ahhh 疲れた。。。 that's the feeling i've been having this whole weekthis week didnt start off too well... sick for 2 days in a row, only to return to alot of mundane work @ office. apparently this few weeks there's some new ppl being posted... private space getting a tad smaller lol.then there's this thing, i shall call it 'OT' b4 i put a disclaimer somewhr lol, on friday. me daniel and siulun had to navigate ard the town area for weird weird addresses. i was holding the map and trying to help daniel reach places i've nvr been to b4. Omg and most of them were private houses whose locations dont exist on street directories. So we 3 had a whole evening of stupid wrong addresses, stupid traffic & stupid dogs. imagine that i've to do it again on Tuesday. Zzzfortunately today is better. LUCKY. as usual japanese lessons in afternoon. i love it when i learn more vocab. but no-one to practise with after lessons. ahh anyone?? and so went to orchard>clarke quay to eat with jc peeps. 5 ppl turned up, hm not bad? haha but the Marutama Ramen @ Central, which my sensei recommended is really 美味しい！esp. the soup base & and the omelette thing, ppl pls try it. 'Nuff said. hhaha and so we walked along clarke quay, jus nice to catch the fireworks from marina bay. okie, it's not v impressive, but it did wow-ed us at times. we all thought it was more of smoke fest than fireworks celebrations... i think the indonesia haze isnt as serious as tht lol. then we took to drinking along Clarke quay? haha its like i nvr drank b4 lah, so i ordered this Long Island Iced Tea, which is supposed to be v light on alcohol. but still... i turned red as hell, even my eyes turn bloodshot. Strong heart ehh?? haha..Labels: Updates

Courtesy of alvin, here's a little riddle to test ur logic & reasoning skills. claimed that it's created by albert einstein, and only the smartest 2% of the population can solve it, but dont be disheartened if u cant. haha...
- In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.
- In each house lives a person of different nationality
- These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
Einstein's riddle is: Who owns the fish?
Necessary clues:
1. The British man lives in a red house.
2. The Swedish man keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Danish man drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.

8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.

ahhh havent been updating in weeks. Not that work's REALLY busy. Just doing the usual work, the usual duties, as usual. I was just in a kind of 'i-have-already-blogged-in-my-head-so-i'm-lazy-to-blog-in-words' mood. Lol i think many long-time bloggers would hav this habit bah. And here i am blogging, as the backgrd musics of the live NDP telecast echoed into my rm. been wanting to write this for days, that so much had happened in the past one yr. for those not in the know, this day last yr i was also watching the NDP, but outside my ward at the TV lounge. in a wheelchair lol. a few days back i was at a driving centre, grimacing in pain as i lay helpless on the tarmac road. I knocked myself over road kerb while learning to ride my bike... After exhaustive examinations, i was found with internal bleeding in my spleen. so i had to take e pain and went ahead with the op. the first few hrs in the hospital were the most... 难熬. After the op, found myself literally drifting in and out of consciousness in an ICU ward. with my parents and relatives and friends watching over me. i felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness; my family had to help me with everything, while i couldnt do anything but to rest. Truly those were the very trying moments. But i didnt expect sth worse to happen in the months that followed..After my mc, returned to my unit. when my nightmare started. i started feeling very detached frm my bunkmates and almost everyone in the unit. couldnt slp well either, always feeling inferior to the others because of my accident. all e while i knew it was my thoughts influencing my mood swings, but i just couldnt control it. And eventually i lost it i think. i started to hate returning to camp, and was always preoccupied with suicidal thoughts. always crying out of no reason. i duno, but a question kept pounding my head: 'What am i living for, since all humans die anyway?' And on it went, my situation spiralled out of control, with me even attempting suicide. I swear upon my life now it was the stupidest thing i, or anyone, shld do. i thought i totally broke my parents' hearts. since then i popped in and out of psychiatric wards, living each day as though it was a void, just sucking hope out of my life. Neither medication nor counselling knocked any sense into me at that time, for a long time. 'Cause i kept avoiding the obvious problems. A long time before i decided to snap out of my breakdowns. I guessed my family gave me most of what i needed, to leave all the wreckage i've made behind. I can never thank them enough. Even now as i blog down all this, 我还是心有余悸。sometimes the crippling fears i used to experience still creeps up on me, as i try to dismiss them. However, i think i've learnt some valuable lessons out of these few months of hiatus, and know that there're still people out there whom are still important to me, important enough for me to still embrace optimism. 本とに、ありがとう！Labels: Updates
