Grand Advisor Says

hi peeps, i am here to make my debut official entry.... and it's concerned with official business, so to say.... THE LOCKER!

okies, and so i have obtained the form for registering the locker. here's some info that i can extract from the form itself.

the locker application depends on a successful booking of an empty locker that might be available. the first year charges, $81, includes $9 charges for the padlock. we do not have to pay for the padlock for subsequent years and can keep the padlock upon graduation... oh wells, moving on. we do have to enclose a cheque of $81 together with the application form. everyone, please approach your parents and ask them to issue a cheque of $81 to KAICHI TRADING COMPANY. (feel free to contact me for more details) relax, we'll definitely pay our rightful share.

we are obliged to fill up the form with the particulars of anyone within us and send to the company that manages the lockers within NYP. on top of that, successful application would indicate that we'll have the locker number, confidential padlock number and the date of rental expiry. oh ya, please be responsible enough to exercise discretion and not disclose the code to anyone else/ even share the locker with some friends.. this is due to the reason that our locker is being shared amongst the 8 of us... i do not want to see any conflicts arising from stolen items. so in other words, its for the saving of unwanted troubles.

valuable items must not be kept within lockers. no food and beverages to be included.. but i think can violate this a bit. poly and the company would reserve the right to check our lockers at any time. so offensive and illegal items might be confiscated without warning. if need be, relevant authorities might also be informed. users must not modify nor affix any additional structure or parts to the locker. no posters, papers or stickers (i think some students have already violated this rule... hmm) or adhesive materials be pasted onto the interior or exterior of the locker.

actually, in other words, some of the things like partition boards thatwe have discussed might not work.. so read this and post your comments... i had a hard time typing this... byez

Updates(:

Hey peeps! It seems that I have not been blogging for a short period of time.. Some of us may have already started their TEP, and I think that meeting up will be a problem.. And some of you may know, my timetable just SUCKS. -SCREAMS- *Dragon, please try to schedule your timetable like almost the same as me okie?*Thanks!
Actually, I feel quite weird without you guys when I go to school.. I miss the time where we will wait for each other near the shopping arcarde.. And we will race against time just to tap our lanyard.. (:
Hmm... you all won't be there waiting for my arrival anymore.. I dunno who else (would-be friends) can accept my lateness.
okay. Enough of it. Later you all cry.. OPPS!

Latest update on me, myself and I.

Thanks.. I gotta update my own blog! (:
TATA.
God bless,

My future...

Before I really get into the main topic of this post, I want to apologise for not putting the time spent here to blog about the second part of the outing. I really want to blog this down again before I forget. I would have to say it might be boring. So please endure with me. I promise to get the post done as soon as possible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this age of 17 going onto 18 now, I bet most people wouldn't think as far as me. Some have might, and some would just live each day as they pass by. I always say, "Stay happy and things will change for the better." I couldn't have said it better myself but being a normal human being like everybody else, I do not practise what I preach. Come to think of it, who does?

Jokes aside. Whatever inspired me to pen this today has really made me wonder how my future is going to be like. I have dreams. Everyone else does. Even a dying man has dreams. Sadly his dreams are going to be left as just that and nothing more. I am still healthy and have the chance to fufil all my dreams. What more can I ask for?

For the past two weeks working at my Dad's factory, I have come to realise that in another twenty years I would be an adult in the working society. Can I afford to continue being like what I am today? I see my parents getting up early everyday and the first thing they do is read the papers. Keeping it between all of us, I wake up every morning and still do not read the papers. I am still as ignorant as I was before. To many, I am perceived as someone who knows quite an amount of things. Be it general knowledge or women's things, I still find that I do not know a lot of things. For example, I am still not clear of my school fees. I know nothing of how the payment works. All I know is that my Mom is using her Central Provident Fund (CPF) to pay for it and I have to return the money to her when I work in the future.

Enough about thinking deep and being poetic which I may be failing terribly at. I am typing this down so that I would not forget what I have dreamed of in the future when I am at this age. I have it all planned actually. Every night before I sleep, I spend twenty minutes dreaming about my future. I really hope I can change all my dreams into reality.

Before taking the GCE O Level, I had planned what to study and what the course of my life is going to take. Amilia might have heard of this. I dreamed of taking a business course in Poly. Try to get into HR because I love interation with people. Get my Diploma and get a job concerning with HR. After saving enough money, quit my job and start a business myself I always dreamed of being my own boss. Many people upon hearing this, they ask me what kind of business I want to have. If I can tell what business I want to have in the future that would profit the most, I do not need to be here.

That is the main course of life I want to take. Work aside, I also dream of family. You all know how much I love kids. Just seeing my aunt having a child makes me so happy for her. I can imagine how much joy my kids will bring me in the future. From being in the womb to coming out into the world. Moving on the first step he take and the first time he calls me. Onto the first day he enrolls into school and then graduating from a University. Finally he goes into the work force and start a family of his own. All this can make me feel so happy just by seeing my kid grow from a fertilized ova which is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence to a grown adult who can manage his own family. I dream of having four children. Preferably two boys and girls. Why four? This is to prevent the situation I am in. I name it the second child syndrome, otherwise known as the middle child syndrome.

In my home now, I am constantly called to do numerous things. I have siblings too. However I am the one my parents always pick to do thing even though both my siblings can be rotting in some corner. Personal things aside. I have already named my kids. You all know that too. For the girls, older sister will be called Rui Ling, and the younger, Rui En. Boys would be, Rui Xiang, for the older brother and, Rui Ming, for the younger.

We would all then live in a house. Be it an HDB or private housing, there will definitely be a pool table. We would be all happy and cosy together. My wife would be someone with beautiful long hair with the best personality that anyone could have. I would let her have the choice of a being a career woman or home maker. I would come home everyday from work and the first thing I would like to hear are my children's greetings. Followed by a kiss on the cheek from my lovely wife and dinner is prepared. All the nice home cooked food.

Let this carry on for a couple of decades more and I will soon be retiring and waiting to carry my grandchildren. Hoping to pass on my wisdom which I have collected over the years to the next generation.

Most people would think that I am crazy for thinking this far. I would say I am just ahead of time than the rest of my mates. I remember hearing this story from someone.

Two brothers live on the 80th floor of the highrise building. One day the lift broke down and they decided to climb the stairs. So with the heavy bags they had, they climb the first twenty floors. By the 20th floor, they were tired. They decided to leave their bags and carry on climbing. from the 20th floor to the 40th floor, they climbed the stairs happily. Talking and joking all the way. They were enjoying this climb. Again, they felt tired when they reached the 40th floor. From 40th floor onwards, they climbed. This time they both were shouting and quarelling with each other. Slowly, they reach the 60th floor. They were really tired and decided to finish the climb without arguing. The rest of the climb to the 80th floor was a slow and quiet one. Ultimately, when the two brothers reached their home, they realised that they left the house keys in the bag that is resting at the 20th floor.

Sorry about that chunk of words. What I am trying to say is that climbing the stairs can be very much the same as our life. The first twenty floors will be difficult becuase of the responsibilities as children and teenagers. As we reach the 20th floor, which I also mean twenty years of age, we would leave those burdens behind and live in our prime. We would be daring and enjoying the freedom like the brothers have enjoyed the climbed from the 20th to 40th floor.

Soon age is setting in. We are not as healthy as before. We do not have the energy to be daring but rather we are a little pissed off because good things come to an end. It came too fast. This time, we are regreting for the things we didn't do and we start to complain more about things we do not like. Slowly, when we reach sixty years old, we tend to resign to fate and just live our lives quietly. Just like the brothers that agreed to stop arguing and climb the stairs quietly. We live like this for the next twenty years of our lives. About finding out that the keys are left at the 20th floor, this means that when we are nearly at the end of our whole life journey, we will remember and savour the memories that we had during the first twenty years of our lives even though it is the most difficult.

Are your eyes getting tired? My hands are too. I am glad that I got this down before I lost all inspiration. What are all your plans in the future? I suppose this is just a small part of me that carries on this dreams. It gives me something to look forward to. As for now, live life to the fullest and stay happy so that things will change for the better!

Pardon me for this naggy post. For those who really spent some time reading all these. I thank you. This is the life I want to live. So do work hard for your dreams and I wish you the best!

1st April 2006 April's Fool day!

On the decree of the Empress Dowager Pocky Roan, I, a measly small historian, is hereby ordered to document and narrate the day, on 1st April 2006. On this very memorial day, Empress Dowager and her associatiates gathered at Marina South indulge in a little wine and dine. (There wasn't any ale. Sadly.) I am honoured that the Empress Dowager invited me to their little fiesta.

So the day started with little ol` me arriving first at the rendevous point. (Of course I had to be there the earliest! I still wanna keep my rice bowl and my head.) Not long later, the Empress' favourite torturer arrived.




The famous, or should I say infamous Imperial Torturer, Shu Yun.



I always shudder with fear whenever she appears. It seems as though she always has a whip handy just in case I misbehave and that will be the last you see of me. We were both waiting silently when suddenly I heard...

"Accompany me to shop or you shall taste the wraith of my whip! lest I tell Empress Dowager."

I turned around hoping that it was not my worst fear coming true but fate has another plan in stored for me. It was Shu Yun speaking to me. Horrors of all horrors! I meekly agreed and followed behind her. A few short steps later, Parco Bugis Junction was in view. A thousand thoughts were constantly running in my mind.

"What am I going to do if she lashes out her whip?"

"How am I going to get myself out of this predicament?"

I was in peril. Time just seem to pass so slowly. I raised my head and saw that we have already arrived outside The Coffee Bean where my cell phone rang. I heaved a sigh of relief and was glad that the phone has saved me from nervous mood I was in. I fumbled with the phone in my pockets in a while before drawing out to answer. It was Prime Minister Rabbit's wife, Xiu Hui a.k.a Da Jie.

Out of respect, I immediately knelt down to the ground and was chanting, "Long live Da Jie!" Until I was issued the command to rise, I stayed on the ground with the phone plugged to my ear. Da jie asked us where we were and I was told that they were arriving soon.

The Imperial Torturer and I awaited their arrival outside The Coffee Bean. Upon the sighting of them, we knelt down and paid our respects again. Now the couple was dressed lavishly from head to toe. Jewels, pearls and not to mention gold. I hung my head low so as to avert their stares.



Prime Minister Rabbit and Da Jie.


"Please enjoy your time shopping while waiting for the rest to arrive. I was also informed by Princess Shereen and The Empress Dowager's sister, Jie Yi that they will arrive later than intended. Grand Advisor, Amilia, and Cousin of Princess Shereen, Joycelin, and her beloved is on the way. As for The Empress Dowager herself, she is currently in the church worshipping the heavenly bodies," I said.

All I heard was a distinct, "very well" and they carried on with their shopping. Soon every one arrived only with the exception of Princess Shereen and Dowager's sister, Jie Yi and Dowager herself. We walked around Parco Bugis Junction aimlessly for a few moments before deciding to place a reservation at the eatery where we are intending to have steamboat at.

The walk seemed to last forever although it was just short one. I could not imagine what would be served there. The place was small and cramped but it has a little warm feeling about it. We stood outside and wondered a bit before the host of the eatery came out and...

"Come come! How many perople are there?" while cranning her neck behind to look for her assistant. "Dian Xiao Er! Hurry up! The prime minister is here! Clean the table and the seats. Offer him the best wine we have!"

I could see the shop assistant scrambling to his feet and rushed off into the kitchen and searching for the wine. I was about to tell the host that we are still considering whether to eat here when the Prime Minister quipped up.

"You! Lowly historian. Go and taste the food to see if it is nice and safe for us to stomach. Go or else your head will roll or I will set our Imperial Torturer on you!"

I turned around and saw that Shu Yun was happily polishing her whip, poised for any oncoming command that the Prime Minister might give. There was a smirk on her face while she looked at me with terror reign over her head.

"Ye... ye.. ye.. yes sir! I will go try the food. Just do not set The Imperial Torturer on me."

As I stepped into the eatery, there was a vile odour that invaded my nostrils. I held my breath and bravely stepped into the barren place where no plants or animals can survive. (I mean that the food sucks, literally.) As I went to sit down, the shop assistant is already on his way out with a plate of food.

What I saw on the plate is beyond my wildest imgaination.

"Is this even fit for dogs to eat?!"

I was trembling as I stole a glimpse at The Prime Minister. He nodded his head and signaled me to go ahead and test it. I took another quick glimpse at Shu Yun. She was still polishing her whip, habouring hopes of being able to use her weapon. I took the spoon and scooped some food. Raising it to my mouth, I could smell...


To be continued...

Any characters mention in this story is completely fictatious. Anyone with the same name as the characters is purely coincidental. The writer's imagination is working overtime and this is his result of writing. I hope you do enjoy it. Part two will be coming out soon. Please be patient.

Locker...

I am glad that we met for steamboat. It has indeed been a long time since all of us went out together. I will be out of Singapore from 14th April to 16 April. So if you all are planning to meet again, please meet before those dates ok?

Anyways, after the meeting, me and Amilia talked on the phone and discussed about our locker. All I can say is that we have taken the liberty to think up of what we want our locker to be.

First and foremost, the cost of the locker is $81. Since there are eight of us, you girls will pay $10 each and I will pay the extra dollar. Cost is settled.

As we will be getting the bigger locker, there will be lots of things that we can put inside. The thing now is that I want to create the locker as a hub for us. Making it compulsory to go there at least once a day for each of us. Not only will you all go there to check up for notices that we have put up, also as a place where we can exchange things. I will further explain about how I am gonna transform the locker into a meeting hub for us. We will see now what Amilia and me have thought of putting inside.

I am going to list them.

- A notice board - A notice board is so that we can tack up our timetable and then we can know where everyone is. This will serve as a good guideline to as when we can meet.

- Planks to be made as shelves - As our locker is the big one, there will be a lot of space. We do not want to waste the space above in the locker so we have thought of going to Ikea to buy some planks where we can hopefully make shelves so we can put more things.

- PADS! And maybe Menstruation Pills. - Amilia thought of this. Please thank her for it. I personally do not mind the pads. So if anyone miscalculated and the red sea is about to erupt, do approach the hub and grab one for instant comfort an relief. LOL~

- Candies and perhaps some snacks. Eg. Pocky, chips, biscuits etc. - I am sure most of you would want to skip lunch sometime and also eat a little. So we have decided to put some foodstuff in it to ease your hunger. How we are going to share the cost for the food, I will explain later too.

- We also thought about putting some books and manga in there for your reading pleasure. - I will put the series of Naruto in there for everyone to use and some books to read so that you all can use it when you have free time, such as waiting for someone to arrive. Please handle the books with care though.

- post it! - Post it! will serve as a simple reminder to everyone who needs to use it to remind the rest of us.

That is all I can remember. If there is anything you want to add, please mention it and tell us the reason.

Another thing is that I have thought of a weekly or monthly (based on all of your opinions) contribution to the fund. That will be how we will support the cost of food and candies in the locker. It need not be a big amount but I suppose if we go by monthly, $6 from the each of us will be enough to last us for a month.

As what I mean about the locker being a hub, I want to make it such that you all will always find the need to visit the locker at least once a day so that we can keep in touch. This is very crucial to whether we can still be as close as before. So please give comments and do participate in this discussion. I would like to hear from all of you.

This is brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood Dragon.
