* Chilling out Hotspots & yada yada *
Exams are approaching real soon.. pressure is heating up. So many subjects and I dont know which one to start. 6 subjects to revise, wah seh, problem big time. The mugging will begin soon ladies and gentlemen, standby to fall in at Suntec Starbucks 24/7. Sebei stress ah.. And on top of that, my driving basic theory test is happening on my examination day, double stress. I need the boost of caffine to charge up.Hai, I was late for lesson again, think I was 45 mins late lol.. but lucky the lecturer never say anything. Usually she have alot of comments for the latecomers, criticize criticize and yada yada.. Chilled out with Erica and Alvin over at our usual haunt after school. The good old Hk Cafe located at Marina Square after lesson. We were waiting for Val to come after he is done fixing the new lowering springs and sports suspension for his car.
He finally met us around 7+ 8, and we decided to go for a ride and find another chill out place. Inital plan was actually to go Changi Airport, than after awhile switch to East Coast. But while Val was driving along the express way, I non chalantly mentioned about my dream apartment over at Cozy Bay to them, and suddenly Erica suggested we go there to chill. We were like, hmm.. what the heck, let's go!
It's just a short and bumpy drive (the lowering springs and suspension are darn hard, need sometime to get use to it lol), we finally arrived at cozy bay. The first reaction I got was, WAH! The place is darn cool la, and its very peaceful and its by Kallang River. I think I have good taste la, wanting to have my dream bachelor pad over at such a good place.
Apprantly Cozy bay is the name of the cafe (or bar?). It is situated directly opposite Singapore Indoor Stadium. Its extremely quiet and peaceful, and the breeze was kinda good and revitalizing. The ambience is very romantic, and of course to prove my point, there are some couples there making out on the bridge that links to the indoor stadium directly. And I must say, the cafe is darn huge.
We quickly settled down and place our order. Me, Erica and Alvin shared a jug of fruit punch (had enuf caffine for the day), and Val ordered Ice Lemon Tea. Erica ordered wedges and its damn good, or perhaps we were all hungry at that point of time lol. The service is quite good IMO, and the price is pretty reasonable for a place with such good settings. Sadly we stayed there for about an hour plus and left, as it was getting late. Oh, budding couples out there should consider this dating hotspot if you didnt know already, the only disadvantage is that you will need a car to get there. No Bus. Or grab a taxi there and of course call a cab home when your done. Heres some badly taken pics from yours truthly:
The surrounding ambience. Kallang River. Indoor Stadium. The Bridge. At the time when I took this shot, there was about 3 couples making out there.
The Cafe. The tower is also part of the cafe. Nice for romantic dates. Blur Pic, for I took this shot in a hurry. But heck, see this as an artistic shot will ya? :D
The Fruit Punch. Lemon Tea (Glass bottle). The Potato Wedges. Featuring our Best Friend, Marlboro Ciggies lol.Well, I will definitely go back there again when I can. I am starting to like Cozy Bay. And when I finally get my driving license, this will definitely be my first destination. Man I just cant wait.
Today, Well, the usual. I was late for lesson again *bleh*. Hanged out in the library to continue with my SSIT assignment. To my suprise, Eugene took half day leave and came to school to look for us. Waited till he came and we set off for lunch, and Erica went off to meet her bf for lunch.
We decided to catch the movie Mr Bean, as the timeslot was just nice. And off we went to Cathay. Erica met us directly at Plaza Sing and we walked there. Everyone was semi drenched as it was still drizzling heavily and we all shared umbrellas. There were like 5 of us. Me, Alvin, Jeff, Eugene and Erica. Too bad Val and Cal cant join us.
I must say one thing, THE MOVIE IS DARN GOOD LA! Must watch for all Mr Bean fans like me. Brings back the nostalagic memories of the past, while catching Mr Bean on the TV. The theatre was full even though it was only 3.15 in the afternoon. We all had good laughs, the theatre simply went hysterical watching Mr Bean and all his stupid acts. LoL. Sadly, my mood was marred alittle from a little episode of what happened in the afternoon while I was talking to her. But the movie cheered me up :).
A Die die must watch show. I rate it 6 out of 5 popcorns LoL.

A Die die must watch show. I rate it 6 out of 5 popcorns LoL.we were all hungry after the movie. And Mr Eugene brought us over to eat Dao Huay that was just a short walk away. Wah, the Dao Huay damn good, in fact, it was the best I ever tasted. I think many peeps also know the name of Rochor Road Dao Huay, this is it!
5 of us ordered 5 dao huays (come in hot and cold), and 3 yu tiao(s). Tao Huay and yu tiao is one of the world best fusion la. Anyway, the yu tiao is pretty good as well. And its dirt cheap! About 2 bucks per person. And its tasty and very filling (that was my dinner). I even da bao for my mum, and she she even call me to buy more next time LoL.
Anyway, Eugene left after eating as he have to head home. Erica brought the rest of us to a cafe near by to chill out. Guess what it's called? Mr Bean Cafe! I mean, literally that Mr Bean, not that 1 that sells dao huay lol.. Wah, so qiao, we watch Mr Bean the Movie and we get to chill out at the cafe with some Mr Bean's theme.
The ambience was pretty good, and the seats have got cushion. Shiok. There's some crowd that was mainly formed up of working executives. Our bunch were the most shabbily dressed among them lol.. What the heck.. The drinks are ok and the price too. Standard charges. Not bad.. will go back again soon. Perhaps on Saturday? LoL.. oh well.. We stayed there till around 940 and we all called it a day, and home sweet home.
Hopefully next time I will take some pics of the Mr Bean Cafe heh.. till than.. tata :).

* Updates *
Sup guys, how's everyone doing? Heh.. what an opening.. lol..Had my Economics mock exam today. Wow.. i managed to screw myself up a real lot, for I know nothing about econs. Blanked out for awhile but thank god our lecturer relented and let it be an open book test. Whew. But still.. it doesnt help much. Of course I did badly, but I know where my mistakes are. Gotta work hard on my econs man.
So that's 2 mock exam down, and 2 more to go! SSIT assignment deadline on Friday, and my progress is pretty slow. About 4 more long questions to complete. Gotta rush alittle more. I think the next mock exam would be Fianancial Accounting. Argh.. How I hate accounting. My Balance sheet only balance once in a blue moon lol..
Nothing much for school, you know.. lectures as usual mambo jumbo, assignment deadlines to rush, and the lectures are all as boring as hell. Oh well..
As for my social life, its also the usual affairs. Chill, and chill and chill, with a little KTV madness on Wed last week. Well, basically the gang all shown up, including Eugene, whom took half day off from work to join us, haha.. nice. That's like 7 of us. Me, Val, Cal, Jeff, Erica, Alvin, and Eugene. Haha.. did some crazy stuff together and we never had such fun like this for real long. Really good to unwind ourselves after a real long battle with our BS assignment. There's Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) for the drinking addicts, but is there any Chillaholics Anonymous (CA?) for a chillout addict like me? LoL.. Here's some pics of the Crazy 7:
From left: Calvin, Valentino, Lim Bei (me), Erica, Alvin, Eugene and Jeffery.Wah, poor Erica Kanna sandwiched by 6 Guys LoL.
Haha.. This is funny! Notice the height? I am the shortest.. NOOOOOOOO! Haiz..
*Bleh* Stupified.
Jeff. Me. Erica. Eh Jeff, whats that expression sia? lol.
Haha.. Funny shot, and I "happened" to be sitting in between them, so what the heck, I joined in the shot LoL. I look.. hmm.. spastic? LoL..Anyway, woke up darn early yesterday morning. Its being a real long time since I woke up at 6Am in the morning. Took a quickie wash up and shower, and I set off with my parents over to my Auntie's place. Waited there for my Uncles and Aunties to arrive, and off we go to Chua Chu Kang Cemetry. Yes, Qing Ming is coming, and my Family have the custom of visitng the graves 10 days earlier.
And come to think about it, I am the only young one that went with my Family. My Sis is enjoying herself in Taiwan with her friends, Jie and her bro cant wake up, and I think Jessica also sleeping.. Wah.. Why only me sia haha.. Oh Well.. *bleh*.
Well, spent the whole morning finding 3 graves. Namely My Great Grandfather, My grandmother and erm.. I think my Great Great Grandfather. Man, here I thought my family was one of the earlier birds there, since theres another 10 more days to the official Qing Ming. But the whole cemetry were packed! Wah, those peeps are sure early.
Well, was dead tired once I was back at my Auntie's place. Watch abit of TV and K.Oed till late afternoon. Did nothing productive for the whole day I guess. Wanted to study alittle of Econs but I was simply too tired.
Well, my mum was tired too so she suggested we all eat out. My Auntie suggested going to eat at a "restuarant" over at Chua Chu Kang Park. The place serve Malay Cuisines and also chinese "zhu chao". Even my tai-ma (Great Grandmother) also came along, but she cant really walk, so we put her on a wheel chair.
I should say the food there is pretty ok la. Nothing fantastic, but I ate quite alot. Hmm.. no no, no I, but WE ate alot. I think we are all too hungry, even my tai-ma's appetite is good, which seldom is. But we are all happy that she's happy, for its a real long time she last ate out.
Here's some pics as evidence of the aftermath lol:
These are just a part of what we consume lol. And I love the Ice Milo Dinosaur.
And here's my Tai-ma. And she's sure one happy lady LoL. Its being real long since her appetite is so good.Gotten home after dinner, took a quick shower and joined Erica, Val and Cal over at Suntec Starbucks for some quick chilling around 8pm. Apparantly those guys are sitting there for the whole day Studying Econs. Erica bought dounuts! Apprantly she queued about 2 hours to buy it for her bf, and sunbian gotten us some lol.. Btw, I lurveeeeee dounuts. Must stop. thinking.. about.. dounuts.. I.. am.. starting.. to.. salivate.. *drool*.
Anyway, while I was in the library Kat Called me today and ask me to get onto MSN. She Sent me a art work that shes preparing as part of her portfolio for La Salle registration. Your work is fine, its seriously very nice imo and you really dont need to worry so much that you cant enroll. Have more confident in urself and also your work. Its good enough. So work hard for your next piece, and good luck to your enrolment! Jiayou!
Oh well, thats about all now. More updates to come when I have more time! I`ve got assignment to rush, exams to finish and sleep to catch LoL :D.

* Where did the time go? *
Well well.. another "eventful" weekend zoomed passed just like that.. man.. I can barely catch up with time.. And I get to change my spoilt Sony DVD Burner drive to a shiny BenQ DVD Burner at a darn cheap price. And I upgraded my singnet from 1500kbps to a 3Mbps plan, with a shiny new 2Wire ethernet wireless modem. Now I can connect via wireless at any corner of my hourse with the laptop LoL, and my sis can stop complaining hehe.. One stone kill 2 birds. Pure Shiokness..Anyway, Biz law's mock test is over on Saturday, and that will left me with 3 more upcoming papers. Upcoming one will be economics I think, sure fail! Haha.. I know nuts about econs, not to mention drawing those diagrams *bleh*.
And of course, theres still one more assignment to hand up, and that left me 10 more days to go before the deadline.. as usual.. chiong till i drop ah!
After handing my biz structure assignment, I am able to catch some breath, though the mock exams managed to ruin my mood just alittle lol.. But finally I can catch up with some sleep, and erm.. I overslept and was kinda late for lessons nowadays (Feel so guilty.. but what the heck!).
Nothing much lately I guess.. just spending my time in school, or simply chilling out. Hmm.. being chilling out almost everyday after lesson or assignment. I think chilling out is a good way for me to rest and just recharge. And of course my usual kahki is Erica, Val, Cal, Jeff and Alvin. Everyday kopi session, but somehow we never get tired of it. And come to think about it.. its kinda a good way for us to loosen up and joke around.
Life 's much more pressurizing than before, but I think my time's were well spent. I work hard, but I chill even harder lol.. I admit that I am a hardcore chill out addict :D. And of course its either my schoolwork is keeping me busy or my gang is keeping me busy, I dont have to think about alot of stuff, and I also learned alot from them. Glad I know these wonderful peeps lol..
Its sure taking a toll on my body with all the late nights and early days. My body is so tired and sometimes i felt really burnt out. Oh well.. part and parcel of my life I guess.. no pain no gain ultimately.. Waking up with my nuaness and I should say I am god damn alert once I reach home everynight. My body is sure getting used to this torture lol..
The guys are all talking about a KL cum Genting trip during June holidays. Wah liew.. it sure got me all fired up. I need a break.. and a damn good 1 lol.. I can get to choose to stay at Alvin's home or Calvin's home. Ai seh.. I am spoilt for choice lol. I think if we really go there, all hell will break loose haha.. god.. sounds so fun la! Time to save up hehe.. I am broke (theres never a time I isnt anyway).
Till than, enough about "fantasizing" first.. back to reality. Have to overcome my exams first. Reality hurts.. *ouch!*

* Boredom vs Stupidity *
Finally done with my Business Structure's assignment. Was basically staying in the school library to slog it out using the laptop i borrowed from my sis. Slept very little for the past 1 week or so. About 4 hours of sleep max everyday.Managed to finish my assignment around 3+ 4 am in the morning. Wah, buay tahan ah. My mind feel so numb right now, i cant really think straight. Assignments are the ultimate killer. And come to think about it, I have 1 more assignment to go, and 4 mock test to sit. And the first one is tomorrow -.-. Business Law, chim module haha.. hope can pass la..
And I kinda realise something. I need a laptop! LoL. Man, its kinda fun to be bringing a laptop to school and do my assignment anytime and anywhere. And I can access my school's wireless network and go on msn or simply just surf the net for my assignment researches. Its kinda fun using the laptop in class as well as I can chat with some friends on msn while taking down notes of the lecture and listening to my lecturer go yada yada yada...
And there's a nifty build in webcam that I fool around with during boredom. Wah, msn experience was never better lol.. And what do you get when your bored in lecture, with a laptop on your desk with a built in webcam? Hmm.. I got to take a pic of myself in boredom and upload it to my blog lol.. heres the pic.
Sian ah! Bleh! *Yawn*
Haha.. lame I know, but I find it entertaining for some reason lol.. should do that more often, perhaps taking pic with the the gang featuring our bored expression. Hmm.. sounds like a plan :D . *snickers*
Anyway, when I gotten home yesterday night, I discovered some laptop brochures on my computer table. I was like.. hmm? So I ask my dad if he was the one that placed it on my table. He said yes, cause he want me to take a look at which one is better, and I choose the one I like. He offered to buy a laptop for me, even without me asking, I was like... so shocked and so touched of my dad's gesture. Man, I love my parents! They are the best, and it really warms my heart.. But sadly, there's no laptop in the brochure that tempted me to buy, or the price is simply too ridiculous. Oh well.. wait till got offer than buy haha.. I am in no rush anyway.
Oh well.. time to study alittle on my Business Law, and finally I can sleep more :) .

* life? *
Wah lao eh, I think I am really shagged to the bones. Irregular sleeping hours, tight deadlines for assignments, waking up early for lectures, loss of appetite and my school's pressure is really suffocating me. Damn.. I never felt so tired ever since the army.Now I am suffering from the aftermath of all these late nights, and more to come later. 2 more major assignments to hand up, and my mock tests is around the corner (about 10 more days actually), and my mid year exams are coming real soon. Wah seh, there's no end to this. I got kinda sick, well.. you know.. feeling feverish and stuff, lethargic-ness, my eyes hurt from staring at the computer screen for way too long, and I have some ulcers problem and I cant eat properly. Its a torture to chew food in my mouth and now I only drank liquid most of the time.
The rest of the peeps are equally stressed out. Most of them literally knocked out during lectures. Its funny when I am the only one awake and the whole roll besides me are closing their eyes dozing off haha.. As for me, I dozed off while I was in the library (I was supposed to do research work!). We are all too tired. My mind wasnt really focusing anyway, half listening, the other half drifting away. Partly cause the class was too darn big, and its too darn noisy at times. And when your sitting at the last few rows, its really hard to listen and pay attention.
Was suprised that Chin Heng smsed me today in the middle of my lecturer. He needed someone to talked to and recently I have being kinda philosopical, thus he confided in me lol.. Well, I tried comforting him as I truthly understand what's he going through in the army etc. I simply saw the old me while he was describing his misfortunes while I was in the army. Don't worry bro, what you are going through or experiencing, I am being there done that. Not only me, but plenty of other guys, so your're not alone in this. Pick yourself up, your army life is ending (though I know the last 3 mths really passed darn slowly). And come to think about it, I already left the army for 9 months! Wow.. where did the time go? Anyway, I hope what I said helped you alittle, or at least made you feel better.
I kinda remembered I had this conversation with the gang while chilling out, about life being fair or unfair. I think I should put it in a better phrase. Life's got nothing to do with fairness, but life's simply just a balance. To every human beings, you may have something, but you will also have a lack of the others. Simply put, you may be the richest arse in the world, you led the dream life that everybody yearns to have, but you have no friends and family to share with. You may be the world most charming guy, able to attract girls anytime, anywhere, and your're able to screw every single one of them, but you will never find the soulmate and partner to fill up that emptiness in your heart. You may be a fat ugly guy weighing 100+ kilos, but you have a truthful heart, and being sincere to your friends and finding the girl of your dream whom do not shun you like the rest of the people does and appreciates your qualities.
Now, the 3 examples up there is what I called "life". It is the "haves" and the "don't haves" that mould you to who and what you are today. These are the stuff that formed up your personality, and its also what makes you unique. Every men and women living in this world are unique. We are what we are, and everyone of us have weakness(es).
But, we have never failed to look up to the heaven, asking " Why Me"? And we will never fail to curse and lament on how unfair the god(s) are treating whenever we are out of luck and met with some difficulties and misfortunes. Ever seen yourself in this situation? I guess that includes everybody.
Like I have said, life is all about balance. It is all about doing things with moderation. Things as simple as if you like to skip meals all the time, your prone to gastric pains, but when you eat too much, you will feel terrible and you can hardly walk. It's like efficiency vs effectiveness. If you can define the mean of the 2, and note the differences, you will know what I mean. There's always the ups and downs in life. This is also a balance.
All these formed up the part and parcel of our daily lives. These are the factors that made us what we are. Day in day out, there are never ending problems. Yes, problems will screw us up (damn badly sometimes), but if we can just live through it, we will be able to identify our weakness and improve ourselves ultimately. If we are defeated by problems, we can only pick ourselves up and learn to walk all over again, else, we will never move on and be deafeated by our own weaknesses, and not by the problems.
Embrace changes, be it good or bad, and look on the bright side of life. Ultimately, if your life is all about downs and no significant ups, do not worry. The day will come where your suffering will come to an end and you will be able to seek that happiness of yours. Be it for money or for love. And if you think that you have done some bad or evil stuff, what goes around comes around. It will hit you back straight to your face and you in time will suffer the consequences. Believe in karma, and be punished for your actions. It may not be now, but it certainly will come one day. Wait and see.. your day will come (this is targeted on certain people).
So yup, if you think life is unfair.. than think again. Do yourself a favour and reflect on actions that you have done, and dont blame this world for treating you this way or that. It's simply just seeking balance.
Ultimately, seek and understand your life's balance. Learn to cope with problems be it small or major, all will have a hand in moulding you, or destroying you. Be content of your strengths and improve on it, and understanding your weaknesses and minimising it. Be content of what you have, and live life to the fullest. :)
I think I talked too much again.. damn.. another long post..

* Travelling and Nostalgia *
3 assignments down, and 2 more to go. Just handed in one today. Spent about a week doing it, sleeping at 2+ 3am in the morning everyday. Got a hint from one of my lecturer that my Human Behaviour in Workplace assignment is somewhere around a higher distinction or distinction. Hmm.. either way, its still good. Efforts paid off.. Now, I just have to slog it out for another 2 weeks more or so of sleepless nights to get the last 2 assignments done. And exams are drawing real close.. bleh..On a side note, I have received alot of compliments via SMSes or tagboard from my friends telling me that my pevious entry really inspires them. Thanks alot guys :) Glad that you all enjoyed reading my entries (though its ALL pretty longwinded), and I certainly hope you guys can do some self reflection on your own and make improvements :).
Being feeling pretty blue and moody lately with all the pressures of assignments setting in. The usual affairs, slogging it out in the night and lethargic in the day. And of course, the loneliness that still lingers in my heart 24/7. No matter how hard I try to fill up my days with activities, it still seeps through the cracks of my defence and attack. Feel very helpless when this happens. But day in and day out, I am still seeking my strength everyday. I will survive..
Ultimately.. I am still content with my life, though there are still more downs than ups. Still trying my very best to adapt to single life. Next thing I had to do is to make further lifestyle adjustments here and there.. and I think I will be better.
Was dicussing about the Genting trip with the gang. If everything goes smoothly, hopefully we will be going there around April 21st or so, before Eugene's enlistment to Army on 27th. Man, I am so looking forward to the trip. I think I need to unwind and Genting sounds really good. And I am imagining the gang chilling it out at Starbucks Genting and talk cock. Hmm.. what an experience.. I have never being on a trip with my friends before. And perharps in the future.. I can visit countries further away. Dying to visit Sydney, Melbourne, New Zealands, Taiwan, and Tokyo, Japan.
Speaking abt overseas.. it sure triggers some nostalagic memories. Think back on my "virgin" trip with her to Jakarta, Indonesia. Its certainly a very fresh feeling and both of us were excited, as it was the first time she travel with her bf. Anyway.. just a pic to show the excitment in us..
Apprantly I was being cheeky more than being excited eh? Haha.. Anyway.. we cant stop smiling than.. haha.. This pic was taken on board the plane and its biz class :p. Got upgraded. Shiokness.. The trip was fulfilling and its a huge eye opener for me. Seems like getting stuck in SG for too long will become "Sua ku", literally means mountain Turtle lolz..Anyway.. I think I need more exposure to alot of other things. I still feel very naive and stupid lotsa times.. I dont even remember how Malaysia looks like, not to mention Genting.. havent being there for like.. 12 years at least? Hmm.. beware of Jack. Sua ku on the loose! I need to travel ah... any sponsers out there? :p haha..
Anyway.. thats for all right now.. I still had alot of things in my mind, and also alot more of self reflections needed to be done. Will blog again asap.

* Self reflection. *
Rained steadily since early noon till now. Meet up with the gang for chillout session over at Suntec Starbucks. Jeffery and Erica arrived earlier than expected, and I was late for about 30mins.. So paiseh.. Valentino, being the sleepyhead as usual, joined us at around 5+. Aloy came straight over from school and we went off for dinner. Had a little fun at the arcade before we called it a day.She smsed me from Malaysia today. Said that she's not feeling well, I hope that she will recover asap and wish that she will be able to cheer up..
Anyway.. to follow up on my pevious entry, I guess to put it in simple terms.. its to "enjoy life's simple pleasures". I guess while we are stuck in our day to day routine, we tend to overlook such minute details. Its suprising that receiving and doing these little things from or to people around you can work wonders.
Little things can be such as receiving a compliement from love ones and friends, a little gift from someone, or simply just by a kiss from the someone special. This simple things will brighten up your day, and make you feel appreciated and special. Just a simple gesture, but such strong reactions. Amasing eh?
Does the term "living life to the fullest" rings a bell? Well, if you can read between the lines, to live life to the fullest is simply to experience and appreciate life's simple pleasure. I think alot of people overlooked this fact and interpretate it as doing anything and everything. Very wrong perception I think.. The more correct term for it should have being "being there done that".
So what you have gone for sky diving? What's next? Space Travel? Visit Mars? Where is the stop? When does one knows where to stop? When does one feel satisfaction? Do we, to be honest, have all the time in the world to do anything and everything? Before you realise it.. you will be dead, and not satisfied.
The key word here is contentment. And contentment can be found from just doing simple things. Perhaps by reading a good book, or having a nice chat with your friends or love ones. Food for the soul I guess. Simple? Absolutely.. Can it be done? Of couse!
So people.. slow down your pace in life.. and pay attention to such little things around you, and remember to say thanks and tell the person how much it means to you.. return the appreciation :). It will surely help in relationship and communication. And that.. ladies and gentlemen.. is the best happiness that one can seek..
As for me, I am doing the same thing. Through this breakup, I had learned alot of meaningful lessons. And start seeing things in another perception. The lion (I am a leo fyi) finally learns to be humble, and thank goodness its still not too late. Now I just hope to inspire all potential readers out there on the greatness of simplicity, and perharps you guys will in turn inspire other people around you..
Once you can acheive that, I am sure the rest of life's other greatness will come to you too.. naturally.. No need to force anything. Ultimately, if its yours it will be yours no matter what, and if it isnt, just move on with life, for its not the end. Happiness will knock on your door ultimately, as fate always works in the most mysterious way :). Cest`la`vie! Enjoy life as it is.. :)
