Sunset Industry

Do you think the Chinese papers is a sunset industry?

I think the Chinese papers in Singapore is not going to survive through the next 20 years. Now, there is XinMin Daily News, Lian He Wan Bao and Lian He Zao Bao. In future, we will most probably be left with Lian He Zao Bao and it will also most probably come together with Straits Times as a complimentary chinese papers. Hahaha.

Given the deteriorating chinese standard of Singaporeans, the younger generations will definitely not buy Chinese papers in future. Now, the main readership for the Chinese papers come from our parents and grandparents' generation. When all our grandparents pass away, we will be just leave with half of our parents' generation. This is because some of our parents are actually english educated.

Pathetic!!!

Just a sudden thought about the Chinese papers. Hahhaa.

Anyway, this is me before work.



Yesh! We are required to wear a tie for work.

Well, I got to admit that i wear this tie to work everyday. Haahhaa. Seriously, no one cares. They are just more concerned about how many temps you can fill everyday. Hahaha.

Once again, you can approach me if you are going for a job!!

Bye!

A New Start

OMG!!! People, I am back!!!

After much anticipation, my blog is back. Haha. My last entry was actually more than a year ago. I don't know why i want to start blogging again but i just feel like writing.

Of course, I got to begin my blog post with a blast.

So friends, my article is published in MyPaper! Woo~~!!!


Actually, the article wasn writen like this. I thought it was edited quite badly. After the editing, i find the article really bad. Nevertheless, I am still glad that my article is able to be published.

Anyway, the article was orginally written like this:

希望远程巴士服务不会被取消

交通部第二部长陈惠华女士在不久前表示本地目前的43个超过25公里的远程巴士服务很有可能会被取消。陈惠华女士表示本地政府正在从以往提供的远程巴士服务逐渐改换成一个“Hub-and-Spoke”的系统。所谓的“Hub-and-Spoke”系统就是随着更多地铁环线的通车,乘客可以乘搭短程巴士到最靠近他们的地铁站,并且乘坐地铁到他们的目的地。此外,陈惠华女士也表示减少远程巴士服务也意味着更可靠的巴士服务。这是因为远程巴士服务因为路程太长,所以无法估计路上的突发状况,因而有着很多的延误。

在听到了这个消息后,我想许多公众应该也和我一样,不希望看到远程巴士服务的中止。我认为拥有更多的地铁环线固然很好,但是远程巴士服务还是不应该被取消。虽然乘搭远程巴士会花费我们更多的时间,但是我们至少可以省下转车的麻烦。而且,乘搭远程巴士时,我们往往在整个车程里都可以舒服且安逸地坐在座位上。这比起在人挤人的地铁里站立好几十分钟来得轻松多了。而且,现在的地铁在繁忙时段时的拥挤程度真的不仅一般。减少或中止远程巴士服务只会迫使更多的人乘搭地铁,把地铁变得更加的拥挤。最后,乘坐远程巴士的车资比起乘坐地铁的车资(抱括转车)来的便宜不少,所以我想这也抵消了远程巴士的较长车程吧。

我相信新加坡政府不断的改善我们的交通系统,目的就是希望国人可以选择以公共交通工具代步,因而减少路上的车辆。这是因为新加坡是个蕞尔小国,我们窄小的公路无法承受太多的车辆。但是,在提供一个快捷且舒适的服务时,我想一个优质的交通系统也应该包括更多元化的服务吧。现在,住在裕廊的我每天都得到大巴窑上班。上班时,我因为不想起得太早,所以会选择比较快捷的地铁服务。但是,下班时,我因为工作了一整天,所以我会选择乘搭远程巴士。所以,我认为远程巴士服务的存在可以让我在考虑了一些外在因素后(如:时间的紧迫,路程的舒适)才选择我会乘坐地铁或巴士。
总而言之,我认为远程巴士服务的提供除了可以让更多的乘客在除了乘搭地铁以外有着另一个选择,也能让本地的交通系统更加得多元化。真的很希望远程巴士服务不会被取消。

Okay, this was actually what i wrote.

Anyway, I am now working in Recruit Express. OMG!!! It's really a very very stressful job till I always have butterflies in my stomach whenever I report for work. I will be really glad if you guys can look for me if you are looking for a job. =)

I will update more about my work soon. Do visit my blog often. Hahah. Bye.

I think i have lost my interest for blogging. Haha.

Anyway, that is not the theme for today's entry!

Just wanna tell you guys that i am just left with 364 days more to ORD. OMG!! Isn that shocking. Haha. Even though there is still a long way to go, but considering the fact that i had endured through 10 mths of tough military life, this proves to be quite a feat!! Haha.

Yay!! I just hope that the remaining year will be a pleasant one for me. Haha.
Haven been blogging lately due a lack of interest in cam whoring. Haha. I guess i am losing self confidence.
Anyway, i was really glad that i was able to do some catch up with many of my friends during chinese new year. Haha.
LAstly, take care guys and see ya soon!!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!! Wow, 2008 has passed us just in the blink of an eye. Without knowing, i am alreadying in the army for more than 8 months. This year, my new year resolutions will be to have a really really clear skin ( This is rather impossible. Haha) and to pass my army life peacefully.

This year, John, Jeron, Mom, Michelle and I decided to book a hotel room and have our very own countdown in a room. Haha.

Mom and I were really afraid that the staff at the hotel will think that we are having a mass orgy party. Hahahaha. Furthermore, we were making lots of noise in that hotel room. Mom kept exclaiming, "不要一直喊啦,等一下人家以为我们在做什么" Hahaha. When we were about to check in, we saw a old man in his 70s accompanied by a china woman in her 30s. Hahaha. I guess they were there just to watch Mediacorp's 台庆剧 《小娘惹》.

Don't worry. We didn do anything indecent!!! Haha.
Okay, let me now show you the pictures that we took during our very own countdown party.



Lots of food. Jeron commented that this is just like the picnics we have been to except for a change in the venue. Haha.

Of course, we had to camwhore. Haha. Anyway, camwhoring is always our love.

Xueting(Mom), Jianrong and Michelle.

Despite having fun, we didn miss a single bit of The Little Nyonya! haha. Mediacorp's Paul Chan is going to love us for that. haha.

Our very spastic pose. Haha. We wanted to show you guys that it was really cold in the hotel room but in the end, it turned out to be like 捉奸在床. Haha.

Camwhoring....

Jeron and me.

Xueting and Me.

The besties.

The 3 handsome guys. Haha.

Okay, it's time to go. Byebye!!!

The Little Nyonya

OMG!!! It has been almost a month since i last blog!! Haha. Hiaz...I need more time!!!

Anyway, have you noticed the title for this entry? Haha. Yesh, it's going to be my review for the drama. Actually, this isn exactly a review la. It's just my personal opinions of that show! Haha.

Have you guys been following the drama? Actually, i am trying hard to follow the drama because this is a 大制作 of Mediacorp and being an avid fan of the entertainment circle, how can i miss this!!! Furthermore, the story of The Little Nyonya is written by 洪荣迪! Nvm if you don't know him. He is the guy who wrote 《出路》,《有福》,《黄金路》 and many of the much more memorable dramas that Mediacorp has produced! Haha. I know you guys will be wondering how in the hell do i get to watch this drama serial when i am in camp. Haha. We do have some free time in the evening on some days la.

OMG!! I know you guys must be exclaiming how lucky i am in the army now!! Fuck you!!! You don't know the pain i went through. Hahaha.

Okay, back to the topic on The Little Nyonya.


If you haven been following the show, i suppose you can leave my blog now because this long entry is going to be just about The Little Nyonya. Haha. But you do follow this show, it's a must to read this!!! Haha.

Seriously, i think that the story is really well written but unfortunately, due to the lack of funding from Mediacorp, there was some parts of the show that left me feeling absurb! I shall now relate them to you!!!

Okay, lets first start from the some minor details of the show. Haha.

1)Can someone explain to me!!! 潘玲玲凭什么演欧萱同父异母的姐妹! OMG!!! 许美珍已经有点让人生气了,还来个潘玲玲!

2) Next, i wonder why characters in the show don't grow old!! YueNiang is already 20 and yet, Apple Hong still looks exactly the same as how she looks like when JuXiangwas still around. Furthermore, Ah Tao also didn age when 向云 looks like she has already lived through the millennium. (I am not mentioning about the part where Felicia Chin has a role to play, i am mentioning about the part where they are still living in the 1950s) Not only so, many other characters also doesn seem to age. Perhaps this is because they are acting the roles of kids from rich families. That is why they can afford to have lots of bird's nest. But what about Ah Tao. She is just a maid!! She must be using water that was used to wash the rice to wash her face!!! (Remember that Sk 2 advertisment! Haha)

Okay, we shall go on to the much more absurb parts of this drama serial!!

First, can someone explain to me how in the hell YueNiang can make her way to her grandma's house!!!! This is so amazing!!! When JuXiang died, she merely passed her daughter a pot!!! Haha!! Yes!! Just a pot!!! Moreover, JuXiang was a mute!! How could she had conveyed the msg to her daughter!! To make things much more unbelievable. YueNiang was in Singapore when both her parents died. However, her grandma was living in Malacca!!! You mean she walked there!! They could have at least shown her hitching a ride from some kind hearted souls that were heading for Malaysia right!!!

Next, when 小日本 was shot dead by the Japanese, YueNiang and her mother was actually fleeing for their lives!! I believe they had already walked quite a distance when JuXIang finally passed away. I wonder how YueNiang,a 10 year old kid, can actually get both the bodies of her dad and mum together when their bodies were like kilometres apart!! She drag her mum's body all the way!! Back to the spot where Dad died!!! Amazing!!!

Worst, there was a scene showing the Japanese digging the graves for YueNiang's dad and mum!! Wooo~~!!! When did the Japanese suddenly evolve into such samaritans!!! At one moment, they kill her dad!! The next moment, they help bury their bodies!! During the Japanese occupation, i thought they even raped young girls!!

Lastly, JuXiang can actually lip read!! Isn this a little too exaggerating!! There were many moments when JuXIang wasn even looking at the lips of the people talking to her and yet, she could gather what they had said. The story could have been made more complete if she was just a mute!!!

Actually, there are still many loop holes but i shall not mention them all because i will have a hard time typing them all out!!

Also, i was reading Paul Chan's blog. ( If you don't know him, Paul Chan is actually a major figure in Mediacorp. Read his blog if you want too. I linked him ) Apparently, 欧萱 and him was rather annoyed with a news article critising 欧萱 playing the role of a mute.

The new report goes like this: 安排欧萱演哑巴 《小娘惹》剧组刻意‘藏拙

Even though the role was created before the crew even audition for anyone but it's so true that 欧萱 acted so much better before she starts to speak!!!




Just look at this!!! OMG!!! I know you don't have the time. Just go straight to the 1.19min!!!!! OMG!!!!!! Listen to how she introduce her character!!!! ARGHH!!! She sound really really really weird. People don't speak like that!!!

欧萱 has a very very wrong misconception about her speech problems! I read from interviews that she thinks that her pronuciation of words is her biggest problem. But this is actually not so!!! 方展发 then has this problem. Haha. The biggest problem with 欧萱 is her intonation of words!!! 阴阳顿挫,阴阳顿挫!!!!!! She is having a major problem with this.

Okay, i think i shall stop here. OMG!!!! I really wrote a lot!! Haha. I will still follow the drama even though i may sound really unpleased because the script is really quite well written. Kudos to 洪荣迪!! Mediacorp would have perished long ago if not for him!!! Imainge 《手足》,《同心圆》 and 《心花朵朵开》 bombarding us everyday!!! Hahaha!!!

Bye!!! Shall blog soon.

A Random Update

Just a random update of my blog because it has been a long time since i last updated my blog.

A random update will of course comes along with random pics. Haha.


Pretty Meiqing webcamming with me. Haha. Glad that she is getting on fine in SuZhou!! Miss ya lots!!!



Jeron and Me. Jeron find this pic ugly but i find it rather okay. Haha.


Last but not least, my PC ord lunch


When will it be my turn? Time really don't fly when you are in the army. 1 year and a few more months to go. Life is terrible!!

Were there times when you felt loss? Haha.

I am feeling loss now. I guess it's most probably due to the army. Or perhaps it's not. I feel that i am not having enough time for myself. It has been a long time since my work was published in the press. My command of the chinese language is deteriorating bit by bit, without me knowing. In the army, life is hard. There are people you detest. There are outfields that one cant avoid going to. There are times when i need my private time but i find myself not getting it because the bunk is shared. Finally, my weekends come. Here i am, spending time alone in my home. In the past, i always look forward to my weekends because we will have gatherings that are filled with so much laughter and joy. But now, everyone has their very own commitments.

Am i an irony? First, i wanted private time. Then here i am grumbling about myself not have enough time with my friends. Haha. But life is an irony itself!! Haha.

I am a little sick and tired of my life.

Nah, don't worry. I won't jump myself into the white tigers' enclousure!

Ha. Emoing is bad!! Esp for my skin. Haha.

Gosh! This is really a random entry of mine. Haha.

Bye. Will update soon.

Someone is leaving for China!!!

Friends, i have some videos to share!!

Sometimes, it's really great to have a friend that can sing so well!! Haha.



This is Meiqing performing 路 at Fuhua's homcoming day. Personally, i think that she did not handle the song very well at the very beginning, but she got better and better.




This is Meiqing performing at 校园superstar!! She sang really well in this competition.




This is her performing at the 3rd round of 校园superstar. Despite the bad audio quality, i am sure all of you will still agree with me that she sang beautifully! Till this very moment, i am still puzzled at the fact that the judeges didn allow her to advance further into the competition!!!


Anyway, why a sudden entry on Meiqing??

This is because she is most probably leaving us for her intern job at SuZhou!!!!

And this time, it's for real! Haha!!

I really hope that i will be able to send her!!! Pls!! Arrange the flight to be on a fri or sat!!! Haha.






Wahhh..We will miss ya!!

Oh yeah, don't forget my presents!!! Haha.

Advices Pls!!

Sorry for the lack of updates!!!


My previous computer is damaged!!! The mother board was burned!!! HAha.


I am now using the new com that i have brought. I need time to retrieve all the date, photos, songs and chinese essays from my previous com before i can churn entries. Haha.


Darn!!! I haven even blog about my birthday!! HAha..


Anyway, i am wondering if i should have my braces on now?!?!


Initially, i wanted to have the braces on only when i am about to ord. However, one of my friends mentioned that i should have it on now since i am in the army now. He mentioned that having braces on make everyone look ugly. Furthermore, the braces will result in my bad pronunciation of words!!!


Darn!!! SEE~~!!!!




Fucking ugly right!!!

However, if i have the braces on now, there will be times when i have to tighten them. Hearing from some of my friends, tightening them will cause extreme pain for the next few days and consuming of solid food is almost impossible! Here, the problem comes!!! I cannot afford to be picky because i will be eating in camp!!!

Hiaz!!!! HOw?!?!

Friends, advices pls!!!!
