Indeed I am a retard. It turns out my netbook didn't go kong on me at all, it just ran out of battery. The worst part was I didn't realize this until today when I was about to bring it to the centre to have it fixed. Luckily I plugged in the power supply just to have it checked one last time, imagine the embarrassment if I were to bring it to the Asus centre and have them correct me "Mr. your netbook is perfectly fine, it just ran out of battery". And to think I went netbook-less for 3 whole weeks. You tell me lol or not haha.
That aside, I have this belief, I always believe that no single soul on Earth should feel or be lonely or unhappy. I mean being alive is a huge thing already. Boy was I wrong, I was struck by this immense loneliness just now out of no where. Like a giant truck crashing into an innocent puppy crossing the road. Lol, bad analogy, but you get the picture? Getting crushed really badly randomly out of no where. I was on my way to da bao mixed rice, with earphones on, then tears flooded my eyes suddenly as I begin my journey to the food court, then I cried like shit for a good 5 minutes. I guess I just felt really really lonely suddenly; and asked myself why am I so pathetic, so alone here, living this life.. Don't I deserve to be happy too? Or I just chose to be unhappy lonely unconsciously? Maybe I'll never find happiness?
Haiz, iRetard emo.
p/s: needs to numb self with work, don't think, don't think, don't think...

我这人...
经常用钱来买教训!
What I mean is, Ialways tend to spend money to learn a lesson.
Allow me to explain. Recently, I've been spending some time trying to find a perfume that suits me cause the job requires one, if not I'll constantly smell of sweat and that is yucky. So one fine day I decided to just step into a random perfume shop and somehow gotpersuaded convinced into getting this 80 dollars bottle of nicesmellingness. That time I thought it was not bad a bargain seeing how they were having sales. 2 weeks later, I stepped into another random perfume-selling shop which was also having a sale (this time is Christmas sales) and saw the same bottle selling for 50 dollars!
Where got such thing one right?!! Such a big difference!!
Lesson learnt, always Google first before doing ANYTHING! Or when it comes to shopping for goods, at least do some research and compare prices before making the purchase!
Haiz, 30 hard earned dollars down the drain. And this is not the first time scenario like this happening to me.

Failed first time perfume buyer
P/s: boy was it difficult to compose a post on the phone. Why phone? Cause my overpriced netbook decided to go kong on me..!

Memories
Lately, many childhood memories started to surface in my thoughts. They remind me of how fortunate I am, that I have lived a truly blessed life thus far. Very well to do in my opinion, not financially, just overally (overall-ly, get it? :P).
When I was young, both my parents worked (even till now), so you could say my childhood was spent alone until my brother came to town for his Primary 1 (he was at hometown earlier). I remember those days how I'd wait for my parents at the balcony, they'll bring back supper or just some random snacks. On those days I was lazy, I'd wait for the sound of gates opening then rushed down to greet them. When my brother came along, we would do this waiting and rushing down the stairs together. Oh, memories. Of course there were many days we fought viciously, usually ended up with him crying XD sorry about that lil' bro, guess that molded you into a tough and independent person now, fighting was fun right? Hehe.
I also remember the younger days when our entire family of four lived in one single room, come to think of it, life was like that until about 5~6 years back when I moved out for my tertiary studies and them moving to the outskirts due to work, pity lil' bro had to be transferred there for secondary schooling.
Back to the younger days when lil' bro wasn't in the picture yet, I remember how we couldn't really afford many things, but my parents still tried to give me the best, maybe that's why how I never felt that I was deprived of anything. Given how both my parents worked in supermarket, my playground after school time those days would by default, be the supermarket (Fajar to be precise, they closed down some years back). I had plenty of things to play with, whether was the fresh goods department with fruit and all those, or the toys and stationary items departments with all sorts of things a kid would ever imagined.
You know how kids these days would be deprived of snacks or fizzy drinks, my bro and I didn't have that restriction, perhaps that explains why we are so not rebellious now. Cause we were simply not deprived of all these, a lot of freedom was given to us.
Our favorite toy back then (before computer became a household necessity lol) was Lego. To buy it is very expensive, Lego's not exactly affordable, so we stole it; we actually got them free, either from the old displayed pieces or faulty boxes. Faulty in the sense that some Lego boxes became incomplete when some pieces were stolen or just random loose pieces. That's how we ended with a box of random Lego pieces, those were fun :D It was until later only we can afford to splurge on toys, Lego boxes, Gundam models, Beast Wars figurines and Gameboy consoles; just to name a few prominent ones. Ooh yes, we used to waste money on Pokemon trading card game too; those were the days!
I believe that's it for now, a visit to memory lane :) If you've read through that chunk of texts, congratulations to you, you now know me a bit better (or at least I would want to think it that way). Here's your reward, my moment-song, named such cause it's one of the few songs I like at this moment:

Think
It seems that I couldn't uphold the promise of 1 post per week, time flies and time doesn't fly. Time flies because 2 weeks passed just like that after my previous post and to think that I've been in Sing a pore for 8 months! Time ticks and tocks regardless of whether I'm ready. Time doesn't fly because there were times I calculate how much $ I need to pay for quitting my job, the 17-month bond turns out to still be a hefty sum despite being pro-rated, 17 months more to go!
I've been thinking a lot lately, about my career, about my future. But it doesn't seem to have a conclusion to every thinking session. Still wondering what to do with this "life" of mine, purpose in life so to speak.
Never have I thought I'd take a plane ride so often in my life, more often than I take a cab come to think of it! I thought I would just have an ordinary office job and work forever to pay for things I can't carry when I leave this world. The second part still holds true unfortunately, that is working forever and earning money.
I tell myself, if I'm not doing this, I would be doing other things (which I may not like as well) for a living. For a living huh, I do wonder what is the purpose of life, sometimes I feel like living is just because I'm not dead. Not that I want to die, but do note that humans die eventually. Where is this cycle taking us? Where are we going, do we need to be there?
Makes no sense I think. Haha. Randomness.
Have a pleasant weekend.
