Its a tuesday afternoon and the entire family, excluding my parents, are sitting in front of the computer.

I dont know whether it happens in other home, but I feel that we are somehow incapable of leaving our computers and internet connection behind. Just imagine what happens if the internet access is disconnected in my house. This inability to do something else without the internet is really frightening me.

My brother and sister are stuck on the computer almost 80% of the waking time and its sickening. I hardly see my sister except for like twice a day (during the hols) - when she comes out of her room to take her meals or use the washroom.

Not that im a saint when it comes to this issue but theyre really getting closer to be a slave to their computers. And im worried.

Send Danny a Postcard

Two blog posts in quick succession, that means Im terribly bored!


My mother made a comment on the way I look is somehow comparable to the number of days spent at home.


Clean shaven Danny means that I had went out at least once within 24 hours
Caveman Danny (with the entire facial hair set up) means that I had not been out of my house for the past 1 day.

Dont anyone find it troublesome to keep a clean shaven face? I do! But I have to do it because I look damn funny with facial hair and it ages me by at least 5 years. Many are saying that I'm already in my fourth year, I'm not THAT old alright?!


Everyone's going overseas for their summer hols, guess who's not?
That's why Im like asking anyone that i know to send me a postcard when theyre overseas.


The above is from Kahhui. From his almost unreadable handwritting, I can see that he's really having a ball over in Hokkaido. I wonder what does 'people here are fantastic' mean? hahahha.

Anyway he's back and Ive yet to see him. I heard he came to the PC Show and he didnt even visited me on the sixth floor. Now I have some reservations on whether to make that 'contribution' to FOC hahahhaa.

Yeah, I know my address's on the postcard. So send me one if youre reading this and having a blast overseas!

Please have a clearer display picture for your facebook account? Preferably one that shows your face so that I know who's adding me. Not that Im popular or anything but I dont normally add people that Im not familiar with.

Somehow people are just adding me to increase their friend count. Secondary school classmates that NEVER talked to me in my four years there are starting to add me. It's called 'friends' for a reason!!!

(The above doesnt apply if youre a pretty girl. Yes, I'm that pragmatic!)

Days of Living Hell

Saw shining's title and decided to used the same.

I used to think that sales should be a relatively easy job but after 4 days of the PC Show. I got to change my tune and tell myself NEVER to do something like this again.

Standing from from 12-9 sure makes one cranky at the end of the day. I think that I have stronger calf muscles from all that standing.

The best thing about it? 30 dollars goes to FOC since its a canvassing drive. On the bright side, I managed to pocket 20 dollars per day.

Anyone tried this CP shrimp wonton? It's absolutely awesome! I just had one box the other day and I can say that it taste better than some of the wonton I get in the coffee shop near my house. I mean where can you get one whole prawn in a wonton these days. Though its a tad expensive, I feel its worth every single cent.

I really need to keep my temper in check.

Work work

Taking stock in a warehouse, shouldnt be that difficult right?

Somehow, it involves lots of moving and my entire body's aching from it. The things I do for the money =/

The worst thing was that sengs was supposed to help me, but that lucky bastard got to make some deliveries with a dispatch driver that's an absolute slacker.

Tried the new ice cream outlet at westmall that gregory strongly recommended. Now, if gregory said something's good, it must be good.

And it's awesome. One of the better ice cream I had tried. It's hidden at the corner of the sportslink where a murder took place years ago.

So where do we start?

Let's start on a Sunday where we had a gathering of the OG, organised by sengs. Went to a boardgame store (someone got to give a name to these kind of places), similar to your Mind Cafe and Settler's, on Second Avenue.

Everyone's like complaining the ulu'ness of the place, but it's fine with me because I'm real familiar with the entire stretch of Bukit Timah/Dunearn Road from my days travelling to the novena area.

The food's just mediocre. The mushroom soup sucks, too mushroom-y for my palate. The boardgames and cards are in great condition.

Go to their website for more information. I think due to its ulu'ness it's easier to get seats, but the place's rather small.

Seniors "due to manpower constrains" camp on the following day.
Pictures on facebook, go search under jiahe's albums.


Met a bunch of interesting people from afth and naf. The first day was spent running around campus. Camo cream overkill. Got to know LT 19A inside out. Stepped into innovation centre for the first time since i came to ntu. Some trees isnt a good description for a location. Went home at night to sleep on my comfortable bed =) I dont think i missed anything in the night because almost my entire group went home and the rest probably will be hanging with their own groups within cac.

Four more joined the group on the second due to our pathetic number. Tested amazing race. Island creamery wasnt opened when we reached serene centre =( Long wait at the botanic gardens. Had a filling lunch at BK before doing some jumping (ughhhh) and even more eating (ughhhhhhhh) right after that. Managed to finish second! A great suprise since we set off from school second from last.

Confidence walk in the graveyard at 8pm. Paired up with danielle and missed out 2/3 of the route as we skipped the first station. Rather suprised that she will talk about that with me.

To sum it all up: I'm glad that i'm not a sub com programmer!

Noticed someone having a mood swing during those two days. And nobody's telling me ANYTHING!!!

Federer better win this year's french open.
Nadal out. Murray out. Djokovic out.

It's like the whole thing's rigged.
