Whee! First and second day at Work!

First day at work... Tiring... I am dying... Thought I could last for at least a week but I feel so wasted now... Sigh... But of cos, I feel quite happy working there... I thought I would dread working there because it would feel so weird... The only sixteen year old Singaporean guy working at a construction site... I think I am the first boy to be doing it... Hahaha!!! So... My boss treats me very well... I like working with him...

Not only the people there are nice,( Icludes the Indian and Banglah workers... They really are nice...) there are also so many things to learn... I am very sure when I finish my work there, I will know much more about homemaking... Even though I only helped by setting up the wires and doing some other odd jobs, I could see how serious they were in doing their jobs.... In fact, most people have the wrong idea that only the stupid kind of people go and do this kinda work... You people are so wrong! They are certainly not smart academically but they are smart in a way that they do things very smartly... And they think really fast for a solution when they foul up...

All I did today was not much but it really drained me... I had to help my boss connect the wires for the whole room and put up the trunking... (which is the pipe that contains the wires...) Then after that, I was told to go pick up the lose wires on the floor and place it in a bag... They said they could sell those wires for money... Great idea! So I went to do it until it was time for lunch... Oh sorry... I forgot to tell you guys what my consturction is about... They are currently wiring the newly built hotel rooms and also all the things that is needed to be done to make a hotel room... The room I am working in is now bare... Walls not painted, floor not tiled and walls not plastered...

The picture below shows how I got the job... My dad contacted his friends and well... You know the rest... I gtg... Mom wanna use the computer... Will update this entry with more info and as well add a new entry... Hopefully by tomorrow...

Updated:*

Sigh~! Sorry to keep you guys waiting for so long... Since I am updating this entry, I might as well just write what happened over the past few days... Hahaha.... About work? I have so much more to write about actually but I do not know where to start... My first and second day of work has indeed let me see things which I really did not expect to see.... You might all think that the workers there are matured... However, they are not!! I really am surprised... You will always hear the malaysian workers saying Tamil profainities whenever they see some Indian workers and the Indian workers... Yea... They start saying profainities in dialect... Hahahaa!!! Quite funny...

One weird thing has been going around the site is that there has been sightings of ghosts... Hahaha.... Word has it that the hotel staff had seen some person dressed in white walking along the corridors of the site.... Time of sighting is about 10 p.m... I wonder if its true... Workers who did O.T till about that time also heard indistinct chatting through the air duct... And weird thing is, people who were outside the site could see some white thing beside the workers but workers could not see them... Hahaha.... There were also ghosts stories... Saying this one hotel, where quite a few family encountered this ghost... The hotel unit was at the corner end of the corridor... The interior of the room (Please try to visualise...) is such that if you stand at the door facing into the room, the windows would be right opposite you... The space between the window and door is occupied by a couch and tv placed perpendicular to the window... So, as the story goes... A family was seated on the couch watching tv when the door suddenly swung open and at the next end of the corridor, they could see a girl dressed in white running towards thier room... Within moments, the girl was seen ruuning into their room, right past them between the couch and tv and out of the window.... Eeee!! Sick huh? It happened to quite a few families.. All saying that they saw the same thing... Let's drop this subject shall we? I suddenly feel so cold... Hahaha....

Easter is here! And sadly, I could not attend the easter service... I think my service friends are losing faith in me... Sigh.... I had something that needed my imidiate attention... My cousin had some problem and he sought my help... So I slept over at his house on friday night... And saturday came and I was hoping to go to service but I had to accompany him to Raymond... (The person who is solely responsible for bringing my F9 in Additional Mathematics up to a B3... Thank you...) So I stayed there till it was about 4... Then had to rush back to granny's place to eat Lor Mee... She cooked it for dinner and I have to be there... I hate to see my granny sad... She feels sad if one of her grandchildren isn't there... So I couldn't go for service... Sigh~! Sorry Lennon... I really didn't mean it... I wanted to be there too...

Today... Sunday... I went to play pool with Gabriel and someone else at SGCC... Enjoyed your company guys!! Thanks for today... Went back in time for dinner and then, slept till now and then I decided to update this entry... Sigh~! Ricca is leaving for Indonesia tomorrow... Do have a safe journey yea? Enjoy yourself when you get back there... Say hi to your famiy for me... Oh yeah... Btw... Who's side are you on in the tagboard? You sound like you agree with that stupid cypher... I am really like what he said arhxz?? You should know who's words matters to me the most... Just like you take someone else's words very seriously...

Think I am gonna end here... I seem to be like able to meet people from all walks of life in my blog... Hahaa... Kinda glad and angry about it somehow...

"Work work work... Wei Xin! Bring me that ladder! Get the blueprints and wait for me at the 14th floor..." Ah Dee

Sigh~!

Well... Guess what... I finally found a job... Yay! Not really happy about it though... Cos it's found by my dad and I am working under his friend's worker... All of you must be wondering what job I got... To make it sound nicer, I am called an electrician... Sound bad, an odd job doer... Luckily I am only working till 14th of April...

Sigh~! That means I would not be able to blog regularly... Another thing I am pissed about is my posting... Actually I was hoping to get into Singapore poly so that my school starts at 30th May... Then after my work, my granny wanna bring me to Australia to visit my cousins... Seems like I can't go now... I called Nanyang poly and asked when my course starts and it starts at 18th April... What the fuck! So fucking early... Now I can't go to Australia... Damn it! Sigh~! What bad luck I have...

I do not have the mood to continue with today's entry anymore.. Sorry people... Just feeling so damn pissed off and disatisfied that things aren't going my way... Tell you more about the job I am doing next time...

I hate Nanyang poly!!!

Shoot me...

Yes... I have not blogged... So shoot me... Had quite a fun day today... Went out with Heike and watched Spongebob Squarepants The Movie... It was great... The show was hilarious... You all should go watch it... I doubt you will regret watching it...

Nothing much has really happened these few days except that my dad has been pressing me to get a job... I tried SGCC's jumbo but to no avail... They needed someone who can work till like maybe june... But my school starts at the end of may... Sigh... Gonna get more nagging... Qian Bei says she will help me keep a lookout for jobs... Wonder if she found any...

I dun think I have anything nice to blog about today... Just feeling guilty for not blogging for quite some time... Sorry folks... Truly sorry... Obviously I have to find something to talk about... Till then, I think I won't be having any inspirartions at all... In the meantime... Stay happy and healthy my friends...

I am a goofy goober yea! You're a goofy goober yea! We're a goofy goober yea!

Bad day...

Today is gonna be a bad day... I can almost feel it...

Stupid shoes on wheels

Stupid shoes... Almost had a freak accident today... All because of this pair of shoes... Why can't they just walk like normal human beings? Why do they have to glide across? Is it so difficult to lift your legs to walk?

Ever since I first saw advertisments for these kinda shoes, I have detested them... Not only do they bring harm to the user alone, they also bring harm to innocent people like us...

I went to the IT convention at Suntec city today... And boy! Was it crowded... Just as I was about to step into the exhibition hall, this guy zoomed passed me... I could practically feel the wind rushing pass by me... He missed me completely... No... His backpack hit me... I don't know what was in the bag, but it certainly was heavy... So heavy that I was knocked to the ground... I was kinda stunned at that moment... Sitting on the ground looking dazed... What was worse is that he did not even noticed that he had hit me and just went away...

What the freaking hell! Not even a word of apology... All I saw was his figure getting smaller and evaporating into the crowd... I am so pissed... This kinda contraption sure is dangerous... Consoloation is that, he hit me and luckily not some old man... If a old man was hit, I am sure he would be in the hospital now... I wanna curse that asshole which colided into me today... I curse that you will become like the guy in the next picture...

These kinda shoes should be banned in Singapore... No... In the whole wide universe... I really pity those parents who bought this stupid contraption for their offsprings... I don't mean to curse them but I hope someone dies from using it so they will drop it like a bad habit...

Idiots!!! I hate Heelies... I am so gonna burn them...!!!!

Urinal Etiquette

Sounds like a weird topic to touch on actually... I myself do not really know if this topic is for real or not... I did some research and found it interesting so I guess we can all discuss about it... Haha... Last time I did on bus etiquette and now... Urinal etiquette... Here goes... (For girls: Urinals can only be found in the male toilets... So girls reading this can just laugh thier head off that there is actually such a thing...)

The male toilet... Walk in and you see the thing that all guys stand up to and urinate in them... The urinal! Haha... Enough said... I am sure the girls would know how the urinal looks like... I need not draw one do I? Any girls who does not know how a urinal looks like can approach me... I'll be glad to bring you into a male toilet to see it... So anyways... There are two rules to know about before I go deeper into the whole thing...

The two basic rule: Proximity to man(PtM)factor and the Proximity to entrance(PtE) factor... Point to remember, PtM will always be the first priority over to PtE...
PtM means that the distace between each man while using the urinal and PtE means the distance between the urinal and the toilet entrance... Understanding this will allow us to move on to the next section of the blog...
It is known that the distance between each used factor must be the greatest...
Note: When deciding which urinal to use, always use PtM first and then PtE... Must use both... Unless you are the first in the toilet...)

The picture above, will relate to the examples given later on the usage and priority of PtM and PtE... I am sure there is no need for further explanation for the picture... Quite straightforward isn't it? All examples will be using this toilet as the setting...

The first man that enters this toilet, will definitely have to use urinal number 1 as shown in the picture because he cannot use PtM... Isn't the reason obvious? So he uses PtE to make his choice, which is furthest from the toilet's entrance... The next man that comes in will have to use the PtM first to make his choice of urinal... Knowing that PtM is much more important than PtE, his only choice of urinal is number 10... This two is easy... But what if a third one comes in?

This is the catch... Noticed that PtM is more important than PtE, the third person has a choice of urinals in the center which is number 5 and 6... But why did the picture chose number 5? Remember that we have to use both PtM and PtE to make a choice? Well... Urinal number 5 coincidently satisfy both factors of decision...

Now here comes the fourth pisser... Haha... Hope I aren't boring you... He has a though choice to make... Why not choose urinal number 3 you all ask, since there is a same amount of distance between the first man and third man... Well... Go back to the deciding factors, PtM and PtE... PtM trumps PtE so comparing the distance between the second man and third man and the distance between the first man and third man, second and third man wins this segment... and using the next factor after PtM, urinal number 7 seems the best candidate...

The fifth guy is fairly simple, unrinal number 3 because it is the only one that does not come into contact with another user...

The sixth guy is quite complex but sticking to the PtM rule, he by right should use urinal number 8 because by using that urinal, he only comes into contact with one guy rather than two... But why not unrinal number 9? Figure that out yourself...

From this stage onwards, each subsequent guy that comes in will only have to use the PtE factor, and gradually fill up the urinals...

Of cos the people do not urinate for that long that they wait for the urinals to be filled up before they leave together... So people come and go very quickly... All we have to remember is just the two basic rules and no washroom will be too confusing for you... But come to think again, how many guys actually know about this urinal etiquette thingy? So what is the point in learning?

Before ending this entry, there are points to take note while urinating...
1. I don't think I need to tell you, absolutely NO touching of anyone other than yourself. A touch of another's elbow is of the highest offense.
2. NO Singing. Period. Or whistling.
3. Keep your eyes to yourselves. Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only..."Yeah, I see you there. I will not look again".

I wonder if this thing will ever go big... If it does, it can only mean trouble for guys...

Who am i?

I have been lying in bed, faithfully every single night, thinking... " Who am I? What am I doing recently and why am I doing it?" Someone once told me... "Wei Xin... You are too kind... You keep thinking about others... You should be a little selfish..." Sigh... Then someone also said... "Wei Xin... You are ignorant and childish..."

This I ask all of you... What do you all think I am? I really wanna know... Be truthful... Dun tag but please leave a comment so it stays there for good... Thank you all...

What kind of a person am I? Can some kind soul help me? I cannot always be the one helping... I need help too... I ain't perfect...

For my friends out there...

Another chapter of my life has passed... Once was during the PSLE, now, it is the BIG 'O's... Having studied for ten years, it has clearly indicated the kind of lifestyle Singapore's students are accustomed to... Everyday, study, study and more study... Never letting up and all for a piece of paper that determines our future... Sigh... Sounds sad huh? Given my kind of score, I think the only choice left is to go to a poly... I am intending to go into the business facualty... Hoping that I can carve out my own career in the future...

Moving right along, ever since the release of results, many of my friends are feeling so down... Either because of a lousy score or that they cannot get into their choice of school... Friends, my heart bleeds for you... I can almost feel the pain that you guys are experiencing... Do not worry because this is still not the worst thing that can happen... It still isn't too late to help yourself up from the fall you had... There are some friends of mine which I wanna particularly address... So here goes...

Diana & Bei Bei: How are you feeling after I spend the whole day with you? You better be happy... Haha... Well girl, all is not lost... There still are paths for you to choose... What you have to do now is to pick yourself up and choose the best path that is most beneficial to you... There is no path that will look bleak for you... It is just how you make the best out of it and put it into favour for you... Live not to regret... You can make it... Just believe... Remember... Kamu harus punya keperchayaan...( For Bei Bei's use, it means you must have confidence...) I will do what I can to help you... Remember, do not hesitate to come running to me for help... In fact I wish you will... Not cursing you though but hope that you trust me enough to ask for my help...

Before ending this, I would like to thank everyone for his or her support that they have given me over the years... Especially the teachers... Love you guys...

To my friends out there. Never forget those who once helped you and return their help with a smile... It certainly melts their hearts...

My score
