My Abstract Story

its a lifetime experience.

2008-05-11T21:23:00.003+08:00

i just have the sudden rush to blog something quick. perhaps just a short update on my life...

its really a lifetime experience, camping in starbucks from 5-12, met really lotsa people that you know (including teachers as well...), getting chased out and threatened to call the security guards by their staffs, desperate to the extent that we actually brought out laptops and sat down on the aisles of the shopping centres at orchard (!?), and even begged the security guard at the loading and unloading bay to let us use the power-point for our near dead laptops, and then clutching our hands in prayer that the wireless sg network doesn't crash at the 12am mark. and thats the 2nd night that i reached home only at 1 am in school uniform....

.thats the opportunity cost involved in business plan competitions
definitely memorable and hopefully worthwhile.

Away

2008-04-28T02:35:00.002+08:00

I am sorry but to say that I will be away from this site for the days or even weeks to come. I know it is too late to aplogize but I really have a hectic week coming along such that I may even choose to give up VBC semi-finals. I am not sure if I should, but I will battle to the end no matter what.

So sorry, I am away~~~

Leona Lewis- Better In Time

2008-04-21T23:05:00.001+08:00

Guess everyone is familiar of Leona Lewis ever since her first hit, Bleeding Love, climbed up the US, UK and 98.7FM music charts. But do you actually know that she is the winner of the third series of The X Factor Uk television talent show and her debut album, "Spirit", was not only her fruit of labour, but also includes that of renowned producers like Simon Cowell and Clive Davis and artists like Tedder and Jesse McCartney. I was quite shocked when i read about her past history on wikepedia too. In fact, there are many other wonderful songs inside her album apart from Bleeding Love, which i think you all should give it a try. Here is Better In Time... she has a really good voice.

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going
Coming
Thought I heard a knock(Whose there, Noone?)
Thinking that (I deserve it)
Now I have realised
That I really didn't knooOooOw

If you didn't notice
You mean everything (quickly I'm learning)
To love again (all I know is)
I'm be oooOook

(Chorus)

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's going to hurt when it heals too
Oh yeaah (It'll All get better in time)
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile because I deserve too
Oooh(It'll all get better in time)

(Verse)

I could of turned on the TV
Without something that would remind me
Was it all that easy?
To just put us out your feeling

[ Better In Time lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
If i'm dreamin
Don't want to let it (hurt my feelings)
But that's the past (i believe it)
And I know that, time will heal it

If you didn't notice
Well you mean everything (quickly i'm learning)
Oooh turn up again (All I know is)
I'm be ok

(Chorus)

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
Oooh yeah(It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile because I deserve too oooooh(It'll all get better in time)

(Bridge)

Since there's no more you and me (No more you and me)
This time I let you go so I can be free
And Live my life how it should be(No No No No No No)
No matter how hard it is
I will be fine without you
Yes I Will

(Chorus)

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
Oooh(It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile cos I deserve too yes I do(It'll all get better in time)

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too yeaaaah Ooooh oooooh (It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really loved you
Going to smile cos I deserve too Ooooooh (It'll all get better....)

VBC is a really addictive game! Hahah the game is getting much more intense, fun and really lively! LOL, we can get to trade technologies with other people (lol i got like more than 5 traders), though the human resource is abit crappy and unrealistic. How is it possible for a company to pay like 1 million to a guy who will help you boost your sales by 20%? Freaking crap, just like how we lost last year's VBC. You think those employees are magical gods!?

Anyway i am like stuck in-front of the computer, or more precise the VBC game interface, for like straight 3 hours... zZZ Haha really no mood to start mugging for GP or even the ever crappy Chemistry. We are trying to get use to this new format of VBC and aren't really off to a perfect start. While darren and I are like meng discuss tactic, the other 2 members are stoning in the conversation window- 1 afk and the other talking crap (really talking some crap stuffs as if he is really contributing...) Hope that we can get back in time when everyone is asleep... hehehe =p (tmr sleep in lecture)

To end off this post, here is a really interesting picture from vbc forum....

Creative in trouble - to sell it's singapore headquarters for 250 million

2008-04-12T14:45:00.000+08:00

Creative Technology Ltd., a worldwide leader in digital entertainment products, today announced that the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a buyer for the proposed sale and leaseback of the Creative Resource building, which houses the corporate headquarters of the Company and its subsidiaries in Singapore.

The sale price for this proposed transaction is S$250 million (US$180 million), with a leaseback of the whole building for a period of five years with an option for additional periods of three and two years.

The proposed sale and leaseback transaction is conditional upon and subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to, satisfactory completion of legal and building due diligence by the purchaser, the Company's shareholders' approval of the transaction, and applicable regulatory approvals.

The proposed sale of the property constitutes a major transaction under Rule 1006 of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited Listing Manual and accordingly is subject to shareholders' approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company (EGM) to be convened at a later date. A circular to the Company's shareholders, together with notice of the EGM, will be dispatched to shareholders in due course. The circular will contain more details of the proposed transaction.

The proposed transaction is expected to be completed by the end of June 2008.

Creative expects to make a gain on sale of the property of about S$200 million (US$144 million) from this transaction. In accordance with US GAAP, this amount will be treated as a deferred gain and will be amortised and recognised in the Company's Income Statements over the lease term of five years.

----------------------------------------------

Creative, possibly one of Singapore's proudest product, seems to be in real big trouble. Sales of its budget MP3s dropped and new MP3 like zen stone looks unappealing to the consumer market. Last year when i made a trip down to it's headquarters at industrial park, they claimed that the company is fine and is making steady profit over the years. But any analyst can easily find the loopholes within their reports. Ever since they won their lawsuit against apple for their patented mp3 interface, they have been facing a drastic decline over the years. They lost their market share in both the mp3 market and the sound blaster market. Hidden behind their ever looking strong branding may just be a crisis-stricken Creative with their frustrated CEO Sim Wong Hoo.

Now, they have released reports that they will be selling their Singapore headquarters - the one which i have been to for quite a couple of times. I really can't understand why a "supposedly profitable company" will be selling its headquarters. Well, there is a very high possibility that they are really in deep deep trouble...

Some questions to ponder...

1) Are they really in need of this big sum of money to turn against the odds?
2) Selling the headquarters is just a temporary solution to generate capital since the property market is very hot right now and the building can fetch a relatively high price.
3) Do you think it is a right strategy to sell the headquarter?

Well, i have been observing the creative 50 stock in SGX recently, hoping to earn another sum of money. =) Hahaha, just waiting for it to drop below the 6 dollar mark and it will be time to enter the market. (i am desperate for money!!! i want my macbook!)

the most confident test of the year.

2008-04-10T21:55:00.000+08:00

the third math class test is probably the most confident test of the year, hopefully at least for now. Unlike the previous 2 disastrous tests planted with numerous traps (they are meant to kill!), this test is relatively more of a breeze. No major hiccups and there is still sufficient time to check the answer through =).

BUT BUT BUT i still have a careless mistake for question 2!!! Oh freak... I mistaken the question as the normal to the curve instead of the tangent! Oh crap, no full marks for math, but lets pray then it can be my first A of the term.

everyone jiayou for the long list of tests to come- math lecture test (10%!!!), chemistry spa test, GP test, bio lecture test, chemistry class test.... ~~F**N~~

Hope i don't fail the the first test of the term- NAPHA is tmr ... zzz

thanks paddy for the free bak2u anti-theft software!

2008-04-06T23:55:00.001+08:00

LOL it came really unexpected. While i was checking my mail yesterday during start-up boot camp, i was rather surprised by this email from cherry lim... (i haven't been receiving any advertisement offers recently =p) The email goes...

Hi there!

Congratulation for being the first 50 bloggers that re-register at our beta launch BLOG2u website!

As promised, we will be sending you a full version of the BAK2u.com anti-theft software (GadgetTrak for Windows) for your windows laptop/ with a 12 months subscriptions!

(http://www.bak2u.com/laptop.php)

Hahahaha! Being the first 50 bloggers to re-register at the new BLOG2u website never came across my mind since i never get to win in many past futile attempts. but apparently, i was really luck this time!

Haha thanks BLOG2u and BAK2u, and more importantly the owner of both companies Paddy Tan, for giving me the BAK2u anti-theft software. I will definitely give my honest feedback while trying this product and one thing for sure, i can leave my laptop on the class bench in peace. =) THANKS!

I DARE YOU TO STEAL MY LAPTOP! LOL

emo art. i need more time.

2008-04-06T15:23:00.001+08:00

start-up boot camp ended and it was a great experience interacting with competitors and learning from successful entrepreneurs. no doubt it is time well spent, it also indicates that it is time to focus on my academics.

Yi Foong was saying, "You so good, got so many competitions and stuffs." But too many commitments is also one of the key pitfalls last year. I took back my O'levels and Year 4 grades lsat friday, and i can only hung my head in disgrace. Well, some may say that secondary 4 grades are nothing, forget about it and focus on A'levels. But the truth is that people are way ahead of you by the time you start to catch up.

I seriously need to devote my time to studies, and things have to be completed from this moment onwards. Few hours left before the start of a disastrous week, yet again....

Fret not,
drew these with my useless leaked pen before i disposed it off.
Emo art, just needs more time...

tired.

2008-04-04T23:41:00.005+08:00

i just wish that time could stop at this moment for me to take a break, for me to finish my projects, for me to catch up with piles of lecture notes and tutorials. With the gradual increase in pressure from a whole wide range of commitments, i just feel like collapsing.

Anyway i just came back from NUS Business school for the start-up semi-finals boot camp. The lectures was rather interesting, the finance was dry, networking makes new friends. I will be there for the whole day again tmr... and i am clueless how to catch up with academic stuff at this rate.

zZZ~!

Anyway i found a new song recommended by kaiqing. Really nice.. and i will put up the download link for the whole album at a later date.

Enjoy!

latest updates on election results

2008-04-01T22:40:00.001+08:00

These are the latest updates with regards to the highly anticipated election results for the 35th student council. They are plenty of "duhs!" (obviously will get in), as well as surprises (expected to get it but didn't, or black horse that got in). So here i am, analyzing the latest list of results for those who are completely unaware of this latest news.

Starting from the APOLLO Faculty.

1. Darren Wong failed to get it despite his attempt to lip sing umbrella. =(
2. A brave attempt to run by the iParty but none manage to reach the finishing line
3. Shocking news as the ex-chairman of 4A, Wei Sheng, failed to get it. Instead the guy seating beside him, bridge-master Martin Widjaja, entered council!
4. Howard Chiu became the smallest councilor ever!
5. Others selected councilors for Apollo will include the norms like Dominic, Alfred, Qi Han, Jeremy Ang, Terence and IVAN.

Next up is the ARES Faculty (unexpected results indeed.)

1. The first big surprise is that NONE FROM THE HIV team got into council.

2. Great Investor LGK failed to appeal to Aresians, making a lose of few hundred bucks.

3. The best treasurer, Jia Jia, failed to secure his spot. Instead the 2 other Jia(s) entered council, namely Jia Chen and Jia Wei.

4. BOOM looks impressive but only the most enthusiastic and smart looking Zhao Bo (bobo) entered council.

5. Despite being labelled as arrogant, Khang Wen entered council.

6. Yu Meng failed to become a candidate for fac head.

7. Lotsa of random people, whom many didn't vote for, entered council surprisingly.

I am not sure about Artemis and Athena but the results look quite fine to me. If you wanna know more, check the results here. The results, especially ARES, looks really unconvincing to me. There are inside news that some candidates have been selected as "confirmed" councilor even before campaigning. Is that really democracy?

Hundreds of dollars and weeks of effort is worth it for those who made it to the end and entered council. But for the rest, i am sorry to say that...

nice to see
nice to touch
once ~~broken~~ ran
considered sold
(it is non-refundable)

but don't get disheartened because they are still many other races to run...

. . . . . . . .

Note: I drew these faces when i was drove to boredom during the 2 hours of Q&A. zZZ! Here are other random familiar candidates for ARES... LOL try to find out who are they!

LOL it is just for fun.
Don't take it too seriously if you are disfigured =p

WARNING: F1 CAR leave deep scars on singapore roads!

2008-03-31T23:12:00.001+08:00

Fret not, this isn't a fictional story; it is a true first hand information.

Relishing the Chingay Days...

The F1 car first featured on Singapore tracks during this year Chingay 2008. It was one of the star performers for the night, or instead 2 nights (rehearsal and actual day), and the piercing sound made me deaf for near 5 minutes. It was a great experience to have a live view of the F1 car and to witness it zoomed past you in lightning speed when you are just directly standing behind the barricade. I can only say the car was beautiful and the swerve and drift was awesome.

一级棒!

To prove my innocence that i am not just coming up with misleading titles, here are some pictures that we took secretly during Chingay... ~~Shh....

Super friendly F1 assistants, and the red bull car is a beauty.

Hahah we got free flow of red bulls too! SHUANG!

Huge Media Coverage because....

DOWNLOAD Boys Like Girls- Holiday!

2008-03-30T16:15:00.000+08:00

I am a great fan of Boys Like Girls, and their songs are simply marvelous. Most of you may have heard of some of their top hits like "The Great Escape", "Hero Heroine", "Thunder" in my music playlist, and here i have another song to add into this list of songs.

Hope you guys like it, HOLIDAY!

When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an elephant's child
No one could hold me down
No one could keep me around
Now it's your turn, take a shot
Baby show me everything that you got
Maybe you can keep me alive
Maybe you can get in my mind
But it's only a matter of time

Before I run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

My father, he was always wise
As wise as an elephant's eyes
He couldn't hold me down
He couldn't keep me around
So are you gonna take your shot?
It's the only one that you got
Maybe I'll go out on a limb
Maybe I'll jump in for a swim
When the lights go dim

You know I'll run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday
(Need to take a holiday)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

A new start
I've broken too many hearts
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an elephant's child
And I don't think I'll ever change
I think I'm gonna stay the same

I'll run far away
I need to take a holiday (need to take a holiday)
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase (set off on a new chase)
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

A new start
I've broken too many hearts
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

I decided to add a new feature in my blog: Downloading of these shared songs. Instead of making a hassle to download these songs from other sources, i will include the link in my blog so i that you can easily download and put them in your mp3s. There is some problems with my music domain @ boxstr.com (the upload rate is really like tortoise), so just for now, i will be providing the songs from other people's domain.

Wanna request for new songs?

Drop me a tag of the name of the song
i will look through them, and if there are good,
i will put it up with the download link.
Simple.

Thanks
hope you guys appreciate my effort!

Have you seen the new double decker sbs bus?

2008-03-29T13:40:00.000+08:00

I am sure most of you have at least boarded the new series of single-deck SBS buses, with the most common being 174 for me.

But what about a new double decker SBS bus?
well, it is the first time for me ...

Let me introduce you to some of the new add-on features which you may like to take a closer look when you board the new double decker sbs bus.

Tada, the first think that caught my attention is this glowing green electronic detector on my way to the 2nd deck. On a closer look...

53 seats available!? I guess this is a really cool function for commuters like us, who always find it a hassle to make a trip to the 2nd deck only to find that they are no seats available and have no choice but to make your way down again. But some questions to ponder...

How does this detector work? A detector over every seat like how car park systems work? And does the 53 seats refer to the second deck or the whole bus?

So we make our way up, and find a totally new layout!

There is no longer 2 straight rows of seats, but instead at the end of the deck, there are 2 rows that face each other and a vacant space in the middle. Seats are also change to yellow colour ones and the walkway is also slightly more spacious.

I was asking myself...

what is the point of making a vacant space in the middle when commuters cannot stand on the 2nd deck? Instead, we can actually fill the space with more seats by adapting the old layout...

The new design proves to a refreshing makeover from the previous one, but i am not sure if it is a really practical. Judging from the seats arrangement, lightings, type of seats and interior design of the bus, undoubtedly, it definitely looks better than the previous dull looking design, at least from my point of view. Well, there is always a debate of Aesthetic Design VS Function. And i always hold on to the belief that function/practical is always the fundamentals, and aesthetic design should always come later.

So do you think that the new designed SBS bus is a really practical makeover, or does it helps to solve problems like congestion and the lack of seats? I don't really find any new improvements, except that there are fewer seats, and more standing space.

What do you think?

is our principal ugly?

2008-03-26T11:21:00.002+08:00

LOL i was just looking through my handphone photos and realized that i have not been uploading pictures since the start of this year! ZOMG... so here is just a one of the many pictures and i shall call it the photo of the day!

Disclaimer: I didn't write that. i just happen to find it on one of the class benches. do drop a note if you happen to know who is the culprit. LOL

i got 2 nuffnang ads for no reason!

2008-03-23T15:42:00.001+08:00

check this out dude, i actually got ~~not one~~, but

2 nuffnang advertisements on my blog!

i am not sure if it is some sort of error with nuffnang since it was down for quite some time today, slowing down all the blogs with nuffnang codes on it, but my eyes aren't playing tricks with me. there is indeed 2 advertisments!

I was informed by email that there will actually be 1 advertisment this coming week but i have completely no idea why i have 2 now. Can anyone explain this to me? Are any other bloggers facing this miraculous discovery too?

Note: I am not so lame as to go and photoshop in 2 advertisment, but if you do have the time, click the archive button, scroll down and most probably (if nothing goes wrong), you can see 2 advertisements.

nominees of council elections out!

2008-03-23T14:55:00.002+08:00

i happen to chance upon the list of nominees for council elections, and since it is something rather relevant with stuffs like campaigning and voting coming up, i thought it will be great to share the info in my blog.

I can only applaud the 34th council doing a great job by coming up with this really imba flash file for this year elections. It is really amazing how they actually incorporates the function of an ipod touch/iphone into this year's theme.

thanks for your concern but i am quite fine now after spending a really good, good friday outside. =)

no CC= clean tombstones, but i had great fun as the day progresses. my dad talked to me and he said, "since ah ma so old already, you don't expect me to scold her right? just accept it, she is like that..." yeap, i guess the f*** really spurted out of anger and i think i should be more forgivable. she is still the kind grandmother of mine who brought me up from young. Let the matter rest and life still goes on...

Before i go to bed, i decided to showcast some really funny videos that i have been watching since last year december holidays. YouTube videos really became my everyday source of entertainment, especially 小豬&小鬼娛樂百分百 on Channel U (5pm-6pm). LOL i was surprised that there are also other classmates like lala, weekian and others who also enjoyed this programme too. I assure you, it is really damn funny. (though it is meant to be a entertainment news programme).

Since there is something really great, why not i share it with everyone else? I believe it can make your day! (provided you comprehend chinese... =p) The first video that i will be putting up for today is just a preview to the many other really funny videos that i will be putting up in the future. enjoy the magic show!

Lesson of the Day: Never assume stuffs.

2008-03-21T09:15:00.001+08:00

Assumption is deadly.

You may be wondering what happen to me today... why actually drove me to wake up early in the morning of a public holiday and conclude the lesson of the the day is never to assume stuffs. This isn't a procrastinated post, the TODAY i am referring to is INDEED TODAY. Just in the space of 1 hour plus, i was freaking pissed off.

Our high school principal always mentioned his trademark phrase, "thats an assumption!", and up to today while i am on the other side of the campus, i still missed his really suave way of replying student's bombardment of arguments.

Mr Samuel Lim also likes to say "you can never assume stuffs when you are planning!". Now, i agree that assumption is deadly, and old folks always assume stuff and insisted that their assumption will turn true despite knowing that chances are low... They are really stubborn, and i don't understand why they just don't bother to validate their assumption although what it takes is just a phone call.

I agreed to be dragged out of the bed early in the morning today because i promised my grandmother that i will be following them to (扫墓= clean tombstones).

Well, i thought it will be great to experience how ppl 扫墓 , and since today was a public holiday, why not? Despite facing against all odds (no one believed that i will wake up =p), i crawled out of the bed and my dad fetched us to some relative house. Up to this point, i am completely unaware that i may face the possibility of elimination from survival.

It was until when we reached our destination and my grandmother started grumbling that i can only go if there are 2 cars- and she insisted that there will be despite being aware that there is only one car for the previous few years. So what happen was

we reached there,
saw there is only one car,
they alighted,
and asked my dad to fetch me home ...

i was like

WT(F)!

I always believe that life isn't a game of luck when you assume and predict stuffs that will happen. What's the difference between gambling and life then? Assuming stuffs only make things complicated. It fills up life with question marks, and only when you validate these assumptions, will questions marks be replaced by exclamation marks. Imagine your whole essay be vandalized with red ink question marks if there is nothing but assumptions. Sometimes, getting hard core facts right is very important.

you know i never like to use the word fuck. now you can really understand how pissed i am.

updates on my life.

2008-03-20T23:30:00.000+08:00

haha you may find some resemblance to the post in the class blog, but this is part of the plan to keep my blog alive! haha ok i shall update on some snippets of my life- a rather short post before i doze off on bed. yeap, i have been having irregular sleeping cycles this week because of the disastrous maths test (lol i realize i really screwed it when kh shed some light on the answers in his blog), chemistry test, and other stuffs like BBI learning package.

Anyway first on the list is the class t-shirt design.

personally, i aren't really pleased with the design because it justs didn't meet my expectations... after all it is just a draft and i guessed that the final product will be much much much different from this.

Second is the ILP Video.

Yea, i finally manage to get it up on YouTube, so for those who missed or will like to have a good laugh again, you can watch it now! Hahah so sad that our video isn't featured during the ILP closing ceremony, but we still firmly believe that ours is still the best! =) ENJOY!

Next up is blogskin design.

I have received emails asking me when will next blogskin be launched. Initially i set a date for myself- march holidays. but you know i always don't keep to deadlins =p, so perhaps i can get it out by this long weekend? haha hope so =)

*hint: 2nd blogskin will be really emo*

Lastly, it is the music playlist!

LOL, i guess my blog is moving towards the direction of not only my life, but also designs and good music! Hahaa, a reader from India actually tagged that he enjoyed the songs, especially MY WAY! haha, i was surprised, so is samuel. =) but anyway, there is a good sign that people actually enjoyed the songs updated in my playlist. i will continue to share more really good music that i liked, while trying to squeeze out time, like now, to update on my life.

ok thats all for now.
more to come later....
