Something struck me from House today.
there was a doctor who quit her job to become a chef. when ppl questioned her saying she should be curing ppl, she replied "so often, we are so busy doing the things that we should be doing, that we forgot to do the things we want to do. things that makes us happy."
Today i was attached to another colleague. we talked about many things, even about his family, life style, then i talked to him about insurance. i was surprised myself. i think its not that i dont wan to do insurance, just that the situation does not allow it.
If kok wah had spend more time with me to understand my situation, or even lend me some money, things would have been very different.
I ported my line over to starhub today. got my Motorola Milestone for $48 after all the rebate and anni priviledge. will start playing with it soon. wonder if M1 will start to show any pattern bo.

almost woke up late. last night reach home close to 1am. had a nice time at alex's place. it was such a WOW! Lego! house. there is even a train set running ard the dinning hall's ceiling.
Weiye left after dinner and later ard 10pm leroy left also. i was still building Alex's Fire Brigade. later me, alex and mond talked about various schemes to get more lego, or more out of lego. how to buy and sell lego, where to buy and sell and so on.
Talking to them made me realise one thing. Mond is a collector who focus on only Castle series; Alex is a collector who collects almost every theme there is in Lego. as for me, i'm sort of tinkering here and there. Alex ask me if i really like modulars, why dont i get them now? well, i do like, but at the same time i'm low on cash. i think alex might think that i'm cash rich from my bricksy orders. so far, all 3 orders i joined in, is at least 200 on each order. the second one even went up to 500 making me the top buyer of that order.
hmmm... how i see it is different, though i buy in alot from bricksy, half of what i buy, is to be going sold. it sorts of generates money to feel itself. but if i were to buy the modulars now, it will be close to 1k going out of my wallet, with confirmation that i'll be keeping those and not selling at all.
Did abit more things and interacted more with the users today. even prepared report and stuff. hmmmm... i dont know, everything feels kinda of funny. its like passing time for money. its not something i like to do but have to do. haiz... cant really put my finger on this feeling.

5am in the morning and i'm WIDE awake. when i went to bed at 2am, i sort of woke up feeling completely rested. since i cant get back to sleep, might as well do something.
Installed the GPRS monitor which came with my phone onto my phone. set in all the values for excess usage and alarms.
Meanwhile ripping out the hokkien kids singing into small clips to put on my dad's phone.
Will do other things on my blog as well:
a time line of my life
a target achievement chart
more of my wishlist; lego, sic and other stuff
Irin was complaining that i shouldnt be starving myself so that i can save, but i wan to be settling all my debts and stuff asap. why wanna settle asap? the sooner i can get things over with, the sooner i can do whatever i wan with my money. i dont wan to be saving to clear debt slowly while more stuff i wan becomes available and unavailable. it will always put me in a dilema whether to paying debt or getting the stuff i wan.

Blogging in the morning seems to be becoming a thing for me. nothing much to do in the office also. senior say he'll teach me on the ports later and next week on images.
Hmmm... my boss mentioned that there will be OT tomorrow and if i'm interested, i wanted to just reply "give me the time and place" but tomorrow's suppose to be a tiger day... so i ask what time til what time? he's also not sure on the details, say he'll find out and get back to me.
called up M1 to change my mobile plan, without contract. from sun savers to iphone value. a different of $11 for 12 gig of data download. when i called to see if there is any additional voucher for handset so i can get a iphone, the reply was my $200 voucher expired, what they can offer me now is $60. i replied, a cut over from M1 to singtel will get me a rebate of $100. they insist that there is nothing they can do. guess i'll be using it on my HTC tytn2 then. meanwhile looking and thinking if there is a good phone to hop over to for singtel or starhub. i'm total done and dis-satisfied with M1.
Settled munch with a $1.40 hot dog from 1901. hmmm... have to look for more cheap food.

Woke up, went to take 56 to work. end up 45 mins earlier than my reporting time. chill awhile at the benches ard. completed my playmobil pirates. was stuck with the knights version.
more or less spend the day doing nothing, other than meeting users, reading manuals.
went for meeting in the evening. seems like my big boss just joined the company in march, just weeks earlier than me. hmmm... good also la, better to be in the midst of change than to be sitting there and be hit by it.
Hmmm... from how things looks, i think more of the time will be just standing by, waiting for things to happen. like what i used to do in GMS. maybe good also, can let me have more time to do up my ebay and blogshop.
I start to wonder, if things are similar to GMS, why did i leave GMS in the first place? what was i looking for? have i found it? or did i just go 1 round to come back to the same place?

Today's my second day of work. Though i was told to follow my senior ard and try to pick up as much as possible, he insist that i sit in the cubicle doing nothing as he is in a rush to complete his migration. hmmm.... shrug. maybe for now, i should just listen to him and chill, doing nothing.
the good part is, he let me have a PC to surf net, bad news is some sites as well as Facebook are restricted. good also, i can use this time to complete some left over issues provided that i can remember what are those.
Apparently blogging site isnt restricted nor any of the lego sites and forums.
After sort of running out of sites to surf, a tot came into my head, its been a long time since i went into the gachapon forum, so i did.
When i see a post to sell Sega toys and orphaned posts by alf, something sort of snapped and i swiped the forum clean. lets face it, a person cant run the forum alone and the sad part is, unlikely lego, gachapon interest fades away after a while, well, at least for most ppl. maybe one day, i'll revamp the forum. maybe one day, i can get enough ppl who are interested to do something together.
Having too much free time have certain advantages. first you start to think things you like to think. like what shall i buy for my next lego? what's next to turn for gachapons? how should i spend my next pay? well...
what shall i buy for my next lego? : Green Grocer, Cafe Corner, Fire Brigade, havent got these yet due to the lack of fundings and by end of these year, prices of these sets are going to go crazy. 2010 sets can sort of wait ba.
what's next to turn for gachapons? Anizo 22, One Piece strong islands mascot 1 and 2, Yujin Pictorial Library Crabs reissue.
how should i spend my next pay? er... if i get all those above, i think this HALF month's pay will already be knocked out, not to mention that my orders from bricksy, an ebay lego seller, havent been accounted for yet.
Oh yah, i might wanna start on
S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii (Ultimate Soul): A smaller & more affordable version of existing S.I.C. figures. SIC are simply too big to be stored. not to mention the price. currently i already have the Hibiki series of this (Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kamen Rider Zanki and Kamen Rider Todoroki), only short of Kamen Rider Ryuki, Kamen Rider Knight, Kamen Rider Faiz, Kamen Rider Faiz (Axel Form)Kamen Rider Faiz (Blaster Form), Kamen Rider Faiz Auto Vajin
After thinking all the good tots, you start to look at the bad one also. hmmmm...
My bills, insurance payments, debts, think i'll need to look on only the bare neccessity to get and have all the bad stuff cleared first. legos will have to wait, gachapons will need to get first. SIC... hmmm... if i can get it below 20 for each, i might, but then again, i might not. actual SIC are double the size (triple the price) and have so much more accessories and posability. Hmmm... the only SICs i have are the Hibiki series. only 3 anyway.

Woke up groggy today and kept fading in and out of sleep.
End up skipping service.
Went out to PS to look for yan's bink bink stitch Iphone cover. no luck.
went over to CSC to look, also no luck. Left some stuff with Priss to sell. saw some stuff which i'm interested to get. but curbed it and went over to Vivo.
Bought Don's house warming gift and went over to cantoment. sat in the police station to chill while waiting for the time to go over as well as the rest to arrive.
The food was good. the view from the sky garden was fantastic.
