Hola everybody! Not sure if anyone still reads this piece of disused blog but oh well, it's been a while since i've last written and now i've finally mustered enough determination to semangatly update my life abit.
Before i do just that, i just want to wish everybody a happy mid autumn! 月圆,月饼更圆,阖家齐聚乐团圆!
Anyways, i think i should change upgrade my desktop. Hmm, i'm setting my sights on this:
Buy? Don't Buy?
Yeah, the 27 inch, upgraded to 3.4ghz quad core i7 and radeon 6970m 2 gb. Which will set me back by about 3.5k.
HAIZ. I'm sinking thinking. Just sinking thinking about it.
Allow me to rationalise my choice: Even if it may seems that i'm just being impulsive about it.
Just want to get a fast enough desktop that'll last me for the next 5 to 6 years i.e. future proofing.
The 27 inch LED screen is oh-so tantalising.
I can finally play PC games after, like, 5 years since i had my current desktop. Er, wait, didn't i just bought my PS3? Oh well, one can never get enough of gaming.
Base on #3, yes, my current desktop is like 5 to 6 years already. Still working properly, but, well, hmm. WOLS.
Who doesn't want an iMac with 27 inch screen, upgraded to 3.4ghz quad core i7, 8gb RAM and radeon 6970m 2 gb?
Ok, other #1 and #4, i admit that the other points are merely driven by my irrationality.
To buy or not to buy, that is the question.

The A to Z of AL EYE EFF YEE.
The short answer is pretty good, kthxbai.
The long answer is:
I've got a job, starting to build a career. Looking forward to live the life.
My parents are like semi-retired, no longer need to slog at the food stalls, living the life. My mom's globetrotting whenever she can and my dad, though not as active, goes around playing chess (dam, draught, checkers or whatever you call it), going to turf club occasionally and all that. My brothers, well, think they're doing quite well too.
I've got Joey, the love, my love, who's got my back and i hope i've been doing enough of my part of getting hers.
Good friends, whom are heading in all sorts of directions in their lives.
I'm getting back in shape. Round, that is. Hmm, I shall muster enough mental strength to exercise but i suspect that it'll be tougher than what i have to do before updating this blog.
I've just completed my in camp training for this year, 3 down and 4 to go. Looking forward to receiving the hamilton watch :) However, I ain't looking forward to the yearly IPPT liability. Not when the new IPT scheme is in effect next year for me.
I'm deeply infatuated with these currently:
300 over thousand dollars sial. haiz.
er, also 300 over thousand dollars, sial.
Oh well. All in all, just counting my blessings :)

I'm also planning for a year end trip too! But you know, it's a challenge to secure a 又批又漆又大脸谱你 deal.
Well, to elaborate abit, it's a year end getaway, but more importantly it's a celebration. Er, we've gotten together on a 24th Dec you see... ...
Anyways, I'm thinking of either a 4D3N or even better, 5D4N to any of the following places:
Hong Kong! 买东西吃东西买东西吃东西!
Royal Carribean cruise with 3 port of calls
Bangkok?
Bali?
Budget's about 500 bucks per pax for travelling and accommodation. Don't know if can la. I'll try my best. Let me know if you've got any 好康逃 ok?
Since we're on a topic related to travelling, here are some places i'd really like to go visit leisurely in the future when i can afford it:
Taiwan (哦,阿里山的姑娘美如水呀...)
New Zealand (visit the LOTR site , see if really the population of cows really as much as Singapore's, bungee jump and tandem skydiving)
Germany (What else, for the Oktoberfest of course! Also not to forget, to drive along the Autobahn, and maybe around the legendary Nurburgring)
Looking forward to everything you know, but, you know, you know, future lor. So, KIV lor.

To end the post, I'd like to share with all the following phrase i've learnt somewhere:
穷要穷像铁,哺要哺胜天
According to the source where i've heard this from, this is a Taiwanese quote which roughly relates to being happy in life.
Loosely translated, it means, "when poor, one must have a will of steel; when rich, one must be richer than the heavens."
