to be edited tml.

i need to post something here. havent updated properly in awhile.

probably do it tml, im starting to become a yawn-machine.

and im shedding all over the house.

ROME.

sunburns are painful.

well, heres another post completely irrelevant to my life.

yesterday ethan drew me a map. its just a simple A4 sized paper with lots of lines that lead to nowhere. after he gave it to me he insisted i use his map and even taught me how to use it. naturally i entertained him. in the end, he insisted i keep the map because it was drawn for me. i told him okay and left it on the table saying i'd take it later.

before i left grandma's hse he ran out and asked me if i remembered to take my map. i obliged since it meant so much to him.

"you must bring back home and keep it okay jerome kor kor"

realised i left my bag behind and went back to fetch it. ethan came again and immediately questioned me about my map. i showed it to him and he smiled. "bye-bye"

the thing is, when i took the lift down i had half a heart to throw the paper away but decided against it.

the lesson i learnt:

the value of a paper is just 3 cents.
the value of this paper to remake is just 5 cents. (photocopy)
the value of this paper to ethan is priceless.
the value of his trust in me is priceless.

the price of something is not measured by its material worth. it is measured by its importance to us and the effects it brings to a person.

a pair of versace glasses may be worthless to the blind.

a simple "good night" sms may cost 5 cents but the happy sleep the receiver gets is priceless.

its the small things in life that make it worth living. it was a reminder to me.

and yes, i shall keep my map.

better yield better results

whats your definition of perfection?

today, i am going to do something. i am going to change.

and i am doing it for myself.

like a sharp jolt in a shortcircuit before the resistor bursts and the high voltage arcs across the burning fibres, it suddenly dawned on me. i am not a failure but neither am i a success. why? because im still stuck in the middle.

like they say, its hard to change yourself but harder to change everyone else.

its easy to say this and all but actions speak louder than words.

from today, i will try to cut down on all my vulgarities.

i will try my best to pay attention in lessons.

i will stop insulting random people. (THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT AND WILL TAKE A LONG TIME)

the above 3 task will be deemed rather impossible but i must prove to myself that if i wanna do it, i can do it.

i will be a success.

today, the start of school. the start of my 4th sem. the start of a new chapter of my life.

woke up late and luckily checked my timetable. i thought lessons started at 1. it was 12. lucky. lessons throughout was pretty dull with the intro-s and stuff.. ACC released early and had lunch at FC3 with the class and talked about our holidays. its good seeing old faces once again.

WHY you so sad? are you oKAY mossie?

other than that today was kinda lame. i miss sailor. jfyi sailor switched classes and ps-ed us. TT

sunday.. spent sleeping late and watching shows. met quan and ant for dinner at BPP. ozy ps-ed but he got OMNIA OMNIA. lol! antenna was so emo but he die also dunwan tell me. end up prolly i think he rejected a girl or something.. WAH SEH ANNTENNA SEHHH. anyway burnt another hole in my alr burnt pocket. jacks place = $$$.

friday, after work went to grandma's hse to get my bike (AGAIN) and cycled to the MM chalet. turns out i got my direction wrong and cycled really far away. some industrial park and all the china ppl i approached to ask for directions din understand english.

rome: erm, excuse me do you know where costa sands pasir ris is?
chinaman: waves in an annoying way at me
_|_ china ppl. factory jobs were created for you scums.

upon reaching i realised its EXACTLY the same chalet i been to on mon. just diff no. instead of B2 it was B11. had the BBQ blah blah blah. end up went to get mahjong table with senior (who graduated before i even enrolled) cant rmb his name also. LOL. end up playing mahjong with him, reeve and feng yuan (THE SUPER SENIOR. he's like 27.) end up the rest all so pro. lost 20 bucks. ROAR. +table money so total arnd 30. went upstairs to check my phone and fell asleep instantly. woke at 5+ 6.. talked sumore.. sent 2 ppl to the bus stop.. stopped by Mac and had breakfast with maomao. if you can recall i played mahjong with maomao the last MM chalet and my first FO camp.

the rest of the day was pretty dull. went to cycle alone at the park (coz only i had a bicycle) and ended up playing with 2 SKYES. one was exactly like skye and the other was totally black. they were damn cute and the old couple owners were friendly too. had chicken rice at downtown with reeve and junior and was starving. cycled back to grandma hse in the evening.

on the way back i saw this super cute white retriever. played with it too. wow im such a dog person and the owner was awesome too.

had dinner there with the entire lim family. since ma was overseas i got to sit infront with dad on the journey home. wow. rare. cool nonetheless.

oh ya i forgot on friday before getting my bike i went to white sands to get my fav cousin his birthday present since his bday was 10/10. his name's e10 too. ended up getting him a stitch soft toy from some gift shop since ethan's quite an adorable monster too.. the sales person looked at me like wanna laugh or something. WUTEVA.

happy 4th birday!

and also friday was my last day in office. i felt kinda sad that i had to leave all the nice people behind. haaiiizz. ITP was worth it working at OCBC. OCBC PEOPLE IF YOU ARE READING MY BLOG. this morn the first thing i thought about was all of you and work. shucks i do miss you guys abit. some pictures taken before i left the office.

oh no my post is getting really long but i still got alot of things to say.

i also had my first bloomberg course on friday. and then they were all telling me the free food outside is damn good blah blah. end up i went to take the buffet food and ended up getting scolded by the bitch auntie who took our plates away. damn malu TT. took revenge by stealing 2 packets of their chips and a snack bar. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

first thing i saw on bloomberg. our very own Mr K C making news headlines with Ferrochina. cool. the other cool thing about bloomberg is that we had to wear some tag with our photo on it even though we were just visitors.

drunk rome and the chalet 10/08

hey! gonna switch back to my old skin soon.. was just plain bored in office that time.

anyways, despite me being super sleepy and tired, i shall try my best to tell you about the Chalet.

lets start with something that is most memorable to me. this is the first time i've gotten so dead drunk.

anyhows, i think i'd better begin from the start.

after work, i went to collect my MC from dear dr tan and he happily charged me 17 bucks for some pills i was nv gonna use. i used the dizzy+headache thingy but he wasnt really convinced. tarpao-ed fish noodle for dinner. quan had cancelled plans to go together and was already there.

instead went to meet sis to go. do not be punctual if you are meeting yinghui. train-ed to pasir ris, grabbed my bike from grandma's and rode there.

upon entrance the sight of a slightly retard quan greeted and was soon coax-ed into playing their drinking game. was seriously out of luck and not even 10 minutes had passed before i had wolf-ed down like 10 shots of pure vodka. it tasted like shit too.

now i cant rmb much cept i drank more shots for dunno wad and ended up playing with quan, i can remember what he said.

quan: are u a pussy? can you even stand up? loser. *shows me loser sign*
me: f*ck you. *attempts to stand*
quan: rome u drink one i drink 5.
me: bring it man, bring it.

and i dunno wad happened next but i was lying on the floor. i can faintly hear nats "dont vommit on the floor or i'll beat the f*ck out of you". i rmb calling for a plastic bag, but i couldnt stop it and BWAAAAHHH.. i puked in the chalet. i KO-ed again.

next moment i was out of the chalet.

and i needa specially thank this few kind souls who helped me in my shittiest hour. a big and warm THANK YOU to LELE for cleaning up all my vommit. TECK for the company and my nigga bro FABIAN for whiping the vommit off my mouth with your handkerchief and letting me sleep on your leg even though it was so damn gay and i vommitted all over your leg anyway.

morning came too soon and because of my retard-ness we got to make some new friends in the form of our neighbour's chalet. they were cool. i was feeling like shit. they told me i puked like 14 times?

somehow i managed to grab my clothes and my bike and cycled back to the safe havern of grandma's. while cycling there again i had a pittstop to BUWAAACCKKKK. and ppl were staring but i didnt really give a shit anyway. reached, took a warm bath, drank some milo and took a nap. grandma is great.

woke and cycled back. the day was spent mahjong, watching dumb shows on tv (quan: i seriously wanna beat that kid up man), playing frisbee and jus hanging out. dope man. could eat properly without my entire oesophagus burning up and stuck to fluids.

was feeling much better and even managed to walk chris to the mrt. went back and my BEST FRIEND was there. with a BEST SONG. the best part of the lyrics is:

come and sing with me
thank you thank you.

LOL. the rest was all rubbish. BBQ-ed with chef teck and chicken wing cooker sis. oh ya and before that we played Ultimate.

me quan sis (ozy) VS fred le doggie

the game ended premature with le making a great catch but slipping and landing into dirty mud water. IT WAS HILARIOUS i was laughing my ass off. FLY LE FLY!

anw a moment that was priceless was when antenna attempted to talk to our neighbour's girls. i think the conv was abit like this

ant: hi
girl: i dont want to talk to you.

LOL. and she wasnt that good looking too. PWNED.

after that they managed to borrow 10 bikes from our other neighbours and we went night cycling. it was the shortest one ever and it kinda sucked. im so sorry for being such a lousy leader. didnt know if you were up for the LONG distance cycling anw.. seriously regret nv cycle further. HAIZ. should have left it to KING NAT.

went back and gots meself an hour's sleep.. cycled to grandma's, took a bath and in my drowsy state managed to find my way to office. yep. jie treat me lunch today at Han's. tyvm yo!

theres like still alotta stupid stuff that happened but i cant really rmb much. guess its time this post shall end.

oh ya, and if u were wondering why quan wasnt as seh-ed as me. his 5 shots were lemon tea. i only got to know this the next evening. bastards....

-RomE
you know what.
i really don't know.

cant see title for the blog :/

what a coincidence that i must blog about this.

feeling bored and not wanting to help the guy i kinda dislike with his stuff, i smartly proceeded down to RC to sit on the massage chair and listen to music.

lo and behold i met someone else there too. thank god it was not any of my colleagues.

WX and his friend. slacking also. LOL bbss ppl are just too good?

anw, weekend wasnt too bad. sat met quan fred and ant at beautyworld... had dinner at home coz ma volunteered to cook. Shes going macau on thurs till next fri.. T.T whos gonna wake me up? make my milo for me? buy dinner for me? <-- im such a materialistic bastard. rest assured i will try my best to pick her up on fri night. (unless my dad goes ROAR ROAR ROAR again)

sunday.. was expecting wei harn to ps me for his gf as usual but WHOOO HE DIDNT. we ended up going to princess to watch Connected. its pretty lame, if i was the guy there'd be no story.

me: hello?
china voice: *in mandarin* hello? dun put down the phone k, im in lots of trouble and i need your help.
me: fuck u china bitch go bother someone else. nnb ccb!! *close call*

anw after that we went to play frisbee at the field again with my 2 nephews. tried playing with 2, throw catch throw catch.. failed at long distance, short wasnt too bad though. i made one damn nice catch and got a orh-cheh for a prize. oh ya and i got zham-ed in the nose. it was so painful i bent down and the tears auto flow. accidentally hit jayven on his head also and now he got frisbee-trauma. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

dinner-ed at grandma's hse and celebrated my FAV COUSIN ETHAN's birthday.

thats all, going to the chalet later. still planning on how to get my MC.. GAH.

WHO LOVES MY NEW SKIN? WHOOOOOOOOOTS

yeap and i watch gossip girl until ep 14 already. and i might say, though the variables and characters are different, the scenarios are all kindof related. sometimes i just wish i had that close friend that you can tell anything to. (i've alr blogged about this in my private blog) what ever happened to 'best friends'? i still rmb-ed i could chat with my bestfriend on the phone.. i havent chat on the phone with someone for a looonnnnng time.

aiyo, so emo.

i better go listen to some happier songs like BEAMING by relient k.

anw, today had my lunch with 4 of my colleagues, ended up with me telling stories again. lol. i guess they were amused. lawl. end up 2+ 3 den go back office. and today i didnt do anything meaningful at all. its such a waste of life. considering its a gift.

looking forward to the chalets.. it had better be awesome.
