I want to go retro

Im serious.

I just feel my childhood memories are really precious. I realise I have been thinking backwards everyday after work. I savour the days when I stay in Ang Mo Kio and enjoy every moment in promary school. I would always go to this park with my mum in the evening as a little reward for my stressful day in school. I would always play with my plastic toys and watch TV all day long. I would always look forward to going out with my family to Orchard during the weekends. And this secret place my parents always go behind our flat where there is a coffeeshop that sell baos. My mum and I have to climb up the hills odf stairs , walk across the barren land to get to that coffeshop to get baos. I wish to go back there if get the chance.

Where to find those playgroud that still have sand , those playground that are shaped like a dragon and kids would play hide and seek in the body. Where will I have the chance to enjoy promary school assembly when I get to sit down and read my favourite book until the teacher comes and fetches us to the class. Where would I get the chance to raise my hands and say "I want to go toilet"?

Guess its work stress. Work always bring me back to the adult world. Not time for being a silly kid , ignorant teenager and bochup NSman anymore.

Recently , Mediacorp has released a CD compliation of those old TV show. Really bring my memories back. Just want to go back to where I used to be.

I WANT TO BE RETROMAN!!

Know the world bit by bit

Time seems to pass slowly.

Since Decemeber 2004 till now , I've been idling till now. Seems that everything is back on track.

My Uni semester will start tomorrow officially. So kinda busy now trying to get my serious vibes back.

I met up with a general manager of NCCworldwide.com regarding an IT freelance project he wish to undertake. Though we met the first time , there were a few valuable exchanges of advice he gave.

1)When you are on a job and you been sitting there doing nothing , you have to be careful
2)I prefer getting a freelance to complete my tasks than an employee. I tend to abuse it

That's exactly how people think nowadays. He do have a point there. I will mark down on every point he says. I will try every possible means to make myself as useful as possible.

Played game the whole of afternoon. I already trying to improve my Warcraft 3 strategies now.

I have a date with a vampire

I 've been hibernating!!

Yah , been staying at home reading and revising my Linux texts before going back to work. And trying out new CNY recipes. Managed to make some prawn rolls and pineapple tarts.

Actually pineapple tarts are my second attempt. The first batch doesnt taste so smooth. The pastry tasted like stones. My second batches taste softer .

And also busy leeching the latest HK show . "I HAVE A DATE WITH A VAMPIRE III". Total 47 episodes! gasp...

Oh.. Happy New Year to all the people who are celebrating CNY 2005. Those who wish to come to my house are cordially invited. Just give me a ring if you want to come over.

Bye for now. Just remembered I have a date with a vampire now ... :p

Im on 2 weeks break!!!

Im on holiday!!!!

Just two weeks , i took a break from my job.

Alas!!! Fresh Air For Now

Used up two days for the following activities

Monday (31/01/05) - Went shopping with Ah Pa (Lex) . He;s frenzy over adidas so we went to Adidas in Orchard -(HMV , Taka , Pacific Plaza , Wisma World Of Sport , OG Orchard) and he ended up with a red printed Adidas soccer shirt for $40 bucks.

Today - Went for a fishing break with an army friend , Tianyi in East Coast. Didnt fish for a while so was rather down with luck while he got a grouper and crab. But watching the waves crashing against the beach is a good recharge for my rest.

Got myself an ngage last weekend. Im on the midst of experimenting with the Symbian OS software. This is something Im looking forward to.

I took a bus to Bedok and passed by Ang Mo Kio and saw this park which my mum used to bring me and my sis down when I was young. Got this urge to go and vist the place to feel young again once more.

12 more days to go before Im back for work. Maybe I go visit that park tomorrow.
