In a Moment
In a blitz I ended my stint with my first job.
Right one the dot, one year of working experience and then I enter the ranks of civil service.
Nah.. nothing big.. I am just one step to becoming minister of education.
Speaking of which , in the midst of my 2 week sabbatical, I made my yearly pilgrimage to Ubin. I actually can't remember if I went last year.. did I? Well Facebook photos say I went last year but was not on bike.
So this year, I went full force, with a different crew, and made my biggest contributions to the environment yet. My new pair of custom made Oakleys.
I said it once and I will say it again, to you who took my Oakleys and pocketed it:
DIIEEEE YOU FREAKING CHEAPSKATE PIECE OF MERDE I HOPE YOU TRIP AND HAVE THE OAKLEYS POKE YOUR FACE AND IT GETS STUCK THERE FOR LIFE YOU GREEDY PIG ASS FACE
Now that I have got that out of my hair, I am on my way to replacing my Oakleys and, and also to get a pair of Ray Bans.

While we were at Ubin, Kenvin was so keen to know about our personal army incredible tales, we just went on and on, so much so that we were caught right in the middle of the monsoon.
I gave them a first hand account of my very own encounter with our HAO XIONG DI.
By the time the rain stopped, we were engrossed in the conversation. As we moved off, that must be the times when I left my Oakleys on the bench. URGH!
I said it once and I will say it again, to you who took my Oakleys and pocketed it:
DIIEEEE YOU FREAKING CHEAPSKATE PIECE OF MERDE I HOPE YOU TRIP AND HAVE THE OAKLEYS POKE YOUR FACE AND IT GETS STUCK THERE FOR LIFE YOU GREEDY PIG ASS FACE
In any case, Kenvin's enthusiasm in knowing more about the tales of army, it actually got me thinking about my next career. They say every school has its fair share of creepy tales. I am wondering if I would get to meet any of them?

It was the last year of my of NS days, and I was the personal assistant to my BSM (Band Sergeant Major). My unit is housed in the infamous White House in Nee Soon Camp, which was name the top 3 most haunted building in Singapore.
That afternoon, when all have went to lunch, I was still busy with some memos, so I decided to go to lunch a little later. The guys had the only set of keys to the office passed to me. They left and I was alone in the room.
If you have been through NS, and have done some office work, you would probably know that we used Open Office, and the computers are linked to the printer via a analog dial switch port. That means if computer A wants to print, the switch had to be turned to "A"
I was using "A". The switch was at "A". "B" was off. There was no "C".
Then, the printed started printing my name in full.
"Lim Chen Guo..."
I checked the paper tray to see if this was a prank. Nope? I checked the print job list, Nope. Can't be "B" because it was off.
The printed start printing again.
"Lim Chen Guo...."
And again...
"Lim Chen Guo..."
I picked up my keys, and dashed out of the office. Locked the doors, left the compound.
I came back sometime later when lunchtime was ending to open the office. I stepped in, everything was untouched.
The 3 printed sheets bearing name, was laid on my table neatly. And all the time no one was in the office.

Amusement Park
This is pretty amusing to read:
Original post:
"I am currently 27 years old, a fresh graduate and earning 2.5K a month. I know what it means to wait for more than 3 years just to get a flat. I know how it feels to earn my own money to keep myself alive yet have enough money to give my parents allowance, and prepare for my future.They do not need to go to universal studios, they are fine with a simple meal at home. I know how it feels to have a granny with dementia where attention must be given at all times.
My question to you is, do you know? Do you truly know the needs of the people you are serving? Do you know what it means to be a Singaporean?
If Singaporeans ever give you chance, that is because they believe you will grow under a veteran politician who has served the nation in great ways.
If all else fails, please do consider living life on your own two feet instead of taking tax payers' hard earned money to make irrelevant statements to the public."

"Blame yourself Daogei....... my friend 26 years old earning 5.5k a month( Selling Chicken rice), also know what it means to wait for more than 3 years just to get a flat. He also know how it feels to earn his own money to keep himself alive yet have enough money to give his parents allowance, and prepare for my future. He also know how it feels to have a granny with dementia where attention must be given at all times.
But he didn't complaint, not like you. Although he is fresh graduate, he is humble and mind his own business, I respect him and not you."
"Terrance shut up man.. Dont like his story, don't comment can?"
"Terrance be kind, be gracious, Daogei is only making a statement from his viewpoint from his own experience. Everyone is different, he is different. Not everyone is lucky and capable like your friend earning $5.5K a month selling chicken rice. There are many chicken rice sellers who don't even make enough to feed themselves let alone raise a family. So back to Daogei, I don't see him as complaining and I see him asking a very valid question to young politician-to-be "Do you know.... do you really know" and this is such a simple question yet there's so much depth in it."
"Terence, it is clear Daogei wasnt at all complaining. U obviously have a problem understanding basic English. It would b best if u cut the crap n keep ur opinion to urself if u dont like his statement."
"Lol Terrance,
Your response speaks a lot about you. Let me give it straight to your face since you obviously spare no consideration for what Daogei is going through. It's obvious you are the sort who assumes too much and jumps to conclusion.
Why I say so?
1. Did you ask your friend how much allowance he's givning his parents and how often? Did you ask Daogei then and compare? How would you know if Daogei is not giving more despite the fact he's earning less?
2. Do you know what Daogei means by "attention must be given at all times?" or do you simply assume you know? Dementia is the loss of brain function that affects speech, behaviour, judgement, memory and thoughts. A person with loss of speech + memory + mood swings will certainly require more care than a person with just a loss of memory even though both required attention at all times. So, did you even bother to ask Daogei or do you simply assume your friend's and his granny are "the same"?
3. Your friend is earning 5.5k and Daogei is earning 2.5k which is less than half. You are not even comparing apples with apples and yet you complain Daogei is complaining?
Don't tell me your friend don't complain because everyone does at some point in their life just that you may not be around to hear it; or maybe he does not bother to complain in front of you simply because he knows he'll get no sympathies."
"Just me,
Obviously i have problem understanding basic 'england' because i am not 'Ang Mo'. Don't look down on typical Singaporean like me. You go cut the 'crab', n mind your own business."
"Thomas, a moment ago you were Terence and now you suddenly change your identity to Thomas. Why you have an identity problem? Obviously, your english is not so bad but your replies are so childish. Grow up."
"@Terence/Thomas, I suppose u r now suffering from Demetia urself? Mayb u would like to consider 'BORROWING' $ from ur high income fren to get ur medical problem seen to? Mayb then u would CRAP less or better yet, CRAP NO MORE. As a gesture of goodwill, I will offer to buy u a good dictionary so that u can refer to it when u read others posts n comments to find out the correct meaning b4 u misunderstand their meaning n jump the gun. U'r gona thank me one day as u will in the event also improve on ur vocab n standard of "England"."
"Bro "Demetia"? Wrong spelling."

No honestly, I think "Terrence" has a point. I may not be earning 5.5k a month, so maybe I am not so pro afterall.
WOW! I must say, the greatest entrepreneur nowadays are not those people heading SMEs and MNCs, they are your neighbourhood coffee stall owners.
Later during lunch, you go to your CAI FAN uncle and tell them "YOU HAVE SUCH A SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE"!

What Do I have to Say?
I replied to the post on Yahoo! regarding Tin Pei Ling:

NAH! Here is a photo taken of me when I was visiting the museum. I put it here because I really like it. And no. I do not own Kate Spades, but I own Oakleys. Maybe I should take a Kawaii pose too?
