Wei Ren Speaking,

I miss blogging!!! yea i know its been weeks since my last posts. Well as you know, I'm a 'busy man':
Working all day in the airport,
watching movies after movies,
attending birthday parties and house warmings,
chasing girls,
making new friends,
going for open houses,
going gym,
evening joggings at east coast park,
undergoing my makeover,
late night cycling,
kung fu session with my buddy,
tennis sessions with schoolmates,
big time shopping with my pay at queensway,
attending officer course,
going back to Broadrick for trainings,
collecting back results,
and blah blah blah...

It's one of those things. When one reached this point of his life, his life is full of activities and programmes which are fun and enjoyable, better yet it's the things that he wants to do, and not obliged to do. However, even with these moments, it's not necessary that he's happy.

Just like those men and women who have reached their midst of their lives and started to feel depressed and sad as their souls have yet to realise their purpose of this lifetime. And that's known as the infamous Mid-life Crisis. I'm experiencing the same emotions but of course, for different reasons. Hmm, I shall term it, Wei Ren Crisis. =p

Wei Ren Crisis: A state whereby Wei Ren is facing emotional turbulence. It can happen in two ways: Eventful and Spontaneous. Eventful is when Wei Ren face sufferings due to external events which can't be controlled by him and the circumstances knock him out hard. Example, her la! who else! As for spontaneous, Wei Ren can experience mood swings and bad times at just any moment at any time at anywhere without any warning! Example, hours after i received my O's results, my happy mood just went all the way down to a state of sadness!

Both are extremely lethal and harmful as it affects how Wei Ren behaves and think, and how he interact with others. Most of the time when he sufer Wei Ren Crisis, he'll behave in a way that's not himself. He'll keep quiet more often than ever. He can't sleep. He can't eat even!(yes! it's that powerful!) The cause and existence of Wei Ren Crisis is still under research. It is made up of great complexity that mysteries behind it can never be solved.

Fortunately, there's a solution to it. Clarification.
It's a powerful tool that solves all woes. However, it takes time to master it. But once it's mastered, you're the king of your own world! Happier than ever before!

Enough of those 'emo emo thingy', it's just me, please bear with it. Well if you visit a blog linked on the right column of this blog, You'll find even more of this stuffs. And whenever I visit her blog, I'll just put myself in her shoe and feel the pain that she felt. Sigh, how i wish guys can be nicer to people like her. Hey, no offense this time! Serious! Well anyway, i shall not say too much about others, as this's how misunderstandings always occur!

Here's the real deal, O Level Result! Although I didn't score real well, but i'm proud of it!

L1R5 - 16

L1R4 - 12

English - B3

Chinese - B3

E Maths - B3

Phy/Chem - A1

Geography - A2

Literature - B4

History/S.S. - C5

Art - C6

I'm not bragging la. Not so thick skin anyway. I'm satisfied but on the other hand, not really contented. Well firstly, my maths. Prelims - F9. Improved by 6 grades! English, from C5 to B3, improved by 2 grades. Chinese during June Paper, C5. Improved by 2 grades too. Phy/Chem for Prelims, B3, improved by 2 grades. Geography for prelims, B4. Improved by 2 grades. History/S.S. and Art remains the same.

When people ask me how i study, seriously, i didn't know what to answer them. Because i don't want them to follow what i did: One week before the main papers- chiong tuition and tys, read all the guide books and revision notes. 2 hours before each paper- face the books as if it's the girl I like. That's it! Man, for the whole of the year, it's only during this time when i study seriously, seriously. How i wish i study a few hours more so that those 3 B3s i got could become A2!!!! ARghh!!! But I'm proud of myself for doing better than I thought. I take pride with my achievements, and not being arrogant about it, like some people. I think I'm just lucky this time round with my results! One thing- don't be complacent, there's a 7-pointers in the house, I'm just nothing compared to his results!

Sad to say, I'm forbid to enter JC by my mother. As she said that they couldn't afford to send me to university after that. Well, I have no choice but to oblige to my folks. Well actually, i'm totally fine with this obligations as I'm kind of more interested in going poly.

So, here's my choices.

1st choice - Diploma in Chemical Engineering, TP

2nd choice - Diploma in Aviation Management and Services, TP

3rd choice - Diploma in Biotechnology/Biomedical Science, TP

4th choice - Diploma in Electronics, Computer and Communications Engineering, NYP
5th choice - Diploma in Mechatronics Engineering, NYP

Due to their guilt of taking away my freedom of not able to choose to enter JC, which i'm fine, and also being happy over my results, they're going to compensate/reward me with a brand new laptop! Splendid! I'm gonna own a computer for the first time!!!!

I've already started making plans for my laptop. Here's what i'll download and install:
Windows Xp Home Edition
Macromedia Dreamweaver
Photoshop
DVD ripper
Alice (an animation software download)
MP3 encoder
All sound recoder
Realplayer
Language learning CD-rom(Japanese)
Windows Messenger

Medieval War
and many many more!!!!

Honestly, I was suffering throughout sec 4! Sigh, glad it's over, yet, I MISS BROADRICK!!!! Those memories, will always occupy a space in my heart.

So what's next?

Right now i'm attending Volunteer Instructor Programme under redcross youth. Upon passing this course, i'll return back to broadrick redcross unit as an officer and help/guide the unit towards attaining excellence.

Also, I'm currently working for a F&B brand call Mix. It has 3 branch. Changi Airport T1, OUB Building and Raffles City Shopping Centre. I'm located in Changi Airport T1 Transit Lounge. I love this job as the pay is not bad - $6/hr and $7.50/hr for midnight shifts. Also, it's one the healthiest brand in the F&B industry. I can drink fresh orange juice, apple juice and all types of smoothies for free! The environment in the airport is great! I'm working side by side with aeroplanes! ESPN channel is just in front of my workplace! That's when i saw superbowl and english premier league live! There's rest areas to sleep when i'm tired while working midnight. I learnt to cut fruits in lightning speed! With style too! I made great friends, although i'm the youngest there. I like the customers, who varied from Australian to Zimbabwean. I learn to speak basic japanese. Yup. So those interested in this job, feel free to contact me, only when you can commit to at least two months. As they don't want one-month workers, or those who can only work for weeks.

Wow! I can't believe it! I watched 11 movies in the month of January! That's like 3 movies a week on average. A record for me!
Best - Blood Diamond
Funniest - Kung Fu Mahjong 3
Lamest - Borat
Most gross - Apocalypto
Most controversial - Babel
Most boring - Pan's Labyrinth
Most Powerful - Conversations with God
Most intriguing - The Illusionist
Most inspirational - Gridiron Gang
Most artistic - One Last Dance
Least best - School for Scoundrel

As for the month of February, there's 7 must-watch movies!

Alright, until next time!
