purcchase of the year.

Kon proudly presents:

haha. yep, this is the proudest purchase of the year 2008.

well, it took me quite awhile to choose and decide which was the best. my gundam mobile suits were definitely ranked above all else, however, in order to fulfil more morally positive criteria, the piggy bank was chosen. what's better than saving money? remember i am the spendthrift who never saves?

haha. so applause to my 'purchase of the year'. i have a declaration though, since the day i got it, i have never put any money inside yet......

does this still qualify for the 'purchase of the year'?

of course, this award only comprises of things i bought myself. so, i could not include my DSLR. or else that would be ultimate possession of the year! thanks Dad!

forte #3: sleeping

refer here

well i was about to just post the link there so as not to repeat a similar post. it is just boring to read another similar post right?

most proof and ways i use my 3rd forte is rather evident in the previous post dated September 19th 2008. however, did i mention the fact that i have four alarms in the morning now? haha. amazing isn't it?

Captain Planet remains
Smurfs too
Chipmunks also ( Witch Doctor )
&
give a warm welcome to...
Elmo's Song!!

so at 7:45 in the morning, Smurfs starts la-la-ing. 7:0 - Chipmunks starts screaming away. 7:55 - Captain Planet starts teaching about nature ( you know, fire, wind and water?! ) and to welcome my grand sit-up, we have Elmo singing 'la-la-la-la la-la-la-la elmo's song'. why not simply snooze the alarm? well..regretfully, my snooze button is the camera button which is at the side. a sleeping me will only figure out 3 buttons on my phone. the call ( mostly green ), cancel call ( mostly red ) and cancel ( marked with a 'c' ) button.

taking a look at LG's viewty Ku990 might help you figure it out easier.

by pressing the red cancel call button, it would simply off the alarm. the sleeping me would then fall right back into slumberland. i would say that waking me up seems equivalent to pulling some spirits back from the gates of hell. haha. despite the numerous complains and chiding from my dear brother, i have to say he is really nice to have tolerate so far. waha. thanks babe.

off to sleep then...

Roll VT. Up Music. Super CG.

in fact, i was dreaming about typing this blog post while resting just now. freaky yet intriguing.

today was my group's studio production day. i would say "our maiden voyage did not sink like titanic." it was fun yet really frantic and nerve wreaking. however it was an experience to remember.

right now, a sense of total relief is filling me up. it feels awesome! never have i felt like this for a uber long time. it is such a wondrous feeling. more projects to deal with now.

off to something much lighter.

it was also today that i found out about my internship company. school is planning to put me into CNBC not MediaCorp, so mistake on my part. i am pretty fine with it. i just want a peaceful and easy life during intern. school is already stressful for the past 2 years.

thinking back, i am already ending my 2nd year. how fast can it go?! it seemed just yesterday when i entered TP. right now, everyone is panicking for their intern. soon i will be stuck somewhere in some camp ( army ). sigh. we are growing old.

a short post today as i'm too tired and mixed emotions are making me drift around the house. i really meant drift. i'm like floating around the house aimlessly, refusing to accept the fact that i should be doing my school work or at least something.

anyways, i guess i'll go play a tune or watch some shows.

forte #2: procrastinating

if there is a word you are searching for to use on me, this is the word. i am the kind who never fails to push whatever i can to a later date to accomplish. i work under pressure yet i am susceptible to it at times. i have a very bad control over my emotions and a bad day would result in nothing being done. however, i always have a second side in front of others. now you know hur?

beware...

it is often that i try to smile and not show my bad mood. however amidst these 'acting' periods will be some stoning and dazed time. don't worry though, i am never dangerous. i am just a harmless dude. going back to my forte, procrastination is something i guess that troubles most students, not to say those super chiongster species. i never practiced that ( chiongsterism ). it does not seem to tally with my character and style of doing things? i always have idealistic dreams and goals about certain things i set out to accomplish. i will definitely try and reach them but how i reach them is usually the crux.

as usual, procrastination takes over and tells me to wait for the right time. than as the deadline draws near, i start to make a move, but more often than not, it stops mid-way. once again, let's wait for the right time. it is maybe until the week before or few days before ( usually the latter ) the deadline that my mind takes over and realise the amount of time i have wasted away. so there we go, the sleepless nights that follow and the always-satisfying "oh god! i am done!!". a click follows and your report is printing away while you have already dozed off. this is...my style.

like it or not, that is how i work. waha. of course the standard of work is always questioned, but i always read through a sentence umpteen times before i move on. i cannot hand in something that is of substandard to myself! or maybe exceptions do happen?

procrastination, the way things go ( at least in my world ).

"the internet was extended!! by a freaking hour...just for one night..." my mind thought to itself.

the day dumb ( me ) became dumber.

remember the post where i explained my utter stupidity? if you don't, let me refresh your memory. it was a sunny day where the sun shone brightly, dots. straight to the point, it was the post exclaiming about the fact that i found out a way to arrange all my post: the 'post options' link that allows me to alter the publishing date.

so you recall now?

well..the amazing thing i found today is the ability to choose the day that i want my post to be published. i can actually choose when i want to publish my posts?! how amazing?! the dumb me was just chucked into the section labelled: DUMBER. seriously, i think i am an IT dino. an idiot's guide would suit me perfectly.

however, within this stupid aura, a light bulb was switched on. i can now arrange my post even easier!! no more fussing over when to publish this or that. just choose that auspicious date and click away! sigh ( of relief ). how wonderful can technology be at times.

basking in technology.

i remember what one of my classmate said when we were in poly year 1. Lisa once said: "the best invention is the UNDO button!!" i never realise that until the moment she exclaimed in ecstasy when her graphic design work nearly went down the path of no return. typical IT fanatics will go ga-ga over the new gadgets, software and discoveries, but the UNDO button separates itself from all other forms of IT related stuff. i can never picture the day UNDO function is removed. it would spell A-P-O-C-A-L-Y-P-S-E.

i dare say that the day UNDO button disappears will NEVER come.

forte #1: spending money.

this is one ability that everyone is born with. i'm pretty sure about that. however, spending money and being a total idiot about how to spend is different? i have no clues as to how i really spend my money. one moment you see a $50 note in my wallet and the next minute you will see only $5 left? that is to some extent my predicament most often than not.

it is amazing how a son of an accountant and engineer ( both with accuracy in calculations ), can be so inept at doing these simple everyday sums. maybe i'm just too rash in making decisions at times and also too dependent on my mood to spend money? i say this as i never give a damn to my money when i'm in a foul mood. spending seems to drown the burning flame within. i'm pretty sure the people around me knows about it and previous posts have all been sprinkled with notes of over spending.

donate to the quench kon's thirst ( for money ) fund?

also, even though i am working now, it does not mean i have money! i don't understand why my classmates are all expecting me to be some rich ass. have any of you thought about the reason why i decided to work? it is simply because i spend much more than i have!! that is why i need to work in order to support my lifestyle. i know it sounds stupid and most of you will say: why not just change your lifestyle? spend lesser? save more? the bottom line is: i am an obstinate bull. i don't change that easily. so come on people, i am not rich ok?! i spend much more than you guys think.

in awe...

i recently just found my long lost bank pass book. peering in, i was astounded by the amount of digits inside, but under the withdrawal column. i never expected such an amount to appear nor have i ever expected myself to earn so much in the first place. it was an eye-opening experience! waha. it is now my mouse pad. how pathetic right? at least i made the wise choice of not replacing it when i could not find it for the past year. it would have cost me 15 bucks just for a book with columns that shows your sinful expenses. like i need anymore reminders eh?

this reminds me of the pathetic amount within my POSB account. if only money do grow like plants...i might consider flooding the banks and maybe allow sunlight in? maybe fertilisers too. although money does grow money when you invest or save it up in a high-interest-rate back, which is usually never the case. it is still a very long process as compared to working for it?

i'm no rich ass alright?!

since i buy my own, or rather me and bro's shampoo and toiletries at times, i shall end off with something that dumb brother of mine said while he was pulling on my leg hair, testing how strong they were?

"eh, you use shampoo on your leg hair also ar? no wonder shampoo so fast finish!" Corey complained to me one night.
