10 years ago...

I was driving halfway when it suddenly strikes me to think of what I was 10 years ago.

That would be 1997. And around July I should be working as a temp at this company call KHL Printing. It was located at Loyang and my friend Joe roped me in as sort of his replacement as he would be heading to Polytechnic soon.

It was data entry at first before I ran out of things to type. Then I was placed in the warehouse in charge of dispatching drivers to make their morning deliveries. As they only do morning, afternoon is really a bore.

I was also awaiting my enlistment at the end of the year (26 Dec 1997).

Fast forward to present time. I own and manage my recruitment firm, I have a place I could call my own, a wonderful wife, a car to go wherever I want and almost everything I have now are things I could never have dreamed of back then.

It's appalling how chains of events lead me to where I am.

However the point is that at times I'd felt unsatisfied with what I have. Always thinking of how I could be more contended if I had more of these or more of that.

But if I were to look at it through the eyes when I was an 18 year old, I should be the ultimate role model to emulate.

And as we all know too, buying more things to fulfill our dissatisfaction is never-ending.

Maybe for once before you fork out that wallet to pay for another thing that you don't really need, think back to 10 years ago. Would the same person 10 years ago also feel the same kind of dis contention as you do now?

My virgin cooking

Over the weekend, I found out that I could actually cooked!

Surprisingly it wasn't very hard. Maybe it's the systematic and consistent manner I approached all the different dishes.

Put oil, pour in minced garlic, pour in main ingredient, stir, serve.



I even donned an apron to show how professional I was.



And Wa La!

1) Tou Miao with minced garlic and oyster sauce
2) Scrambled eggs with onions
3) Stir fried cognac prawns with baby chilli
4) Shitake Mushroom with minced chicken

Rice and soup courtesy of Annie..

He is so gonna get it...

Turf City

We were on our way to IMM on a Saturday afternoon when we heard on the radio about some free tyre check event at Turf City. I personally never been there before. Annie did. She went there with Joycelyn to catch Energy. She insist she was dragged there by her. Yah right.. :p



The first feel one has is you seemed to be entering Malaysia. The place is pretty run-down and you can't see any reminiscence of Singapore (not a single building in line of sight)



The place is divided into two portion mainly. One side is full of auto shops. There is even one that showcase only heritage cars.

The other side is our usual shopping centre. A Giant supermarket, some retail clothing stalls, a seafood market and a pretty cheap 2nd hand book store. Oh, and there is an institute that trains people who wants to work in casino.


Doesn't this look soooo JB..



What I really like about this place is how close to nature it is. It's a place you seldom could find in land-scare Singapore. It reminds me of Seletar Camp where I did my 2 years of NS.



As we were roaming around, hordes of rugby players walked towards the centre. Apparently there is a large field around the area that is used by them for training. There's even a football field and a tennis court.

For those who haven't been to this place, give it a try. The natural surroundings and the laid back atmosphere is truly unique.

And the wanton mee is terrific.

TRANSFORMERS!!!

I totally love the movie. Having a solid understanding of the characters beforehand surely helps. The  designers didn't deviate much from the 1980s cartoon, except for Bumble Bee but he looks way cooler as that Chervolet Camaro.

And has anyone seen a more Beng truck than Optimus Prime? The designers I'm sure are from the Fast & Furious production.


stare what stare~~!

Changes to layout

After getting feedbacks about the non-existence of my blog, I had decided to do something and removed almost every single java script I could locate on my blog template.

The only one left would be the flickr thing but I guess that should be one of the reason.

So if any of those who can't previously and could see my blog now, please let me know.

Die Hard 4.0

Joe, you are right. The movie ain't that good. It wasn't my first choice. GV Grand has almost every available theater under the spell of Hairy Potter, giving only a 2.45pm slot to Trasformers (wtf?!)

Anyway I'll catch that one this Sunday. ;)

I'm back!

I deeply apologize for the lack of postings recently. Moving to a new house has been a major time occupier. The luxury of having our clothes washed, plates cleaned aren't there anymore. So on top of my usual routine, there isn't much time or energy left to blog about anything.

Secondly I'm officially a Mac user now. It still feel kinda strange to me, the OS and keyboard shortcuts are totally different from what I was accustomed to for the past 28 years. Having gotten it, I spent much lesser time in front of my computer. (The time has gone to my Nintendo Wii recently)

Anyway I'm starting to get the hang of it but I still prefer Firefox over Safari.

Now that I had settled into my new home, it's back to normal routine of just work and play(and school but that's only til Dec). I'm catching Transformers tomorrow (FINALLY!) and feel like doing something outdoor this weekend. I haven't had a good sweat-out since my RT and that was like Jan. So it's half a year of no exercise. If this carries on, I will soon not have the privilege of laughing at fat people no more. (ARGH!)

That's some scary thought..

And I promise my readers(what's left of you) that I'll update more regularly. I would be focusing more on entrepreneurship and recruitment since these are what I had been doing for the past 4 years. Hopefully aspiring entrepreneurs and recruiters would find my opinion useful.

For potential job seekers, drop by my company's website. We may be able to help. For companies, we need your business! :D

My to-do list

1) 1 HK series to watch, wit 2 more pending
2) 2 movies to watch (Transformers, Die Hard 4)
3) 3 US Series to complete (Prison Break 1, Prison Break 2, Heroes)
4) 10+ Wii games

With all these pending, where got time to study for my exam in Aug!!??

Will be back soon

Lately very busy with issues on my new house and my school projects.

Will be back soon after (another hectic event) my house-warming on saturday.
