1, 2, 3, 4............... 5! 5 trips today!!!!! I spent $20 on transport this week... Madness... Adult fare so ex and the government still wanna increase?????????? So rich already still want more... GREED!!!

Today was my first day of work... (and my first trip of the day)... Well, didnt turn out as i would have liked it to be... Start of the day was quite ok... Other than them scaring us with reports of all kinds of accidents they have had... Fingers amputated, fractured ankle, fractured finger, etc etc etc... Nothing fatal, but some are more painful than death... Well, at least it scared me enough to tell me i shouldnt be working there and endangering my life... Haha... That's what the guy told me too... And cause of my wrist injury, i was sacked... Or put it in a nicer manner, asked to leave for the sake of my safety... First day and last day at work... Oh well, dont know if im sad or happy to leave... Sad cause im back to square 1 and happy cause im not gonna die... But God has a even better plan for me... Agent called me immediately after i told her about the sacking and gave me a better job! Starhub Customer Service, $7/hr... Only thing is working hours 10am-10pm and gotta work 5 days a week including weekends (rotating)... And i gotta go to Tamp for interview... At first quite reluctant, but that $7 motivated me... Haha... All the way from Boon Lay to Tamp... (frm work to Boon Lay, trip number 2)... West to East... (that's trip number 3... a long 1 at it)... The interview only 2 minutes lah... Made me feel so stinking dumb... All the way to Tamp and 2 mins only!!!! I better get the job otherwise the trip wouldnt be worth it... Well, from tamp to home... My goodness... (2 buses back... trip number 4 and 5)... I just topped up my card yesterday... Today, added another $10... Waste of money...

I realised i've been complaining a lot these few days... Haha... This para shall be dedicated to the POSITIVES! At least now i can watch the world cup! Haha... Tonight, Argentina to send Germany back to their WAGs... Italy to show Sheva that Italy's the best... And moving to Chelsea is dumb... More positives more positives... Saw a nice NIKE t-shirt just now... Wanted to buy it.. After i get my pay... Haha... And i think i may buy 1 or 2 or the 3 cds that caught my eye... Wu Yue Tian's Zhi Zu, Guang Liang's Yue Ding (with lots of MVs... Sure to be the 1... Haha) and Fan Wei Qi's album (didnt catch the name cause rushing off)... That's all the positives i can think of... Hopefully i have more next post... Till then...

I have been complaining that im so bored at home nothing to do and wanting something to do... Now i've got a lot to do... Tomorrow im starting work le... At TetraPak... Somewhere near Tuas... Kinda a long journey there, but got shuttle bus to bring me there... Hopefully i can adjust to the working shifts...

Today i had to go down to the company for an interview... They explained to me what its all about though im still not very sure... Tomorrow got orientation... Hopefully i get a better picture then...

I almost had like no time at home today... I thought after the interview can go home and sleep... But didnt turn out like i wanted it to...

I was told to take another bus (different from the one i took in) back to Boon Lay Interchange cause its supposingly faster... Well, i took the "faster" bus but from the wrong side... So I went one whole round... A 15 mins journey took me 40mins... Crap... There's more to come... I got a call from the agency... Told to go down again to Taka to sign contract... Wah sian... There goes my afternoon sleep... After that journey, reached home at 4pm and though i could probably get some sleep, but i couldnt... Cant get to sleep... Ugh... Gotta sleep soon le... Tomorrow reporting for work at 8am... Meh...

Woohoo! I spent half the day out today... Haha... Yesterday i sent in a resume and this morning they called me to go down for interview... Interview at Taka only took like 5mins... Most probably will get the job... Tomorrow morning gotta go Tuas for 2nd interview... Today's one was at the agency, tomorrow will be the company itself...

The job quite good... Only needa do packing... Pay $6.50/hr... 3 mths commitment, but end of 3 mths, get $600 bonus... Of course its not all beautiful... Its rotating shifts... 7am-3pm, 3pm-11pm, 11pm-7am... Everyday also must work, 22 days a month... Hopefully my schedule allows me to go EDGE more often than not and let me watch the world cup final... Haha... Hopefully i can tahan the different shifts cause its kinda hard to adjust to different sleeping times...

I just accidently smashed my guitar against my table!!!!!!! Chipped off a bit... *OUCH*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone's going back to school today... Its gonna get a little quieter now... Hopefully I get a job soon and stop slacking... Im gonna die of boredom man...

Yesterday I attended a wedding dinner... At Sheraton Towers (or Hotel)... The waiteress there jialat man... Dont know how to serve... Keep knocking spoons down, plates clashing all the time, making so much noise... Pour drink also dont know how to pour... Spill on the table, spill orange into tea, and dont bother to say sorry or change the tea... Just keep quiet and walk away... Refill drink only ON REQUEST... If your table got like 5 glasses needing to be refilled, and you call for her to refill yours, she only refills yours and not the rest... What kinda service sia... The waiters there also same kind 1... Walk past me, accidently kicked my chair and dont bother to apologise... Just walk past like nothing happened... Are they like zombies or what? Totally expressionless, dont even smile when they serve... Like do until not happy sia... My mum say maybe their boss never pay them salary then they not happy... Nonsense service... Dont ever use that hotel for any of your functions...

Enough about lousy service... The food was good though... I liked the yam with scallop thingy... First time i had it... The groom seriously screwed up his wedding sia... He was supposed to open the cork of the wine bottle by popping it up in the air, but he just pulled it out like opening a can drink... He looked stunned when it came out and everyone just erupted in laughter... Haha... Joker man... Do stunt at his wedding... Other than that, it was rather uneventful... We rushed through our last dish cause we wanted to go back and watch soccer... Haha... The wedding ended so late lah... Last dish came at 11pm...

Later tonight got activity le! Finally something to do... Gotta go down to Toa Payoh Bldg to learn the new worship software... Sounds like they are gonna start using EasyWorship... Hmm...

26 Oct 2006 is tEh DeY! 7 weeks modified BMT... Haha... Shiok man... Its nice to be downgraded... Josh will agree with me... Haha... That guy... Out of course man... Gonna be downgraded soon too...

Well, these few days nothing much to talk about... We had paintball war the other day... And its been rather quiet since... Ytd we had net... Really funny sia... I teaching lesson then my bro and Joshua keep laughing... Its like they will suddenly burst out in laughter lah... Then Jon, Charissa and myself just look blur... Like what are they laughing at man... It didnt happen once... It just kept going... Weird sia... These two guys... Must separate them next net... Terrible lah... Today EDGE was quite nice too... Good message, good worship and good time eating chocs... Haha... So many chocs today... First we had the milk choc which our reg won in the games on Wed... Then i had M&Ms... And we also have Jon's choc coins... Heaty man... Jialat... Haha... Oh well... That's all for now i guess... 2 more hours to go...

Actually wanted to blog ytd... But whole day playing with Jason until match time then nv blog...

Ytd we had our corporate youth activity... Paintball WAR at bishan park! Organised by Wilson, Sheena and myself... Esther Wee did help us a bit too... This activity actually quite last min... I oni know that im supposed to help organise it on Monday night loh... Like 42 hours before the activity itself... A lot of things we worked out on the spot... Last min stuff... Just add in 1... Like the sudden death 3 whistles and 1 whistle thingy all last min 1... We expected 40 people, but in the end 52 people turned up... Great! But.... They all came bit by bit... Supposed to start the activity at 3pm, but we could only start it at 445pm... At 3pm, got only like 10 people... Kinda good also cause we still setting up the field... Haha... Every few mintues, people start coming in... Bit by bit... Then we had problems arranging the groups cause the numbers keep changing... Once the games started, you see madness man... Haha... Everyone was chionging and throwing bombs all around... Too bad they cant hit cause they will lose 2 paper for every shot on me... Sheena got hit once... LoL... The sudden death arena was the fun-est part of the game... Actually the circle not so muddy 1 but i poured 1 pail of water on it... Haha... No mud no fun lah... Jon keep winning the sudden death loh... PRO! But i guessed everyone had fun... Esp Reg B... They were chionging at the other group like mad lah... Got quite physical between those two groups... LoL... Jon's group and the other group were quite quiet... Not aggresive... But Jon's group still got 2nd cause they ally with Reg B's group... And Reg B won the games... Cause they cheated... Haha... Stole our bomb bags... Terrible people... But the games ended quite fast leh... Like 20mins or so only... Cause not enough bomb bags le... I think the games not done properly too... If only we had more time to plan... A lot of things never do properly, anyhow 1... Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed the games... :)

WAH KAO! WTH IS WRONG TODAY LAH! Nothing good's happening... I had a chat with Richardson just now during prayer meeting in the video room... Talked about the video ministry situation... Later i explain... Then when we were leaving church, my bro go knock my amp on e car... Now got one dent.. Make my mum so angry lah... Then my parents quarrel over some stupid thing... Although it only lasted 1 min, but its freaking stupid 4 2 adults to be quarreling over something liddat lah... When problem comes, they dont come alone.. They like to come together... Then now, the activity for tomorrow still a lot of things unsure... And another person showing attitude to a friend... Come on lah... Friends!!! Please... Talk nicely to each other...

Video ministry... Haiz... Why liddat... I was supposed to have left the ministry years back but came back last year cause Derrick asked me to help out... Quite reluctant but i also scared the ministry fall apart so i better go back help... Seems like a lot of the youths are unhappy with the adults now... Maybe im bias, but i seriously think something needs to be done about them (the adults)... Kai Loon has been really ON FIRE... But maybe a little too much... So much so he does things too "kan chiong" style... And a little too authorative over the youths... Definetely we respect him cause he's our senior in terms of age... But in terms of video ministry, we have been in the ministry longer than him and for someone new in the ministry to come in and start giving instructions to others, doesnt seem like the right thing to do eh? Another guy, Derrick... Supposed to be ministry head.. Last i heard was that he's supposed to be temporary... So how long is his temporary gonna be? Is that word "temporary" affecting his commitment to the ministry? After 1 year in the ministry, he doesnt seem to have done much... Yes, we have a duty roster now... But he's not the one doing the roster? Not a big deal i know... But many times, he dont act like he's the head of the ministry... Everytime there's a problem, we are the ones getting scolded... Me, Brian and Richardson are always the ones taking fire... I know we are the most senior ones in the ministry, but shouldnt the ministry head come out and be the one taking all these? Not that i am afraid of getting blasted or wat... Already used to it anyway... Just that there's nothing much we can do cause we're not the ministry head... Some things we need him to do, we dont have the power to do it... Haiz... How to fang xin go NS with the ministry liddat? Maybe God didnt let me go in cause he wants me to settle the ministry first... Chris is probably the best newcomer to the video ministry... He has a heart to serve and always wanting for the ministry to improve... He'd be a great "member" of the video ministry to keep... But there seems to be a lot that needs to change... Not that all the fault lies with the adults, but our youths also needa change... SOME people, you know who you are, always late! Never come for setup, duty also come late... Maybe Jon pamper them too much..Coz last time he always come in the morning to setup for them... *claps for Jon for always coming early to setup and help*... But dont always do it for them lah... Let them do it themselves... They must learn to come early to help setup... Guys, if its your duty, you come and setup PLEASE! Hopefully one day can meet up with Bro Andrew with the youths (in the ministry) to discuss this video ministry thing... Cannot carry on liddat lah... In fact, the reason i am still in video ministry is cause i wanna make sure there's someone reliable and responsible enough to lead the ministry before i move on... God help us!

YAY!!! WE TRASHED REG B!!! EAT HUMBLE PIE!!! Haha... Today was our street soccer tournament... Reg B say they wanna trash us... But in the end, we trashed them... TWICE! EAT THAT! Haha... The first time was the ultimate 1... Our main objective wasnt to win the competition... It was to beat reg B... Why them? Cause they so hao lian... Keep saying wanna trash us... Look who got trashed in the end... First game of the tournament - Us vs Reg B... Final Score - 4-0 to us... WEEE!!! OLE OLE OLE!!! After that game, kinda like mission accomplished le... But we went on to win the final... And guess what? The final was against Reg B! AGAIN! Haha... Another whooping... 4-1 this time... Half time we sub like 3 players out... Coz already winning quite a lot so let the rest have a chance to play...

The tournament not easy man... My bro cried cause we asked him not to play... Not that we dont want him to play but got other reasons lah... Because of that stupid old man lah... U23 competition come here disturb... Old man go watch Malaysia Cup lah... Then when we asked my bro to play, he dont want, keep crying... In the end, had to let him play the semi-finals against the big guys.. Luckily they never bully him... Although he only played one-half, we won the match! 2nd half i sub him and we scored the equaliser through Matt! WEE!!!! Almost full time le then equalised loh... Then it was GOLDEN GOAL... AGAIN OUR HERO!! MATT WEE!!! SCORED THE WINNING GOAL!!!! WHUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! We were so happy we jumped all over him! Haha... That kinda feeling like tears of joy flowing out of your eyes liddat... SHIOK! We're in the finals!!! Dont need to continue the story le... Haha...

EGDE today was wonderful... Worship was AWESOME... Very long never had such AWESOME worship le... Sermon was good too... After EDGE, we used the money we won from the competition to treat all the reg people to Macs... Of course we pay our tithes too... Haha... Now we all got new names le.. Only the gaffer dont want to change name...

Matt - Matthew Gerrard
Joash - Joash Rooney
Declan - Deklanbauer
Jason Tan - Jason de Assis Moreira (whoever that is) and of course
Me - Fabian Messi

WE EAT LOSERS FOR BREAKFAST!

*Correction to previous post* - "I am going to NS le" is now INVALID!!! WEE! Im not going in le... At least not for awhile... Haha... I didnt run away from NS, but they chased me away... To think i went there so excited (at least its better than rotting at home)...

My previous few post mentioned about me going to NUH yea? The splint the gave me? That's why i was rejected by the Tekong MO... Quite a journey that morning.............

Had to wake up freaking early! 5am and i was up! Usually, i sleep like 4-5am (from all that dota-ing and TV).. This time i gotta wake up at the time i sleep... Forced myself up and walked around the house like as if its the last time i will see my house, taking in every single detail around... Headed off to Pasir Ris Interchange at about 7am...

At that Pasir Ris Interchange, got this sergeant (spelt correctly?), he ask me what happened to my hand... So i told him blah blah blah... He asked me how am i gonna enlist like that (my hand).. Like as if i can answer that question loh... I never ans him... Then my dad tell him i got letter from doctor... He asked to see it... When i passed him the envelope (with the letter sealed), he dont dare open... He say just go to Tekong and pass to the MO... Stupid sia... Talk until like he so POWERFUL but in the end cant do anything... Haha...

At the ferry terminal, got another joker ask the same thing as the sergeant at the bus interchange... My dad ask him if he got power to say whether or not i can enlist, he say YES... WOW! So i showed him the letter... BUT! He say cant open oso... Haha... Action oni... So in the end, went to Tekong loh...

Before i could even exchange my IC, they brought me to see the MO there... Waited 1 hour for my turn.. The MO center there got so many people loh.. And all "bulky" ones... The MO see the letter le say dont enlist today... So he sent me back to mainland... Ask me to CMPB for medical review again... At that point, i was soooo sian... I come all the way to Tekong and then you tell me go HOME? What to do... Go back loh...

Went to CMPB to do the medical review immediately... Downgraded... PES C1L2, perm... When i saw my PES status, i was no more unhappy about being sent back... Haha... Worth it worth it... After that day, i realised that it was probably good that i dont go in yet... If i had went in, things would have been really different... I wouldnt have "known" people i "didnt know", wouldnt have watched the world cup, etc.... And i could probably celebrate my birthday here and not in Tekong! Praying hard man... Haha... Well, it all happens for a purpose eh... I dont really know what... But God knows... That's enough... Enlistment letter... Dont come so fast...

I will let you guys know when my letter comes so you can treat me again... Those who didnt treat me the last time, you can make up for it... Haha..

Well, im going NS soon... SOON! 2 days more... Less than 48 hours... Meh... A lot of pple ask me, "scared?", "anxious?", "excited?".. Initially, i was quite excited lah... But now i feel nothing... Hahah..

I hate POLYCLINICS! TERRIBLE! Why? Here's the story.........................

2 weeks ago (i think so), i went to CCK polyclinic to see a doc coz my wrist hurts... I waited 2 hours (including getting medication) there and i only saw the doc for less than 5mins! When i went in, she asked me what was the problem... I told her i had wrist pain... She said its normal! WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT MY WRIST! What sia.. Then she asked me go take medication.. On that Sunday, i asked Hayley whether its normal.. She says NO... SHe told me to go to a specialist but my mum dun wan unless got referral from Polyclinic coz they refer i got subsidy... I didnt wanna go coz Polyclinic is juz crap lah... Last sunday, matt recommended me his family doc... I went there ytd to see him... When i reached there, the queue number was 5 and mine was 19... Sia lah... 14 numbers away.. So i went walk walk loh... I found this Ben's and Jerry ice cream at a SHELL station! So happy sia... Tot of buying it after seeing the doc.. While waiting for my turn, i sat at the kopitiam there wif all e uncles... I ordered ICE LEMON TEA, but the auntie so smart, she gimme ICE TEA! WHERE'S THE LEMON!!! Sian lah... I didnt bother to ask her change so i juz drank it... My first time drinking it.. And it tastes like CRAP... Anyway, back to the doc... When i saw him, he say its some ligament loose... If aggrevaite, i may not be able to write again! When he said that, my mind went away from wat he was saying... I could only think of the "WHAT IFs".. Then he referred me to NUH to see the PROFESSOR... Freaking early appointment though... 8.35am! Zzz... I usually wake up at 12pm... Haha...

Went to NUH today and waited 1 hr 30mins before my turn... (I WAS THE FIRST TO REACH THERE LOH!)... Then the doc had THREE other docs to look at my wrist... So i had 4 people pressing my wrist and asking me "PAIN?"... SURE PAIN LAH... Not pain i go for wat... It probably made my wrist more painful... Zzz... Cut long story short, i got a wrist splint made and now am wearing it... haha...

Today i lead worship for prayer meeting... Not easy man... Stand there so long very tired sia... Leading worship isnt easy with just 15 people in the whole hall... AND NO BACKUP INSTRUMENTS/SINGERS.. But was really happy when people came to say, "Well done", "Great worship"... WEE!!! All that stress-ness was worth it! HAHA... Well, gonna stop here... Wrist hurts when typing... :P
