last night 
the gates of hell will be closed after tonite... and according to chinese tradition, it's time to burn incense and offerings in the streets for roaming ghosts as they search for food, clothes, money - even fake teeth! (for biting the food i guess)

so i went downstair wif all the offerings tat mum has bought this afternoon. this was the first time i'm doing and i tried to choose a nice spot wif softer soil so i could plant the incense sticks... laying out all the stuffs, i mumbled a few words of prayer... then i started to burn the papers and hell money! the whole process can be quite fun and gratifying! in fact, i spent most of the time simply staring at the warm dancing flames!!

quite a few passer-bys were staring at me as though i'm a ghost!! fuck off lah.. when i was younger, i didnt believe in the burning of incense and offerings.. the bottomline was - i didnt believe in the existence of the 4th dimension! but as u grow older, u will tend to get more paranoid... personally i think tat one's luck got alot to do wif the amount of deeds he does. it's not tat i believe in ghosts now (i wont believe unless i see one myself, but hopefully i'll never get to see one), juz tat i'm someone who believe in destiny and retribution. do u?

day of a saleman 
Sunday, August 24, 2003

  mum is into another business again. this time round, she wanna sells pine-apple tarts! yes, u heard it! homemade pine-apple tarts!! at first i was rather unsupportive becoz pine-apple tarts are so easy to make in every home. so wad's so special abt our tarts? but an idea or rather a spite of entrepreneurism striked me.. telling me that this is it! this might juz be my long awaiting opportunity to make a name for myself! if ppl's "Gao Luck" can make a fortune, then why cant mine? imagine 3 to 4 yrs down the road, the name DYLAN will be associated with Singapore Number 1 Homemade Pine-apple Tarts! wooaahhh!!

ermm.. *waking up frm my little dream* so i became a salesman this afternoon. i carried 5 containers in my nike bag and began my quest! i chose the block opposite my place becoz it's only 8 storey high.

*ding dong*
dylan - "halo auntie, gd afternoon!" *big friendly grin*
auntie - "yes?!"
dylan - "i'm promoting our homemade pineapple tarts. it's selling at a special price and if u purchased 5 or more, we will deliver them right to your doorstep!"
auntie - "pine-apple tarts??!!" *
dylan - "err.. yes! our tarts are specially made by.." *interrupted half-way*
auntie - "dun wan! buy before liao!!" *close door*
dylan - "auntie.. wait!" *sigh*

but i didnt give up! not so easy! i tried again and again... only at the 5th floor i managed to sell my first set! i was totally over-joyed and motivated at the same time! then in less than 2 hrs, i managed to clear all my sets and earned a remarkable profit. mm.. not so bad for my first time!!

this could well be wad i'm gonna do for my weekends now! at least i'm not slacking my sunday away. but this small sales couldnt contain my ambitions! i wanna do something bigger than this... and i'm very optimistic abt my plan! anyone interested in being my new venture's partner can let me know. who knows? we might juz be the next Singapore Young Entrepreneur Award winners..

zouk party 
Thursday, August 21, 2003

  went zouk last night with the usual ex-MPB kakis - lucas, robin, chiu, etc... there was this stupid DJ contest participated by mostly "mohamad" and was utterly disappointed to see so many "ah-bengs" there.. heck! juz dance our own. lucas has a new stylish look with a gootie.

saw a long lost sec1 fren of mine. we smiled at each other as memories of the past flashed back across our mind. but we didn't manage to talk to each other as her bf pulled her away to another dance area.

we danced all the way to 3am and departed. i was kind enough to send fongie home as i really pity him for he still has to reach camp early the next day, or rather next couple hours. as for me, i'm OFF todae! hurray!!

so hungry now..

Goodbye Girl

All your life you've waited for love to
come and stay
And now that I have found you, you must
not slip away
I know it's hard believin' the words you've
heard before
But darlin' you must trust them just once
more... 'cause baby
Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean
we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't
be long away
'Cause the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back to you.

I know you've been taken, afraid to hurt
again
You fight the love you feel for me instead
of givin' in
But I can wait forever, a-helpin' you to see
That I was meant for you and you for me
...so remember

Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean
we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart you still
will have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
'Cause now you're home at last...

Artist: David Gates

Album: Love Together

volcanic red hp 
Sunday, August 10, 2003

  juz bought the sony ericsson T610 yesterday... yeah! one more item off my wishlist!! the phone is rather complicated to use. not as user-friendly as nokia but it has more to offer than any nokia hp. it would be more fun if more ppl use it, coz of the blue-tooth feature.

boring afternoon it is. i'm downloading midis and pictures into my t610 now. waiting for the community shield match btw arsenal and manure. finally the EPL season is back..

arsenal rulez!

the gal next block 
Saturday, August 09, 2003

  this is the second time i took the same bus with her... i'm sure she has noticed me becoz we exchanged a few flashes of eye-to-eye contact (maybe she was wondering why this pervert keep staring at her). lolz! anyway, still remembered the last time, or rather the first time i saw her, i felt so woozy but yet happy for the next few days. felt like a small boy falling for the girl in the same class... mm.. dream on.......

i shld have grabbed the opportunity to say "hi" at least. yar.. say is always easier than done! hopefully i'll have the courage to talk to her if i met her again. wish me luck!

money, lies & sex OOC 
Wednesday, August 06, 2003

  why am i not in camp at this time? well.. i'm taking my guard rest! anyway, this weekend is our National Day. let me wish everyone a happy holiday!!

was toking to the OOCs on the money spent by SAF to train each soldier. one of them said it takes 7 million dollars to fully train a pilot! mm.. tat sounds scary but quite possible. then another added tat each officer costs 1 million dollar!! i have doubts over his fact on this! if it's real, tat means i muz have costed SAF at least $300,000 then, coz i OOC during the air force service term. din know i'm so precious and valued....

the great escape 
Sunday, August 03, 2003

  juz came back jogging frm NTU. as i cut through the halls, ran into 2 security guards. they asked where i was gg so i told them i'm frm hall 17 (wonder if there's a hall 17 in NTU)... then i sped away quickly!! *puke* so close! my stamina has dropped tremendously since i entered manpower. back then, especially my days in SISPEC, i could run more than 9 kils without resting. no joke! really fit like nobody business!! haha.. but now.. haiz~

should start treating my fitness and gym more seriously. dont wanna waste all the effort i've put in SISPEC and definitely dont wanna ORD as a fatso! mm.. muz find myself another motivation and goal in order to push myself... OCS's gym really sux! big it is but all its machinaries are old and rusty!
