Yay! Finally my long awaited iphone is here! Yes I did reserve to collect during the launch event of iphone 3GS but NO WAY am I queueing up for "5 HOURS" to get a phone "THAT I NEED TO PAY".

When I was happily reaching ComCentre to collect my iphone, the long queue made me gasp. I can only say 1 thing: "SINGAPOREANS ARE REALLY KIASU!" Would you want to queue for 5 hours for a $30 iphone accessories voucher? No way man! My 5 hours is more precious that that $30 voucher!

I was told that I will be informed of another date to collect my iphone. The iphone was soooo popular that the white colour was sold out. But actually I reserved for a black one in the first place.

Anyway, for those who "Commented" that I seldom update my blog, this is good news for "you". I will be using iphone to blog as and when I'm outside. I seem to get more things to write when I'm outside. So please see my mobile blog at:

http://iblogasigo.wordpress.com

In case you think the name is difficult to remember, let me break it down for you:

I blog as I go

Now it's easy to remember right?

The reason why I'm using wordpress is because they have created an iphone application that makes me easy to write my posts so why not?

I had already posted my first post. It's short but do check out. Thank you.

It was a hell of a week for me. I started my lessons from Monday to Wednesday on top of maintaining my full-day job. I just realised it's not easy man. By the time I reached home for my leftover dinner and bath, it was already 12 midnight and I have to wake up the next morning to go to work! So I'm only left with weekends to revise my work. Hopefully I can get through this and make it a habit coz I still have 2 years to go T.T ~

Yay~ Updates ~



Saw this creative piece of carrier from a customer's. But too bad it has to be returned back.



I'm not sure if this ice-cream is easy to find elsewhere but I know that if the uncle is not going to ring the bell at my neighbourhood selling this ice-cream, I wonder if anyone will be selling this ice-cream again~



FINALLY! FINALLY! Our lift is done! I don't have to tolerate all those noises and dust anymore! When it was still in progress, the place was covered up until it was so dark and dirty.

If you saw yesterday's sheng shiong show, you probably would have saw that the basketball ball counter was spoilt when the contestant was throwing the ball over. Yup, I was there to witness everything,



If you want my honest reply, I rather watch the Sheng Shiong Show at home. It's interesting that you can see how everything was shot but I think you wouldn't like it when they keep asking you to do the following:

- Clap LOUD
- Say "BAI BEI" & action hands when kym ng is opening the box
- If you have idols singing during that show, please prepare to SCREAM at your loudest. That's what they want. Don't hide behind your banner! Show your pretty face!
- Say "JIA YOU" when the 2 contestants in sumo outfits are turning the wheels over.

As you can see, you are not going there to see "FREE" show. And if you hate to see your face in the TV screen, don't sit in the front haha. Because the cameraman will always shoot the audiences in front.

If you think the stage is very big in the tv show, you are wrong. The actual stage was very small. Probably the same size as the stage we have at school. The space is even smaller with all the wall designs covering up.

Anyway, this is some experience but I'M DEFINITELY NOT GOING THE 2ND TIME!

One thing you will never know is, when the show started, one woman in the front audiences was having fits and luckily the show was playing a recorded singing. All the persons-in-charge were frantically moving the woman out of the seat as quickly as possible before the real-live show started.



This was taken at tanjong pagar xchange. All the shops were closed during sundays. I guess business must be bad.

Ok that's all for my updates~ More than enough right? LOL

What a shocking news ~ michael jackson had left the world before he can even start his world tour performance. I think it's better for him. Why do I think so? Because, at his age, becoming bankrupt can be very stressed and with all those law suits following him. At least now he don't need to think about all these and R.I.P. No more worries~

Spent my weekend at home watching Michael Joseph Jackson's MTVs through the MTV channel. Some of the songs like Billie Jeans and Bad are quite nice. At least he looked normal back then, but now, his face is really scary.

The Ridge Racer psp game was not easy to play, maybe for me because I KEPT LOSING! SHIT MAN! I played like at least more than 10 times and I still CANNOT GET 1st PLACE. WTH. Nevermind, I will keep trying till I get FIRST.

School is starting soon, but me and friend may be skipping the first 2 lessons of RMIT visit. Because from what I heard, RMIT teachers from australia came here to VISIT YOU, not really to teach you so why bother going right?

Tomorrow is work again~ WHY DOES THE WEEKENDS END SO FAST? I haven't had enough yet!

No matter how much green bean soup, fruits, herbal tea i drink, I still came down with a flu and now probably cough soon.

I think I got it from 2 of my colleagues who had the same symptoms.

Today is fathers' day. We actually wanted to go to Crystal Jade at Jurong Point for lunch to celebrate this day (also because I had a $30 voucher). However, when we reached there, the place was under renovation. So we decided to go the Dian Xiao Er at JP2.
Luckily, I chose the right place to go because my father's tongue was quite a picky one. Most of the places I brought him, the food is always "not nice" or "so so " for him. But this time, the "Dong Po " Meat captured his taste. He said it was very tasty but definitely not for me because the thick layer of fats makes me feel so scary to eat.

At night, it's big feast time again. We having steamboat at home. So today was a eating time. No time to rest~

Tomorrow is work again haiz~~~

I think the weather lately is really bad, it seems like God is trying to test us to the limit. Everybody was getting sick especially.

Most of them were having fever, flu or sore throat. In fact I just recovered from my fever one month ago. And now, I'm feeling that my throat was abit dry. Please don't let me have sore throat, I better prepare myself with alot of herbal tea before I get sick.

Although I'm not a coffee lover, I have been addicted to Starbucks Green Tea Latte lately. The taste is sooo GREEN TEA! You can even request for more green tea powder when you order. Irresistible taste that I think I will crave for it every once and then.

Yesterday, I was quite shocked when I went into the Lecture Theatre for the enrolment briefing. The LT was soo quiet that I was wondering if I entered the wrong LT.

It was so much different from when I was enrolled in the full-time course. Everybody was busy talking to their friends (probably too excited from being in SIM =.=) and it was also noisy when the course coordinator was talking about the procedures. I felt sorry for her because she had to stop her talking once a while to ask the students to quieten down.

I think I'm in the right place, i.e. changing from full-time to part-time, because the people are more matured, not like those from the full-time~

Things are gonna get busy now when I have classes from Monday to Wednesday. Hopefully I will be more hardworking to revise my work every week.

And yes, I have already decided to buy an iphone~

As expected, my japanese mid-term test results are not good, in fact I failed~ HAHA. This is the first time I've failed since studying Japanese at bunka.

Anyway, I still have a 2nd chance to make up for my mid-term test, the final test for Intermediate 2. I will have to work hard now to make sure I can cover the marks I've lost for the mid-term test.

The new teacher was not as systematic as Tatai sensei, T.T I felt that she talked alot more nonsense in class than we actually learning much. And the class ended 10min later than expected. Class overrun! And she teaches fast~ T.T Lucky there's only 2 lessons left.

I'm not even sure if I will continue after this. My classmates were discussing that all the good ones (female teachers) had went back to japan to get married~ So, only the "not so good" ones are still in Bunka~

I'm trying to figure how to configure wordpress to change into another layout that was downloaded for free from another website. More things to do now and my school is starting~ My $$ flies to SIM's bank account~ T.T

I'm not very satisfied with flickr because the image link actually brings you to the photo album. I think I will try to use photobucket for the time being before I find an alternative.

The opening of Starbucks at CINTECH IV was definitely a hit among office workers. I didn't expect the 250 free tumblers to be snatched up so quickly when it opened on Monday WITHIN AN HOUR. But we still manage to get FREE coffee from there hehe.

Today, I'm finally willing to depart my 6 bucks to Starbucks for this Green Tea Latte I've been yearning to drink. Yay! GREEN TEA is my favourite. Even though I'm a tea addict but because of the word "GREEN TEA", I'm willingly to try this new flavour even though it's expensive.





And the taste: It's tasty but just try not to put much sugar, I topped in 2 packs of raw sugar and it's too sweet.

Oh yah and 1 more point I like to add. Starbucks has been very environmentally friendly. The napkin is recycled, the holder where you hold the hot coffee is also recycled and they donate their coffee beans that is kept for more than 7 days to charities. Nice job starbucks!

It's quite sad when I heard that after my Japanese lesson that our Japanese teacher Ms Tatai will be teaching us for the last time next week and she will not be coming back to Singapore anymore awwwwwww

We asked her the reason and she told us that it's because she had a kareshi waiting for her at Japan. I suspected that it's most probably an arranged meeting or matchmaking or she probably met someone around 1 month ago when she went back to Japan to attend her younger sister's wedding. I think her sister's wedding more or less made her a bit worried that she still did not have a boyfriend.

Actually I think Japanese people are very traditional people. Regardless of how good your future is, girls are still girls, you have to get married regardless~

I just wish her all the best in finding her "xin fu" ~ Shiawase ne~

Replacement teacher: Yamamoto sensei, omg I have a feeling she don't really know how to teach~

I think singaporeans must be very "sua gu" because they did not see a rainbow before in their whole life, or should I say that rainbows are not seen very often. So a rainbow appeared and everybody was talking about it and taking photos of it.

Yay~ I'm trying out this flickr photo album to see if it works better than photobucket. It can even sync with blogger to upload each photo with your post. Cool~

This photo was taken during new year's time. I had forgotten it's the "which day" of chinese new year, but my parents had prepared all this for the midnight to pray. See that "roasted pig", YUMMY..

My blog is becoming a dormant volcano. Was lazy and at the same time and busy over the weekends to update my blog.

Recently, I was busy with studying my test for my Japanese Intermediate 1. After knowing my results on monday, I had to make payment to continue Intermediate 2 the following friday. It was really fast~ I thought that I can still rest for at least a week but no chances. I had already started my Intermediate 2 lesson 1.

In a way, I think it was good as the things that I have learnt is still fresh in my mind. Probably, if I continue studying until Intermediate 4 which estimates to finish by december, I can skip taking JLPT 4 and take JLPT 3 instead which is just nice as the JLPT can only be taken once a year during December.

I think I'm struggling with the Japanese grammar. It was quite confusing as to when to use what, the same thing I had problems with when learning english. Hopefully, I would not be tested on my oral because I suck in saying Japanese haha~

I had taken quite alot of photos since new year but it's still rotting in my mobile phone. Will try to get everything out on my blog next time.

My resolution for the time being is try not to use the computer during weekends because 5 days x 8 hours of UV rays is more than enough to make my skin dull and oily. Urghh, my skin just cannot stop producing these oil sebum. If we can just go back to the olden days, no technology, no plastic, no aircon, no fast food.....I think all human beings will not have obesity, skin problems, health problems or any environmental problems which we are facing now. How can we turn back time now that the earth is getting bad from worse...saa naaa~

It's been a while since I have updated my blog. Yea...was quite busy with studying my japanese test. Ends up that I can't seem to remember all the things taught for the 3 lessons I have attended. It was lucky that they have a revision before the test. Phew~ I thinking my memory is getting worse. I need to really study alot more before I can remember. Haiz~

Some of the reasons why learning Japanese is beneficial:

- One very main reason is because I like Japanese culture, I watch anime, I watch japanese shows and I BUY Japanese magazines. So, there's so many japanese words that makes me faint, lucky they have wonderful graphics that distract you. So eventually, I hope that I can read all those japanese words without translations.

- Do you realise that there are alot of items around us which are always written in Japanese? E.g. If you go to daiso, all the items are in Japanese, your favourite meiji chocolate or going to any Japanese restaurant. Everything is in Japanese. Don't tell me you are not curious of what it means.

- Sometimes when it comes to enjoying japanese movies or shows, able to understand it in Japanese will allow you to understand the show better because sometimes translations do not exactly translates to the real meaning it is trying to tell in Japanese.

Lastly, of course, I wish that by learning Japanese I am able to speak Nihongo when I travel to Japan ^^ (Actually this is my ultimate aim).

Gambatte ne~

Received this forwarded email from my sis. After reading it, it was so reminiscing. All my memories on my childhood was revived again. Thought I share this with all of you. Remember the days where you need to bring the toothbrush to school?

You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse, Ninja turtles, Carebears, Robocop, My Little Pony and Smurfs.
You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You would squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug.
You hated or loved the school nurse (she was either pretty or mean).
You know what SBC stands for.
You paid 40 cents for cartons of Chocolate or Strawberry milk every week in class.
Everyone's wallet used to be the velcro type
It was cool to have pagers in primary school
SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushionwere red. The big red bell gave a loud BEEP! when pressed.
There were still bus tickets and bus conductors would come up to check them.
Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.
You know what PETS are and the hidden animals in all the text pages. You hated penmanship.
Writing lines and caning hands were common, esp if you failed chinese spelling (caning was actually allowed. no shit).
You were there when they first introduced the MRT here. You went for the first ride with your parents and you would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.
Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50.
Gals were fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
You learn to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street.
You bought tidbits called beebee (20 cents per pack, 10 cents in MGS), and mamee (30 cents), that had a different sticker in it every time.
You carried a lunch box to school but either threw away the food or brought it back home again.
You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.
Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven were probably the thickest
story books you thought you would ever read.
KFC used to be a high class restaurant that served food in plates and had metal forks and knives. (I dont remember this, anyone?)
The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'chicken pie'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien translation.
Catching and pepsi-cola was the IN thing, and twist was the
magic word.
Your English workbooks were made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.
You came to school 15 mins before the bell every morning just so you could copy someone's homework.
CDIS was your best friend.
The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellized characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you math.
Waterbottles were slung around your neck and a must everywhere you went.
Boys loved to play soccer with small stones or tennis balls in the basketball court.
Girls played five stones and boys played with marbles.
Science was fun with the Balsam and the Angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fishes.
Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, immortalized in our minds from school textbooks.
We conducted experiments of our own to get badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.
Every Children's day and National day you either got pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or useless plastic files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.
You wore BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.
You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school
to sit down, dry your feet, and wear your dry and warm socks and shoes.
There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday (you hated them).
Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $2 or more for pocket money everyday.
You saw Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.
Boys liked catching fighting spiders, earthworms or tadpoles.
Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.
Class monitors and prefects loved to say, "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"
You got booked for muddy shoes in class.
There were at least 40 people in one class.
You brought every single book to school, even though there was a timetable.
There was a pro-yo/bumblebee, digimon craze at some point in time.

Oyasumi~

新年的初七

New Year is quite boring ~as usual~ except for New Year's eve where my uncles and cousins had lunch and dinner at my place.

Had started my first Intermediate Japanese Lesson on Friday. Tatai sensei was good, compared to my previous sensei. But things are starting to get harder so I had to be more hardworking now~ revision every week.

Some photos to post~



This is my favourite porridge. Only my grandma can cook this kind of taste. Yes, not even my mum. Yummy~







This is a rare sight. Saw this at bukit batok mrt. Can't believe that this wild dog family is able to survive in the hills.



This vacuum cleaner has seen history since we moved in. Yea it has survived for almost 10 years and it's still as strong as ever. Probably because we seldom stress it as we only took it out when we need to do spring cleaning.

Another year has passed and it's time for CNY! But I don't really feel excited for CNY, maybe only a bit for buying New Year Clothes hehe~

I wanted to post some photos that I've taken but it seems like Photobucket doesn't like me to log in~

I'm sure everyone is now busy cleaning their room or house for the CNY. Same for me. Throwing things, buying new stuff~

zzz~ Photobucket is not moving after so many refreshess... I try again for my next post.

Oh I better go refresh my japanese before I start my lessons.
>.<
