bad influence
I am seriously sorry that I have misuse the trust given to me by my juniors in this Camp Embed. I seriously had no idea that my actions and words have caused so much unhappiness among juniors. I have nothing else but Sorry to say and I will never ever do it again.

Da Jie episode 1

This is a picture of my NYPSU senior, Chak Hui Ping and ME.
Much known to many of us, she has been a Friendly, Understanding, Caring, Kind, Enthusiatic and Reasonable senior. I am GREATLY indebted to her as she gave me my first event out of nowhere. Thanks to her too, she has set up a few challenges and tasks for me so that I would mature to be a better man. Although these challenges put my second year's life into a jeopardy, but now, I feel more positive while being sadistic and tormented. She has also invented an unique way of transmitting information into her peers' head physically, effective and efficiently.
Gentlemen, being such a wonderful vintage product, she is now currently offered through the usuage of a bidding system at http://www.ebay.com/defective+product=HUIPING/ . Each bid is 25.000 000 000 rupiah. Reachargable batteries are included. The winning bidder would also stand to win himself a XIAO BAI which is an excellent complimentary product to go along with Hui Ping. (Promotion will last till 10 of January 1965)

My birthday

I haven't got hold of all the pictures yet, but this is a picture of my brothers and me.
I am damn touched by my two sisters, Jet and Grace. My elder sis didn't even think twice when I asked her to attend my bdae with my friends. In addition, she bought finger food for all my friends. I am seriously touched. I can't help but cry immediately, I am crying while type all these. My little sister gave me a little phone accessory of the boy who pee to save his country, forgot what is its name. I love my sisters. I feel guilty now.
I am damn touched that my best brothers from my secondary school, Fuhua secondary 4E of 2003. They came all the way down from the west area to say "hi." They are Wei liang, Eric Soh, Michelle, Alex and Jason. They gave me a wallet and some Naruto figurines. The presents aside; I am damn happy just to see them.
I don't really know who bought the dumb bells for me, but I am seriously stunned. I hurt my back while receiving the dumb bells. Thank you, JIN HUI, Sri, Siti, Sze Kee, Jean, Zara, Candice, Jie Ying, Hui Ying, Ken Ken, Stacey, Grace and Asilah. Including my best pals from Union, I was damn happy to see Yong Siang, Wei Siang, Wei Ming, Kelvin, Lucaz, Alex, Leonard and Eddie to be here. What else can I ask for? Sorry, alert me if I miss out any names.
My best brothers Clement and David along with Alex (maybe more people) gave me a Nike dry-fit t-shirt and basket ball pants. Thinking of these, I cried another 5 minutes. *salute*
The senior gang turn up. They are Christine, Hui Ping, Gerlyn, Lee Hui, Alan, Wei Ming, Ming Wei, Chi Ho and Roy. They gave me a superman shirt which looks stunning on me, although I already am.
This was one of the toughest blog, I cried my way through this. I know this has completely destroyed the tough guy image. The only regret was that I didn't take pictures perhaps I was too busy to realize that. Please let me know if I left any names out and sorry if I did.

My Birthday
This is the first time I am not posting any pictures along. Sorry dudes, Kinda lack of the feeling to do post any pictures up.

Why? I may have alot of brothers and sisters around me, a network that is surprising big (even to me), but I always have this lonely feeling. I don't know why.
2) Forgiveness for being such a bastard.

Taiwan

This is a picture of me when I was in Taiwan. The guy at the utmost left is Joseph, a guy I know from the trip. The middle guy is just a soldier who has just finished his guard duty. By now anyone should have notice that their helmet is damn SHINY!!! It is so incredible to even wear that. It is so shiny that I cant help but keep looking at it. Their soldiers are very cool too. They march like horses and move like robots suffering from rust.
Taiwan is definitely a fun place. It seems that our media likes to make it sound so messy due to the political issues. However, judging from a relative who has just came back from Taiwan told me that it is still quite stable. I will go to Taiwan again sometime soon. It is a very fun place.

Car inspection

This picture shows me carrying my cousin's son, Yong Jie.
During my days in Vicom, I learn alot of un-related to business stuff. Be it locations of thai discos, singapore national service biggest cock ups and even which Buddha to pray to first when you enter the temple. The inspectors also created a lot of funny tage lines of the car company names, such as
Twice Overhaul Yearly Or Throw Aaway (Toyota)
Hold On N Do Again (Honda)
Never Trust Union Chief (NTUC)
First/Failed In All Test (FIAT)
Best Man Wins/ Be My Wife (BMW)
Cancer Society in India (CSI)
Overhauling Price Especially Low (OPEL)
Very Interested Collecting of Money (VICOM)
I seriously learn a lot of rubbish stuff there, but there are also times I really enjoyed myself as the inspectors like to entertain us.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

This is Eddie and me during NYPSU commissioning 2006. Eddie is a nice guy that likes acting cute and never really shows his true emotions even when he is shy, embarrassed or even when he is sad. For my female friends out there, he is available at a very reasonable price of ONLY 5 RUPIAH!!!. Please expect MULFUNCTIONS as this product may go haywire at times. Contact me at any way possible, while stock lasts. (batteries not included)
I learn this very important thing while I was witnessing a power struggle in an organisation. It is not about get praises by doing things right, it is about getting ourselves wounded and learning from the mistakes we made. Never be afraid of making a mistake in the process. What is important is that at the end of the day, we learn our mistakes and make some new friends.

Mid-Autumn festival aka "mooncake" festival

This is a picture of my brothers and me. We celebrated Eric (The one in orange)aka Erica's bdae at a canal behind our secondary school, Fuhua sec. It was a bloody hazy place to eat a cake but it was still fun to have brothers around.
Behind Eric is Wei Liang aka Winnie. Next to Wei Liang is Ming Shi aka Michelle. Next to Ming Shi is me, aka wendy and the biggest face in front is alex who has yet to get a feminine name.
They are all the best classmates/Brothers I ever had since secondary 3. And to add on, we are all very lame people. Although it doesn't seems like it, but I am the youngest among them.

IMF and Polyforum

This is a picture of Yong Siang and me during our day of commissioning.
Events are not all about getting things done, they are also about making friends. From these two events, I have experienced great friendship with other clubs. Known to many, the IMF world bank conference in Singapore was a very massive project. Thus, many of us poly students were mobilise to be BUS HOSTS! We all know it is a nicer term for tour guides and it is a rubbish job; however, this was one of the most memorable events I have in NYP. I stayed overnight in school for 5 nights just for this event and woke up around 5am each day to get ready; but I reall made new friends from this event.
They are none other than wushu club members of NYP. We all share a similar mentality just that our interests are in a different direction. I am not sure if I spell their name correctly but they are Chun Long, Perlin and Anthony. Ah Long looks just like any uncle at the coffee shop, but he's an magician in practise and laugh damn loudly. Perlin is a tiny cute girl who comes from a family of vegetarians, and has this really scary voice. Anthony is this old guy who looks young and likes buying breakfast for Clement and me. They are a bunch of nice and noisy people.
Theother event was the polyforum. I am absolutely disgusted by the way RP planned this event, RP = Retarded/Rubbish Poly. However, it was through this event I met a few friends from Chinese Orchestra of NYP. They are another bunch of funky people who have different interest but similar mentality. They are Jacqueline, He Qiang, Wei Lin and Alex. Almost everynight after polyforum, we would meet up and gossip. It is almost like an unofficial CO and SU meeting.
I seriously won't mind another few of these rubbish events after my IPP.

Getting Rusty

Both my body and verbal skills are getting rusty. Its time to trained up my body and get back in form. Lately, I have also been quite "hold back" when I am shooting someone verbally, I have lost the power of killing one with my words. Think it is also about time to find one sacrifice and scold him or her to trained back my skills. hahaz. We live in a cruel world, don't we?

Attachment days and sexism.
I am currently attached to Vicom Car Inspection Centre to do market research. It sounds ridiculous as what does a Retail & Travel student got to do with market research aka surveying? I have been doing these surveying thingy for SBM of NYP for the pass few years. Now, I am going to do it again?!?! Oh my god.
Thank god the people there smiles; although I am not really sure whether they are faking the smiles or smiling genuinely. Hmmz, I think I have to tolerate all the way through till the end of this attachment. I seriously hope that I would be still mentally sound and alive at the end of this attachment.
Lately, I have been receiving mails of sexism. I would not disclose any information about this sender, but I hope she really wakes up and realise that she needs another GIRL DESPERATELY.
I am seriously wondering how much juniors in student union survive. Currently, from what I have been observing; they have around 70% luck and about 20% skill and 10% hardwork. Thous shall not make comments about thy new positionings, but I hope they will do their best in their future endeavors in Union while balancing with their academic work.

My sis graduation

This photo was taken on Sunday in which my sister dragged the whole family to NUS to take her graduation photos. It was a very comfortable Sunday morning whereby I know that I can sleep for another 3 or 4 hours longer, but then, I was dragged out of the house somehow.
Upon the arrival at NUS, we started taking photos besides a stairway at this cultural centre in NUS. Next we moved on to the flowers and grass outside the cultural centre. Soon the family was divided into two parts whereby one part is busy taking photos with my sister, whereas the other part was busy entertaining my cousin's son, a toddler, Yong Jie. He is very cute when he laughs or smiles.

The SHOCKING truth
My DAD ask me to use MARTELL to BATHE?!?!? I was thinking, "wow, that's so cool but so, ermz, spendthrift?" I was so shocked he said that but I was even more surprised when I learnt that my elder sister and I used up a bottle of MARTELL to wash our HAIR before. It started with my elder sister followed by me and we eventually used up the whole bottle during my elder sister's upper primary days. I can't believe this, WHY DIDN'T I DRINK IT THEN???
My mom told me that I sleepwalk frequently when I was young, thus, she would stay outside my door to make sure that I wouldn't sleepwalk in the middle of the night. There was this time whereby I sleepwalk in the middle of the night, from I heard from my mom, she said that I packed my bag, brush my teeth and even BATHE!!! I can actually sleep through all of that? I am simply amazed that I this history. I seriously wonder what other stunts have I done before in my sleep.

Deep thoughts
Lately I have been thinking, "Damien, you need a girlfriend. You can't stand being alone." But then when I think further, I ask myself ,"How am I going to keep this girlfriend? Will she run away from me?"
It is human nature to seek to have a certain "want" or "need", but once you possess it, you will be afraid of losing it. I am starting to think I am not matured enough in terms of my mentality. There's just too much for me to learn and many other processes I have yet to go through.
I have come out with a quote saying ,"you can lose your faith, your courage, your money, but you musn't lose yourself." Its really pathetic not having a map of where you are and where you are heading towards.
Going through all these thoughts, I realized that I have two major weaknesses. Of them, one is that I am indecisive; I can't really make up my mind on what I want. Theother would be that I can't control my thoughts. I am unable to direct my thoughts towards something. These weaknesses are very fatal for a business student to possess.

K box session

This is one of my family photos. It looks very blur as I use a camera to take a picture of the original photo.
Starting from the extreme left to right: you could see my elder sister, Jet. She looks more presentable now (trust me). She used to look older than me, but somehow things change when I enter my secondary 3 life.
Next is my mom, Mdm Tan carrying my little sister. My mom is a great cook equipped with general knowledge of the household Dos and Don'ts. My little sister, Grace now looks skinnier but a lot taller. She used to be so naive and cute, but she somehow managed to grow a "dark side" during the recent years when we moved to Hougang. She has became an irritating monster who knows how to play the "Gu Zheng." ("Gu Zheng" is a Chinese instrument that has a lot of strings and is played using your fingers.)
Next is my Dad, Mr. Teong. My relatives told me that I inherited his looks. I have to agree to a certain extent as he does look handsome (that means so do I). However he has aged a lot compared to the period of time this photo was taken. By the way, my Dad is a great gambler but I am nowhere near his standards.
Next is me. I used to look very naive, blur but obedient; however, looks can be deceiving. Moreover, I have matured into something that looks entirely different from that time. I believe most of us would agree to the fact that my face looks entirely different.
In the middle is my father's mother, my Granny. I don't really share much memories with her; but I do know that my Dad learnt gambling from her. I heard she was a queen of gamblers; but, that is also where all my family debts comes from.
It has been a long time since we had our last K Box session.
Together with Candice, Jean and Eddie, we went to Hougang Plaza's K Box today. It was tiring dragging ourselves there, but I am sure we had a great time, although Eddie's loud hailing voice isn't easy to tolerate. Accompanied by some static sounds from the lousy mic, Eddie definitely won the most irritating voice of the year. However, I must admit that I had a great time laughing at him.
During that few hours in the K Box, it did dragged me away from my projects. It was definitely worth my 14 dollars for that 3 hours screaming and shouting in that enclosed area.
I am going for another game of basketball tomorrow, However, I am not sure if my body can withstand my vigorous movements in the court.
Let us all work hard towards our goals.

A broken body

A picture of me at East Coast Park attending a BBQ organized by Wan Ting for the Gunung Tahan team. It was quite fun, we have a lot of food. However, the taxi fare on that day was $30.10 due to midnight charge.
I had this basketball match on last Friday. The matched I had were just fantastic. They are among the best games I have so far. I managed to picture some moves and stunts which I would be able to do in the future.
However, the adverse effects of these games were pretty painful as I hurt my back and every muscle in my legs. These injuries have been haunting me for the past 2 years. It is like a long-term liability on my body, a physical limitation.
With an additional skin irritation, I think I am going to break down soon.
I am just eager to find out how long more can this body goes on.
Body status: painful shoulders, haunting backache, dying thigh muscles, weak knee, useless ankles and a bunch of brittle bones.

One thousand reasons to be sad.

This picture was taken around 3 years ago. My mom was quite enthusiastic when the MC asks the crowd to help their son or daughter to change their ranks.
I was singing this "One thousand reason to be sad" while walking to the kitchen. Then my mom told me this ,"no money, not enough money, no girlfriend, all these really can add up to a thousand." That was very sarcastic of her to say those, but I feel that I would say something like that to my son if he was singing that song in front of me.
My mom is a sarcastic woman that can be a hypocrite at times. An example would be that she portrays a very nice image to my nonsensical paternal side of my family who are all Malaysians, but when they are gone, she would tell me a lot of bad stuff about them.
My elder sister is a human that is annoying, irritating and have the desire to kill anyone with her words. My younger is young at an age of 12 picking up a skill, "irritating people".
My Dad is a stubborn man powered by anger. My dad is a package deal, he has a strict and stern face but is playful when playing with toddlers; typically those type that has a hard exterior that is soft inside.
So here is the question, "what am I"?
I am stubborn at times, a hypocrite in nature and surrounded by an aura of anger and sarcasm; but I am starting to feel that it's kinda alright to have these characteristics in me. I am who I am, there's no shame having characteristics that resemble my family.
My family rocks.

Gangster Ethics: Rule no. 1

Rating: M18
Disclaimer: The following quotes and phrases originated from the author and his friends, the author will not be held for any responsibility if the readers were to turn violent or have any mishaps after reading.
Gangster Ethics: Rule No. 1
Destroy your opponent completely.
Allowing your opponent to live is both a disgrace for him and for you. Do not, at any time despise or belittle your opponent. Face each battle with a mentality that there is no turning back and you must only win. Always remember: the battlefield is a world of the unknown, anything can happen.
Destroying the enemy completely would refer to causing destruction to both your opponent mentality and physique to an extent whereby he would no longer be post a threat to you. However, this is only theoretical, it is totally impossible to destroy him completely unless you kill him. That is an unwise action to take unless you live in a corrupted country.
Please take note that our motive is not to kill him, but to destroy him to an extent that he is unable to retaliate.
There used to be this mentality that,"as long as the mountain lives, there would be wood and trees."
However, I change that quote to fit the modern society,"the moment you raise your offensive against me, you must make sure I am completely destroyed. As long I have one last breath, I would bring you down with me."
Gangster Ethics

This is a picture of Major Johnny, an NCC major and mentor with me, a freshman who just graduated from the 47th Cadet Lieutenant (CLT) Course. Major Johnny is a very nice guy who gives people courage and confidence by giving a very generous smile like a buddha.
Lately, I am having this desire to write this book called the "Gangster Ethics". If you look back at the 60s or 70s, you would see a bunch of gangsters fighting another bunch of gangsters. A man to man fight, a battle of the dumb but courageous and strong.
Look at our gangsters today; they are a bunch of disgraceful lot. Fancy beating up 1 person using a whole gang. We don't need a civil servant from the Ministry of Manpower to tell that bunch of gangsters that they are wasting manpower. Nor do we need a pirmary school teacher to tell you that, that is bullying? Its nothing more than a bunch of cowardy rats attacking a sick cat.
Aw manz, what has happen to all the fighting spirit that was around in those olden days? I happen to come across a conflict between a friend I met for a day and a gangster without any common sense.
Here's the story:
We (Clement, David and Edwin) happened to be waiting at this restaurant at Ang Mo Kio Jubilee as we are game masters (Camp C) for this particular game and have to stay there throughout the day. Then, this gangster came into the restaurant and poured his ice lemon tea onto this friend ,Ferdy who was sitting with 3 toher girls at the table beside us. Ferdy was really stunt and shocked and had no idea know how to react.
The Gangster (speaking in horrendous english) says ,"You come out, I want to talk to you."
Ferdy who was still shocked, replied ,"Orh."
Outside the cafeteria, the gangster confronted Ferdy ,"What is your intention of looking at me?"
My first reaction to his confrontation was ," Is this guy GAY?" Here's the idiotic perception, Ferdy, a guy surrounded by 3 average looking girls is LOOKING AT A GUY???? GIMME A BREAK!!! UTTERLY RUBBISH!
That was how I gained my inspiration to start writing this book of quotes ,"Gangster Ethics." It mainly aims to provide gangsters eductaion on common sense and logic, but you can read it purely for entertainment. I have started writing some quotes despite knowing that gangsters read nothing else but lottery results and soccer news.

More birds, More luck.

This is a picture of me when I was in Taiwan. I was lying down on a stone bench in this Taiwanese "science centre." Its quite a cool place though, we managed to come across giant squids and other interesting structures. Taiwan is definitely a great place for tourists.
I am in the middle of this dilemma that I may have to drop Poly Forum for my Overseas Industrial Placement Program in India. It is quite hard for me to find Janette again and tell her that I am not going for Poly Forum. There is an 90% chance that she will kill me. If she kills me, I am gonna lose a testimonial from Mr. Wee. Oh man, I am trapped in the middle of a balance. I am gonna buy some birds and let them out of my house. I definitely need some luck for the upcoming few weeks. As the saying goes,"more birds, more luck."
I am having this very relaxing mindset for the past few days eventhough I have to face that dilemma, writing the NYAA journals and doing projects. I think I am starting to accept the fact that no matter how much planning I do, I will still face some last minute work. I know that this is a wrong mindset, but I am gonna work this way out.
And yar, I need to control the amount of vulgarities coming out from my mouth. Thus, if I ever blurp out a vulgarity, slap me.

Getting sick optimistically

Okay people, I think I am getting sick and weak. I think this was because I donated blood on Wednesday. Immediately after the blood donation, I went to do my NAPFA training with Robin.
Just after two and a half rounds around the stadium, I went to the gents to take a pee. OH MY GOD, I fainted in the toilet and by the time I realized, I was on the floor knocking my head against the wall. I stood up immediately and wash my hands, and the people around me are like:"is this guy nuts?” To prevent further misunderstanding, I told them:"Sorry, I just finished donating my blood." Their expressions are like :"Oh, I see. This guy is still normal." Along the way up to the stadium, I almost fainted a few times as I was very giddy and a bit unconscious. I had to rest a few times before reaching the stadium. My immediate answer to Robin was something like:"Hey Robin, I think I am dying. I am officially giddy."
Robin is like my big brother in NAPFA training. Thank god he was there, if it wasn't for him, I fear that no one could be there to do training.
Lesson learnt: Never over estimate yourself and at the same time don't exercise after donating blood.
However after the NAPFA training, I went to eat this special watermelon in Bedok. I was also carrying this big box of Milo with me. I was going to collapse if it isn't for Clement, Roy and Edwin who had helped me carries the box of Milo.
After taking a long journey home on Bus 87, I found strength to lift the Milo home. At home, I bathe, had dinner and collapsed on my bed immediately. It was really a day to remember as I could not imagined what could have happened to me without my brothers.
To my brothers: Thanks.
However, my health has weakened a lot for the past few days. I seriously need to take care of myself as there's still a long way before the term break and there are a lot of projects coming up soon. With this, I am signing off.

Going to a busy life again

Yups, this is Damien here. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have finally completed my proposal for my report writing module. and YES! Both the camps are finally over, Camp Infinite and Camp C. They were both tiring and exhausting camps, couldn't have imagine how I survived through the two camps.
Camp Infinite was more tiring as I helped more and was more concerned about the proceedings of the camp. Camp C, on the other hand was much more relaxing as I enjoyed myself with the food, stayed overnight in sports club room and even played Soul Calibur with David on PS2, it was very surprising that I won David. Life in Camp C is as good as life in chalet with Clement, Edwin and David entertaining me.
I get to know a few more friends through some simple chit-chat sessions. There was this funny part during the camp where we had to go to Ang Mo Kio Central to play this game call the "food chain." Halfway through, this game, "Ferdy" from PALS got into trouble with this gangster who happens to be standing outside the restaurant we were in at Jubilee on level 2.
Never mind how the case got closed, we all end up at NTUC to buy 4 Digits. It was too happening that we felt it would be cool to try out our luck. Yupz, and a bunch of newbies were seen at the Singapore Pools. The funniest part is when we ask the aunty next to us how to buy 4D. That was awefully crap, but fun.
Camp C ended noisily at Pizza hut in Ang Mo Kio. I taught the freshies a few new games and they enjoyed themselves, which gives me a strong sense of satisfaction. And as we can all expected, we create alot of noise for the staff and the surroundings in Pizza Hut. You could see the relieve faces of the staff when we said that we were leaving.
All in all, let's give a pat on our back and say ,"Well done, time to take a break."

Camp Infinite

Disclaimer:
Hi, I am doing this blog while being in Camp Infinite at around 4am in the morning, so pardon my language if it's a little bit alien. Kinda tired down here.
I have learned something unique that it is also important to have enemies. A reason would be that only enemies in this world would tell you the honest truth, they won't hold back on what they are going to say. Only by facing your enemies then would one grow stronger in mentality.
Okay people, enough of enemies. I felt that I am starting to have a very carefree attitude. I have learnt that what I am saying to my peers and juniors would be that is for their own good. I hope that they would accept what I am saying as at the end of the day, I won't lose anything. But then again, never let one's comments and opinions affect your decision. I ain't working, I ain't doing any events, I am just a "damien" walking down this street and trying to put at least some effort into my studies. Thats all. Just a plain old simple damien.
Now to my studies, I am not really having fun at my tutorials as I would stress myself to do the tutorials before hand. Although its good to do tutorials, but I feel that it would be nice if I have some time just slacking and rotting myself at home.

Redoing everything again

Hey' all, this is actually my first post after redoing my blog. This is the first time I felt refresh since my crisis life in 2005. Although it is kind of sad that I am still single, but hey, I am still young.
This picture shown here is a shot of me when I was at the summit of Gunung Tahan. Oh yar, its very cold up there. Just to add on, I realized that no matter how thick your skin is, you will still feel cold up there. This trip made me realized that I am still a selfish bastard, especially during the times when I saw Mr. Guru doing selfless stunts. However, as quoted from Mr. Guru, it is true that this trip wasn't up to expectations as we have people whose fitness level are not up to desirable state and thus acting as a burden to those who are fitter. But then again, if there isn't any burden, there wouldn't be any challenge. Therefore, I enjoyed this trip very much as I met alot of new friends.
Moving on to a new chapter, I have just started my year 3. This time round I hope to work closer with the rest of my classmates. I felt that this is impprtant to me as I can't work with people who aren't even sure of what personality I have. In addition, I hope to achieve better results through hard work because its my last year in this poly.
