just watched a clip posted by a friend

feeling totally lousy now

i'm a loser

:(
i think

everyone around me seem to be getting really excited

why am i not
can't wait for that day to be done and over with

people are expecting things to happen "the way they want it to be"

but i reckon it will not

i do not know what are the expectations

i just want it over

over

pleasing the world ain't my cup of tea

but sometimes

is it just too bad?

just go away and leave me alone

silly contradictions

i'm dumb

i want to go home

i am lost

i am beginning to lose it all

the kind of customers i get

a bunch of bananas!

fools

dumb

rude

problematic

good-for-nothings

trouble

why don't you people just stay at home

just don't come

bosses just can't be worse

"kiah-si"
spider

dinosaur

selfish

busybody

act concern

that's it!

three years and i'm OUT

working with people who are totally dirt is just driving me up the walls

haven't been this negative with MY life

not until i joined this loving lot of earthlings

WOW

i am desperate for motivation

this job is killing me
i am here for

the money

the holidays

the "flexibility" at times

yes!

three years before i am gone

oh well

only motivation

huBb

seven to go

hurry!

lovely isn't it

i love

Ranger Creed

2009-07-30T14:47:00.002+08:00

Recognizing that I volunteered as a
Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my
chosen profession, I will always
endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor,
and high esprit de corps of the
Rangers.

Acknowledging the fact that a
Ranger is a more elite soldier who
arrives at the cutting edge of battle
by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact
that as a Ranger my country expects me
to move further, faster, and fight
harder than any other soldier.

Never shall I fail my comrades I will always
keep myself mentally alert, physically
strong, and morally straight and I will
shoulder more than my share of the task
whatever it may be, one hundred percent
and then some.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a
specially selected and well trained soldier. My
courtesy to superior officers, neatness
of dress, and care of equipment shall
set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies
of my country. I shall defeat them on
the field of battle for I am better
trained and will fight with all my
might. Surrender is not a Ranger word.
I will never leave a fallen comrade to
fall into the hands of the enemy and
under no circumstances will I ever
embarrass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude
required to fight on to the Ranger
objective and complete the mission,
though I be the lone survivor.

=fireman's post=

wat can u do when u got nobody to talk to?
wat and who will u turn to?
will u do sth tat keeps u occupy?
or will u rather slp?

i am so vexed. i miss her.
tons of things to tell her,
tons of things to share,
tons of things to ask.

"God will not answer ur prayer if u r not fully believing him"

i'm on standby, at home waiting for things to happen.
tat is wat i have been doing for the past 2 weeks.

"when u call me hubb, my heart skip a beat"
"when u smile at me, i feel younger"
"when u touch me, u instantly melt me"

i'm madly in love wif u, don leave me alone again,
bring me wherever u go.

3 more days

2009-07-27T14:54:00.003+08:00

==fireman post==

cos she is not here...
i need her so badly, i need u to lift me up...

"I had found myself head over heels in love with you."

hubb,

2009-07-26T18:35:00.003+08:00

i need u to boost me up.

i need your help. save me.

will you come home?

connection is back

2009-07-21T19:13:00.002+08:00

it's a fireman post

its been days since she is gone.. feeling so empty and don't know what to do..

well today, i took my ippt and i achieved a gold standard, but there is no monetary
award...some of people say that "Ivan, give u 6 months and u will have difficulties
getting silver." i snub back. "we will see how its goes, who will have the last laugh"

last night i called up my crazy cousin for a drink, went to his usual place. (lot, stock, barrel).
had a couple of pints and reached home before 2am.

people are skeptical.

"why am i getting married at such a young age... nowadays people or rather guys would want to delay and "siam" at all cost "

but i am different.

people "celebrate" if their partner is in overseas but i don't. i had been there done that, there isn't a need for me to "celebrate"; i love staying at home. If you want to ask me out for a drink, just call me. i love to drink; beer tasting. (";)

you see the point.

another group of people will ask "Are you prepared for married life? It's not a game, its for life."

people will ask stupid question like "you all just get tgt so short, know each other also not enough, wait argue abit only wan to divorce. u know each other living habits liao anot, wait cannot adapt to it then everyday argue"

although you might be elder or my senior, i forgive you, you are mainstream people but i am not.

===================================================================

food for thought session!!!

to plan a wedding is not easy thing sia.. u must need people to help u, jus alone the 2 of u is not enough!!

stay calm and relax, if u plan well, there is always ample of time..

if u gana "screw" by ur partner, learn from your mistake; it take 2 hands to clap.

attend counselling, seek professional help, let professional people look into your marriage (men are ego and they are often blinded by the simplest thing)

chill relax, have a good laugh. u earn it cos its ur life, its your show!!!

love Him and He will answer.

================================================================

i miss the days when u r around.

i miss your face.

i miss your arms holding onto me.

i miss your eyes looking deeply into mine.

i miss u grace hun hun.

2009-05-27T09:22:00.004+08:00

ONE already

bad one

seized all activities
just in case
if the bunk fails
i am alone

failing to plan is planning to fail
BULLSHIT
plan a plan only to fail it in the end

a few more times and...
immune!
哈哈哈

a need to be calm
be understanding
trying

was talking with wenqi
basically her point is that
i shut up and follow
for the simplest reasons
they are the paying party
both of them are the oldest
they are chinese chinese
bottomline is
they are one family

wenqi votes; sacrifice
grace votes; live for the moment

what is the definition of sacrifice?
without returns?
sufferings?

my moment; just you and i + HIM
not possible
the bible says
honour your father and your mother

thrown off balance
can't believe i got a flat just like that
3rd June
am in for it
9th June
make or break?

it's make
at least for now

ready
on my marks

second last

2009-05-26T12:42:00.002+08:00

In our day-to day existence,
Evil sometimes wears a mask;
Trust the Lord for true discernment;
He gives wisdom when we ask.
