updates!

Its been a long time since I last blogged. I’m so sorry if you have been a regular visitor and always leave empty handed (I doubt there are people who belongs to this category anyway. 1. I don’t think there are any regular visitors to my blog. 2. You come my blog for the blogshops, which most probably means you won’t be leaving empty handed!)

Okay, updates! I had been working at ntuc income, taking charge of the branch services email, and it has been a fun and enriching experience. It is a malay environment, and it is the first time I’m interactingin close proximity with races other than chinese. (Sua gu I know, you cannot blame me! My secondary school and junior college classes are pure chinese!) Plus, it is the first time I get to hear about secondary school life from the lower ends of the education hierarchy (thanks to Anna!). I had much fun going to work and talking cock with the rest, striking up conversations with the many agents I meet, eating a variety of food (read: dallas dallas and more dallas chicken!) and experienced some minor culture shocks (eating at a chinese mixed rice stall with Anna; so many starers!). It has really been an enriching experienc, but sadly, it has to end real soon. My last day is on 23rd/24th July, around one week plus before the school term starts on the 3rd of August. Although I leave with a tinge of sadness, I am looking forward, excited and ready to embark on the next chapter of my life. I sincerely hope that Rainbow would continue to rock on and be the fun and ‘in’ place to be in working in NTUC Income. (:

School term starts on 3rd August! I am so excited! I know, I am crazy to be anticipating the start of school, add that to the fact that I am probably going to the most competitive course in University, so yeah, I forgive you if you term me anything along the lines of ‘crazy’ or ‘nerd’. Honestly, one really has to go through NS to really appreciate the finer things in life. University represents the end of your education journey, and with it, the end of your free and carefree, troubleless life. It has been a helluva long education journey, with many ups and downs, memories and nightmares. I am happy to say that despite all the regrets I had, I am looking forward and am going to work hard to ensure my University education will not fall under the list of regrets I have. (:

Although one of the greatest regrets I have is not preparing well for my TS interview, I should count my blessings that I still have TA instead. Afterall, TS or TA, both are still routes to be a teacher. Regardless of the scholarships you get, being a teacher is all about imparting the knowledge, inspiring the students, encourage, motivate and ensure that the students leave the education one day feeling the little imprints you leave in them, as they move on, grow up and dive into the crazy world. Dear has been making me think hard about what being a teacher is about, whether it is really just about imparting knowledge. It is much more than that. It is about sacrificing your time sometimes, doing seemingly meaningless work. It is about encouraging the students when they are down, at their lowest. It is about inspiring them to achieve far beyond what they think they can, polishing them so that the gem within shines through.  (Speaking of which, I shall read more widely so that I will always have inspiring stories, remarks, quotes and all stored in my memory bank so that I can offer them offhand to students in times of need!) It is about befriending them, but not too close, in a professional manner, such that you are able to retain the instructional role, yet laugh with them about any jokes. It is about ensuring that life in school won’t be boring, sleepy and useless for them. I can go on and on, so shall not bore you to death. Ultimately, it is all about enjoying your future career, and I really hope I do, and in the process, make the education of the kids under me an enjoyable one.

Okay I really can’t stop looking forward to University life. Everything is more or less cast in stone and I am ready to live it out! I have 5 tuitions now (against dear’s protest, which I thoroughly regret now), hopefully can squeeze all in one day – Saturday, leaving Sunday untouched for dear and the weekdays for schooling and dear. I am planning to stay in PGP (My biological father is actually willing to pay! I wonder whether this will result in any implications in future?) and hopefully, dear gets a slot there too. (: It will be five day study week for my course I’m afraid, but I will still find time to go for Ultimate Frisbee trainings (I went there on Tuesday and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. (: ) and train up for Standard Chartered Marathon 09. (: On top of all these, I will finish all my homework in time AND have time for dear too, such that she don’t feel neglected and all. (: And if possible, (think it is only possible if I drop a tuition…) I will volunteer somewhere. Maybe some FSC with volunteer tuition programmes near NUS. Life is going to be busy, but I am so looking forward to it. (: Jiayou Caron! (and dear! (: )

Last thing:  I am so looking forward to the $ coming in from the TA. I need/want to get so many things. My current laptop is going bonkers, so I definitely need a new laptop. I am planning to get a phone too, nothing to high tech, and probably not a touch screen one. I honestly prefer the keypad, I am so used to pressing the buttons! Hopefully Nokia comes out with something not too bulky and simple phone with reasonable functions! The handphone I am using one belongs to my sister, so this is definitely a need!

Moving on to wants! I really really want a Crumpler bag. (Yes I know, dear is rolling her eyes again.) I don’t know why but I figure it is sporty looking yet functional (it is afterall originally a laptop bag). I also want a super nice fitting Oakley with the lens tuned to my degrees! (I just though this up! Haha!) I mean, I want to join runs and ultimate, makes sense to have a pair of good shades to protect my eyes from the sun or to perform better whether the glare from the sun! Lastly, I know I probably won’t need this, but I really want something to count the distance when I run. Yes, I know, I can just run around the track, BUT it is SO boring! A simple pedometer would do, honestly. I saw a cadence one at Running Lab going for around 50, but I have no idea whether it is good. A polar would do fine Haha! Okay, if I really get all these, I am going to finish the award in a matter of seconds! I guess I have to prioritise my wants! Slowly get one, and save up for the next one and so on! (Okay, I always talk about saving, but in the end still bankrupt :S) Jiayou Caron! Whoohoo!

Oh ya. My birthday is coming, but I have no intention of holding any party or whatsoever, though I admit helping to plan dear’s party is making me excited and want to have one for myself too! But I guess, I am never comfortable in the limelight, not when I am standing in front of the cake and a hundred people surround me while I blow the candles. (Yes, a hundred! If I have a party, I am going to invite quite alot of people. Haha!) And! If I invite so many people, chances are I won’t get to interact much with them all as I have to play host to everyone and jump from one clique to another. I figure that I should just make time and go out with different cliques and just honestly, have a smashing good time eating, talk cock and have fun!

Disclaimer! I am not hinting for anyone to buy me any of my wants. And! I am not hinting for people to treat me when I meet them just to eat and catch up just because it’s my birthday. Honestly, I just want to be able to treasure the friendships I have. The RI soccer gang, SAJC classmates, SAJC SSC CCA mates, platoon mates and workplace friends. Probably even newly made friends from maths and teaching award! Also won’t miss out my family. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, my DARLING BABY! I will just leave one weekend free and both of us will just go crazy all over Singapore! I really don’t mind going to the Zoo, Bird Park, Night Safari, Science Centre, Toy Museum, Bukit Chandu, Old Ford factory, picnic at Marina Barrage, romantic walk at Hort Park, etc etc! Endless possibilities! Not that I want my dear to plan or surprise. I think we should plan together and most important, have fun together and just forget about the crazy world and just PLAY. I think all these will definitely make it the best birthday I can ever have thus far. (:

Within the next decade, so many things are going to happen. University life. Graduation. Start work. Start a family. Get a house. Probably a car. And maybe a couple of kids. I can’t wait. (:

Sometimes i wish..

Life is like a bed of roses. Beautiful. yet full of thorns.

Life is like a dream. At times wonderful, yet possibly nightmarish.

Life is like a rollercoaster. You enjoy it thoroughly, yet puke at the end.

Life is like gravity. Exist everywhere, and sucks all the time.

I just want to take a trip downstairs now.

Sometimes a walk with no direction in mind is therapeutic.

It is time I grow up!

Listening to all the profound things my girlfriend had to say the past few days were really like a smack in the butt for me – to finally grow up. Time and time again, I have tried but failed to engage in intellectual conversations with my girlfriend (Or anybody else for that matter). Two years of NS (Aka mental retardation), the supposed escape from studies, had made me wiser, backwards. While bathing just now (Probably the only time in a day that I think), I decided that I should start sorting my life out now. What are my aims in life? What do I want to achieve now, a few years from now, a decade from now?  What do I need to do to achieve them? It is high time for me to buck up, and live a life meaningful. (Note that I am starting to type in English, and not Singlish, with proper spelling, grammar and vocab. Pardon me if the whole entry still has mistakes, for I have not written or spoke much proper English the past two years.)

I have finally stopped bumming around after ORD. Found a data entry job at a reputatable company with nice working environment, and started earning some money. I have just found another tuition job, making it a total of five different tuition jobs. My combined income should be enough to lead a decent life, and save some money. Planning to save up for the next IT Fair in June to buy a new laptop (Hopefully), a new handphone, a black and white laser printer among some other things, probably a digicam. Time for me to save up and get things myself instead of depending on my parents to buy such stuffs. I am going to save money too to save up for my marriage too (It is never too early to save up for that (: ).

Some people might think that I am crazy to take on so many tuition jobs. People might wonder why I ‘chiong’ so much to earn money. The time spent could be put to better use afterall right? Well. I teach tuition primarily for two reasons. One, of course, is to earn money. Afterall, it represents the easiest way to earn money while studying in this results based education system. All the jobs that I currently have now are long term, with the view of teaching them to their O Levels, and maybe even A Levels. I managed to squeeze most of it on Saturdays only, so to me, ‘chionging’ one day a week to do that is not bad. Secondly, I am tuitioning to gain experience in teaching, as I am already on the track to becoming a teacher. Besides, teaching Mathematics allows me to keep up to date of the latest syllabus, and also keep my Mathematics skills sharp. I really hope my tuition kids will eventually do well, and achieve what they want some day.

I also hope to achieve what I want. My target in University is to get First Class Honours. A tall order, one might say. Dream on, others chide. Especially when the course I am going to is dominated by Mathematics geniuses from all over Asia (As NUS is one of the leading University in Asia), chiefly from China, famous for being smart AND hardworking. I know it would not be easy, and I am going to start working hard towards it, not when I enter Uni, but now. I have been slowly getting back the Mathematics mojo, practising important Mathematics chapters like Differentiation, Integration and Trigonometry. I am going to continue, and start picking up pace, doing other chapters, before moving on to Prelim Papers. Besides doing syllabus Mathematics, I shall start doing more difficult stuffs from Mathematical Olympiad and such. To compete with those China scholars, I cannot just stick to what I had learnt, but learn more than what I learnt. That’s the whole gist of it. I shall push myself hard to bring me up to the level of Mathematics I had and beyond. To achieve success, one has to get out of his comfort zone. I am going to ‘pia’ damn hard during Uni, but of course I would want to enjoy too. I guess I would play quite a bit of soccer, run frequently, catch up with good friends during free time etc. CCA? Maybe, depends on the workload and all of first semester. Maybe join some faculty activities? After dear told me about some of her brilliant friends who are scholars too (Mind you, they are top class scholars), I decide that maybe I should do something to justify myself being a scholar too. I shall start doing some community work, and also be more active in something outside school. I always liked volunteering from my days in RI Interact Club, but due to improper time management, have not been getting my lazy bum off to start doing it again. I would probably go volunteer weekly at some hospital, or some kids home and such. Probably be a big brother to some underprivileged kids and all. I shall really review what I can do to make my resume more outstanding instead of just focusing on results. ‘Pia’ in studies, CCA, tuition, volunteering, not forgetting my girlfriend of course.

Oh ya. I shall really pick up the reading bug and stop psping so often. I have quite a lot of books that have not been read yet that are collecting dust. I shall not confine myself to story books and read widely to expand my general knowledge.
As I said, it is time I grow up. It is time I set targets and work hard to achieve them. It is time I stop living in my sweet little world and face the harsh realities of today’s society. It is time I mature and think more and have more opinions about issues, from domestic to international (The screwed up education system that is judged to be one of the best in the world by others and what I can do if I work for MOE in future for example) It is time I get out of my comfort zone and push myself to run faster and longer, practice more challenging Mathematical stuffs, read books about things I would not have dreamt of reading (Geography? Classic literary texts?).

If you ask me what is the main reason why I love my girlfriend so much, I would say that she is like my parent, my best friend, my teacher, my harshest critic who meant well, my lover, my confidante all rolled into one. She never fails to bring me down when I dream too much, put my thoughts and many things into perspective logically, criticise me when I am immature, pushing me to think, to work hard, and keeping me focused on what I want. Even though she can be a tad too harsh and gets frustrated and irritated easily, I know she meant well. Deep down inside, even though sometimes I do not like it, I know she is right, and I have to pull up my socks. To sum it up, she taught me so many things, with every single experience contributing to me growing up to become who I am now and who I will be in future.
I love you. (:

absolutely flabbergasted. what a shitass.

i think im really blogging once a month man. HAHA. okay many things happened this month.. firstly…

2009

its only one month into 2009 and i enjoyed it so much that its so going to turn out to be the best year of my life so far..

firstly. me and darling have become much much closer than ever before. things are extremely stable now. though we have our fair share of quarrels and all. but all those are quarrels of marriage, i mean, quarrels that happen to iron out issues before marrying more than quarrels that will lead to breaking up. we had a really very very nice talk at the playground near her house that day till very late and we spoke about the past, the present and the future. everything. lovely. almost magical. (: lets hope all things go to plan. (: loves

secondly. i had the best chinese new year in my life so far. besides the ang bao money. i really enjoyed it because i felt that i matured alot as well as interacted with everyone impt in my life fully and to the best of my abilities.

1. ota family. i know my parents care even though they dun say it or show it most of the time. though sometimes they really get on my nerves and makes me pist off, but no matter what, they are still my immediate families. hope this year will be a negotiable one where they respect my views and really stay happy as a family

2. koh family. i want to talk to my cousins (adeline edmund sylvia sheena) more and also help sheena do well in school so she can go to express and build a solid foundation for better grades in school (: jiayou!

3. ong family. i really cannot describe how magical it is that im in contact with them now. after so long. tell me last year that this would happen and i would be skeptical. now im pinching myself at finding such a nice and warm family who are always waiting for me to go back. i love my sister to bits. though we never grow up with each other. travelling around with her during cny was fun and happy, just very happy to be able to have a sister whom i very much want to be able to talk to about everything, share my troubles problems and all. will slowly build up my sibling relations with her (: i want to visit my ahma frequently too. though she lives in tampines, i dun mind going over in the morning just to have breakfast with her etc. she’s getting older and older alr, and sometimes i do get quite depressed thinking about how sad it must have been for her to not be able to see the grandson that she dotes so dearly on grow up. now that im all grown up, i want to visit her often and even learn hokkien just to talk to her. sometimes i really wish my parents never had to divorce just so me and my ahma can be very close. was just telling dear that maybe next time i would organize a birthday dinner or cny dinner at some posh restaurant or hotel such that my ahma ahgong can be happy at the sight of every single one of the ong family present. maybe make it a yearly thing or something. i also want to be closer to cousins from this side of the family. i counted 19 of them, dunno whether its true or not. theres so many and i really hope to be able to at least to talk to most of them this year. just want to be able to get to know each other and all. now i am alr talking to yingni, shimin, clairene.. i hope to be able to add everyone on fb/msn or something. just to interact more with them. hope la. haha. know its virtually impossible. all in all. just very happy that ive ‘returned’ home after such a long hiatus. (:

4. guardians’. had a nice dinner of nasi lemak and chocolate fondue and an even nicer chat with my da jie, er jie and san jie. it was super fun and nice to reminisce about the old times, as well as catching up with each other’s lives and all. didnt want to leave but had to because of tuition. they are so gonna be part of my wedding guest list as well as my must-visit list during cny every year. (:

5. dear’s family. her mum’s super nice. really want the best for her after seeing her slog out so hard over the years to raise three daughters, and most imptly, my darling to be such a fine young woman now (: treating her family to tim sum tml. hope they will be (: (:

so many special pple. hope things last or get better as time passes by (:

and im sure there will be more special pple like my friends who’ll deserve special mention in posts like this in future. (:

getting quite sleepy typing so much. but i just had so many things i wanna say after such a long time of non-blogging. haha.

alot of pple are telling me now abt the perils of teaching. not that im going to change my mind or wadever. im just wondering what if im really not cut out for the job. wad will become of me? worse still. wad if i cannot take it in nus maths. wad would i do? sometimes i wonder how the world evolved to this paper crazed world..

had a super busy day today. on top of visiting my guardian’s place. i had four tuitions today. first time i managed to go all four since no one postponed or delay or anything. steve’s from 9-1030 (usually 10-1130) sheena’s 12-2 (1-3) tianyi’s 330-530 (430-630) and phillida’s 9-11 (830-1030). it was tiring travelling and rushing here and there by public transport. but nonetheless fun and worthed it. i think putting in four good solid days of tuition a month to earn some money is worthed it. plus i really love teaching. so no matter how tiring it is, it is so rewarding when you explain and your tutee understands. really hope all of them do well in school (: though it might be challenging and such. just hope i might make a difference somehow somewhere. (: really hope i am a good tutor and a good teacher next time. (:

ording soon. hope da jie’s company calls me on monday and employs me. hope the pay is decent too. (: cant wait for ns to be over. (: yaye! pink ic!!!!! wanted to continue typing ns and ord reflections. but getting kinda tired. so i shall go off now. CHEERS GUYS AND LADIES!

quote of the day! sometimes. you need not feel the care and concern but just knowing it and be satisfied with it is all it takes to be happy. -caron. haha!

2009

2009 is finally here (: the year that promises so much is here! cant wait for life to begin in 2009. oh wait. it has already begun!

2008 was relatively okay. many ups and downs. shall not dwell on it since im such a happy go lucky simple guy haha. but i signed off 2008 with joy. (: ytd (31st december 2008) i had a family dinner. not just any family dinner. but a proper family dinner. its been a long time since my feuding sister and mother came within 10m of each other. and ytd that happened. my mum had a good talk with me a few nights ago and decided to patch up with my sister. afterall. let bygones be bygones right? wadever it is. i had a nice family dinner eating kway chap at this macpherson coffeeshop famous for the kway chap. my darling was there. my family: mum stepdad nicholas (even ci li and the maid). my ah gu ah kim adeline edmund. my yi zhang ah yi sheena (sylvia had to work!) and lastly. my sister, danny, danzo and the maid. we took up four tables for all 19 of us. although it might seem like any other family gathering for anyone who doesnt know. but to me. it was a very special day. a day that ive longed for since my mum and sister quarrelled till seemingly the point of no return. think its like wad. five long years. since i was in secondary school. that was how long ago. after such painstakingly long years, my mum and sister finally talked again. you know how happy i was? (:

i know its virtually impossible to take a family photo with me, my sis, mum and real dad. i shall let go of the dream. i mean. theres no point in wishing for something that is impossible (unless i photoshop) right?

2008 was also the year i slowly integrate myself back to the ong family. joining them for my cousin’s wedding was the start. then my ah gong’s birthday dinner. slowly getting back in contact with my cousin’s from the ong family. feeling the wonders of the word ‘family’ more and more. (: its like a childhood dream slowly fulfilling. im thrilled (: 2009 will herald unprecedented advances in family ties for me (: and it might also mean with my darling too (: our relationships getting stronger day by day. quarrels? no problem. we’ll talk it through. problems? we’ll solve it together. angry? take a deep breath. have a nice hug. and we’re done (: so totally love her to bits (:

2009 will be the year i officially become an adult on august 15. it will also be the day my mum will want me to change surname. i dont want to. and its gonna be a big headache for me. shall just wait and see. its drawing nearer though…

2009 will be the year i ord and enter uni. almost 2 long years of suffering will end on 11th feb. misery/happiness will start when i enter uni in august. two milestones of my life. plus working in between. exciting. damn exciting. bring it on (:

dear typed a power packed entry. so totally loved it. everyone please go read it (: link’s on the right. (:

dear’s such a mature person now (: always bringing me to new levels of maturity. new knowledge. new perspective about everything. always encouraging. always making sure i do things right, do things good. always making sure i eat all the healthy food, and all the food i shun since young (sotong, octopus..) always showing me love and how to love. always making me realise how stupid i sometimes am. how crazy i sometimes act. how idiot i was. how wonderful she is. how lovely she is. the sight of my beautiful darling everyday never fails to brighten up my day everyday (: even though im her first bf, she’s already been such a wonderful gf. and me? still such an ass, like all guys are. if there’s one thing i learn from here that i must share, it’s that she showed me how to love. how to love unconditionally. how to love someone and make her feel loved. how to care. how to share. to put it simply. how to not be an ass and be the perfect bf. i really want to thank her for making me a better person. such a wonderful and perfect girl, i will never ever let go. love you (: <3

maths blog!

hi all! i created a maths blog and im devoting alot of time to it so i might not blog much but will still blog here!

http://mathsblogsg.blogspot.com

please comment on the layout and the posts! thank you all! (:

snow white and the seven dwarfs!

went to watch snow white with the seven dwarfs today with dear! dated and surprised her for this special date! thou both of us are unfortunately quite broke, but we still had an enjoyable time today! the singapore production was great for me. i like the script. as usual. haha. after watching wonderful original ideas, brilliance and creativity at its best in singapore, something that the education system has stifled, i always felt like being part of them BUT im not good at plot writing and all so i shall just leave it to the pros and sit back and relax and enjoy the wonderful show. looking forward to cinderella in jan. 10th jan! and also cats musical! hope the tickets doesnt sell out when i have the money to buy it (:

today saw so many things happening for me! firstly theres also the 8 days car boot flea market sale at big splash. east coast park there. dear and her sisters and friends set up shop there and i dare say dear’s handmade unique earrings are super well selling. many wanted but there were very little pieces only (cuz our capital too small!). and so we decided that next year her earrings blog shop shall take off. (: jiayou baby! you have my full support (: (can i design tees with alvin and sell too? haha. hopefully plan can succeed)

today is also my cousin’s wedding! my biological father’s elder brother’s son marrying. cuz i cannot make it at night. i went in the morning (without my mum knowing of course!) and met alot of aunties and uncles that i lost contact since i left the ong family zillion years ago. had a nice little chat with the smallest auntie, the nicest talking of the 5 aunties i have. advertised my tuition services too. :X hahahah.. it feels good to go back to where you were supposed to belong. even though i dunno them and they probably might even have greeted me with suspicions and even hostility, it still feels closer to me den the jap side. it might sound ungrateful to the step father who raised me with the cash he earns, but, my biological father will always be my father, and i will forever be under the ong family. i wont change my surname from ong to ota. i wont. counting down liao. 8 months plus my mum would want me to change surname and i can foresee the huge quarrel. ARGH. nvm abt that. shalt think!

today is also stanchart! dammit. a few of my frens went to run. although it was the most shag they ever felt in life so far, im jealous of them! i wanna run! why i no money sign up for it back in august! when august pay came in registration close liao DAMMIT! came across an adidas running guide in starbucks ytd. read every single word and even took out pen and paper to copy some pointers and all. and also discovered that adidas sundown is on 30th may. that’s it. im going to train for sundown 09 and stan chart 09. starting next week in camp. shall plan my running training and all. INSPIRED! woah! my seniors in sports club zihao and eugene are in this running team with a coach (weeling, dear’s friend is in too!). quite impressive given zihao ran under 4 hours I THINK. oh ya. that brings me. jason ran 4h 45m. jason. im going to beat you next year. ROAR! TRAIN HARD CARON!
