Instant Noodle With Cheese?!

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:40:00 +0800

I found out a new way of eating instant noodle. Yesterday, I watched 康熙来了 and the topic of the day was about ‘Supper’. One of the guests said putting cheese into cup noodle would make it taste nicer. I can’t believe that. So, I google-d it and… somebody actually tried it out… From the image above, it melts. Sorry to say, it’s kinda gross.

But being fan of instant noodle, I got to try it out. :P

Maths Fallacy

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:07:00 +0800

My Maths teacher kept saying that he can prove 1 + 1 = 3.

How can that be? “It must be some rocket science”, I thought.

Well, i just found out its called Maths fallacy from Wikipedia. I can ‘prove’ to you. HAHA.

To prove 1 = 0
Let x = 0
x(x - 1) = 0
Divide x both sides: 1(x - 1) = 0/x
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
∴1 = 0 (proved)

But the fact is that 1 != 0 because the 3rd line cannot exist in the first place as zero cannot be divided by zero.

Am I not correct? Anyone.

I’m not feeling well. Body’s aching. Throat’s abit uncomfortable. But still, I went out for shopping (in search for CNY clothes)… HAHA. But the main purpose is to do my passport size photo - to submit my NUS application.

I’m hoping that 2 things will happen tomorrow.
I’m prrrraaaying hard.

1. Wholesaler to reply me with the answers that I want.
2. Ssense.com to reply my message that I’ve just sent. I asked them what is the weight of jeans and the packaging. Cuz I am using Vpost to deliver my jeans to my house. It can really save me alot of money.

And I’m hoping I will accomplish this tomorrow.
1. Call tuition agency.

Ship is not sailing tomorrow - again. My feeling is just like a roller coaster, sad to hear ship sailing, and then delightful when heard sailing is canceled. This roller coaster ride doesn’t end. When will it stop? I am very tired. Luckily I have still got 2 months to ORD… Phew. The 2 months crawl too slowly for me. To some, they might want to cherish the moment in Navy more. For me, no - not at all. I wanna GET OUT.

Enough.

I was thinking of giving tuition now. I have been wanting to start, but I just don’t where to begin. Argh. Maybe Zhihui can help me??? Or Amos? Haha. I just dig out the old secondary textbooks. Let’s revise well, so that I can teach confidently. Hehe… It will be good if I can get an A Math student.

Heard from Desmond that he received SMU matric card. Woo… so fast. How about me? Nope… Only received a love letter from NUS to confirm my place there. Argh… its all the wordy instructions and polices etc.

Friday’s holiday. Really need a proper rest. Guess what, I couldn’t sleep yesterday. I was awake from 11pm to 5am. My insomnia seems to haunt me again. Help!

How to Cook Vegetable?

Firstly, sorry for my bad english. Spent some days in Thailand… so I haven’t been using English for some time. :P

Back from Phuket. A tough sailing. I’m kinda lucky to sail to 3 overseas port in my NS life. Never does a NSF have such a privilege. I think if I had sailed to Taiwan, I would had strike the bingo. But never mind… who bothers anyway. Going to Phuket was not exactly fun compared to Pattaya. Things there are so.. so.. for tourists. I find the city dull. Only the Ang Moh will like this kind of city, drink eat and sleep. That’s why they do everyday right? No wonder so fat.

Luckily, my group of friends there brightened the trip. My first day shore leave was with Mong, Soh, Alan and Jason. They were fun. Soh always brought us to the wrong direction. We nearly got “lost” in a deserted land! Fortunately, Mong - the “leader”, directed us the correct way. Phew~ Probably he has a good instinct, or.. he had been there before?? Jason and me were busying snapping photos. Hey, Jason is really good at photography. The first day shore leave ended with like… 30% of the ship crew drunk.

Jason said “Weirong, remember to wake me up tomorrow” at least 10 times.

My second day shore leave was with Jason most of the time. Talking to him did open my mind. Honestly, I learnt some things from him. We talked everything under the sun. From our pre-enlist life to gossip to science to philosophy to Mayan Calendar.

New iMac On the Desk (via yap wei rong)

25th October 2009

Back home. It was a busy Saturday. First, my brother and I went to Funan to look for the new 21.5 inch imac. My brother sms-ed me the day before that he wanted an imac; and I agreed. I would like to spend 800 bucks on this machine. A barely tough decision! Unfortunately, when we got there, we realise that they were selling the old 24 inch imac. Not the one that we want! I was really unhappy to spend my morning away like that! Oh yar, I just went to Apple website and it says “Pending Agency Approval”. Shit. I should have seen it earlier. Never mind…

My dad then lead me to his office to solve wireless internet connection problem on his computer. It was a piece of cake.

In the evening, it was my dad’s birthday celebration at a Chinese restaurant. We hadn’t celebrated birthday in a Chinese restaurant for a long time. Usually we have international buffet or japanese meal. I enjoyed the Shark’s fin soup and lobster…

Then we headed to Tangs at the Orchard. Initially, the plan was to look for Nixon watches to console myself since I couldn’t buy the imac. Opps… Hehe… But the staff were very unfriendly and unhelpful! They ignored me when I stood there for some time. They even talked among themselves. So, I walked away… I walked past….
Fred Perry - Nope… I promise myself not to by another Fred Perry as everyone owns one..
Lacoste - The staff was not around. Another weird booth.
FCUK - Too big. I don’t like.
Lastly, I walked to Superdry booth. The polo tee is super cool. The cutting super-ly fits me! It would be a crime not to buy. Haha… It costs super high too.

Back from Tioman! Finally… the miserable 12 days sailing. If I had not gone for shore leave there, I would have been onboard for 12 DAYS STRAIGHT! Mind you, 12 days in the confined space is damn boring. OK, enough of that. Next two weeks, I will be at Phuket. Certainly it will be alot fun than Tioman and alot more photos to take!

Though ORD-ing soon, I still learnt a number of things during this trip. The new NAV OJT pushed me out of my ‘comfort zone’ to be his so-called mentor. It really transformed me from a CPL with ‘heck-care’ attitude to a CPL with much more responsibility. My reporting improved and I provided crucial information that the OOW wanted. I also got the chance to help NO to do small boat clearance. (It was not easy at all!) This trip also reaffirmed to me that I am the best junior NAV(I don’t care what others say, but I feel its really a fact! And I deserve CFC. HA!)

Fun…. But, tiring - mentally.

Sailling Again... (m)

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 07:12:00 +0800

Sailing… again. This time to tioman. Will be back on 22nd. Probably you still can still catch me on twitter on 17th. Urm… depends. Haha. Bye!

4 Months 25 days to ORD.

Just added new tracks to my itunes. It has been still for some time. Tracks added are: Cafe Lounge Choco Banana Latte Album, 卢广仲 - “Live in TICC”, 吳金黛 - “Over The Way”, Maps - “You Don’t Know Her Name”. Now i’m listening to 林依晨 ‘s new album 幸福遇见. I don’t expect anything high on her album since she is an actress. Anyway, the album is alright lah. But, I prefer her to sing sad song.

Off to work tomorrow!

First Time on Motorbike

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:16:00 +0800

Yesterday, CEO asked me to help him do the pamphlet for Family Day. I agreed. It was quite rush cuz we managed to discuss the details only in the afternoon. We talked about the details and design for nearly 2 hours! I was worried I couldn’t submit on time. Worse thing was that he needed the draft by that night.

So practically, I only had 5 hours if I reached home by 5pm. I was quite desperate to see if anyone could send me to any nearest MRT station. Luckily and unluckily Chief Chef was going home that time - by motorbike. I have never sat on a motorbike before! The funny thing was that I even needed his help wearing the helmet. Haha… During the whole ride, my eyes kept closing; don’t know why those small particles keep on entering my eyes… I clutched his shoulders hardly, thinking that I may slip off anytime. Chief Chef calmed me down “不要紧张”！How can I be calm? This is my first time afterall!

Lending Money... A N-O FOR ME.

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:32:00 +0800

A friend of mine suddenly popped up from Facebook IM. He said “Hey wei rong you there?” I was quite shocked to see my primary school friend starting a conversation with me after a long time. I knew something is not correct.

“yeap?” I asked.

“Can you lend me money. I will return…” blah blah.

I couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. I immediately turned him down in a polite manner, “Sorry. I can’t lend you money. You can ask from other people.”

“Sorry again. Night”, I quickly added so as to prevent him from begging further. It’s as good as saying “Don’t say another word. Conversation closed”. I couldn’t be bothered to entertain him.

Topic of the day: Why does he need the money so badly? I wonder why does he need so much money for. To buy more books, to save up for further studies?? To pay for hospital bills? Don’t bull shit. No one would ever beg money for these kind of things. He must have lost all his money through gambling, smoking, drinking, loans… and whatever bad activities you can think of.

I am not here to lecture anyone. But I give a very clear message to everyone that I don’t lend money. Never.

Why? Reason #1: You created a trouble for yourself. I will not clean up your mess - again I have no interest in that. Reason #2: If lending money can solve your problem effectively, then poverty would have already ended. Reason #3: Borrowing money is a form of bad habit. If you have no money, then don’t spend; easy as that. Obviously, some people just want to carry LV bag with no wallet inside; again I don’t give a damn.

If you think I am a bastard by not lending you money, you can continue to think that way. Take note that those who lend you money are not doing you a favor AT ALL. You will keep on asking for money another day and another day…

Back from batam! And now to work… Haha. The batam trip with nav department was fantastic. I did alot of things there for the FIRST time, including having a seafood feast that cost 1 million rupiah! (actually not much, just approx 150 dollar…)

Saturday, I went to central library with my brother to borrow Java books. Not surprisingly, it has been a long time I’ve borrowed books; don’t say reading. Then, we dropped by Cold Storage to search for plum liqueur, which is called Umeshu. We bought 2 small bottles as if we knew how to drink it. But anyway, we drank it chilled. It doesn’t taste strong and it’s sweet. We relaxed onto the couch, turned on the aircon… Probably a cheap way to chill out.

Almost there? Not yet.
