Better to slack during Recession

the exams are over and I'm living the life of a 宅男 at the moment.

looking for a job although not very active since the economy is bad and no unknown callers from potential companies so far.

contemplating the possibilities of part time jobs but only if they are short term and interesting and hopefully e-business related so i can learn something.

I felt reassured when I realised that my friend who got 2nd upper honours is slacking as well heh. he told me "Now the opportunity cost of slacking is lower ".

I guess he is right to a certain extent since I haven't had much luck so far in the job hunt might as well take the chance to relax a bit before i enter the working world where you work long hours and have little holidays.

Maybe i should compile a list of the things I want to do while I have the time to do it since working life can be tiring and leave you little time to do many things.

The only problem now is that I have a lot of time but little money $$$ to do the things I want so I got to shortlist some cheap or FREE activities to do in order to survive a little longer.

S Factor Finals

Its down to 2 girls : Sonia and Kay Kay.





I sort of expected kay kay to enter the finals from episode 1 as she's one of the prettiest and most familiar face on tv after girl on girl and other shows which I can't remember.

Didn't expect Sonia to go all the way and I find her quite an underdog since she's so bitchy on screen and she does not portray a very positive aura compared to the rest of the girls.

I think next sunday would be the finals so who do you think will win it ?

While looking up for more info on Kay Kay I came across an old video of her in another program call Chick vs Dick featuring her and Paul Twohill. I gotta say its pretty interesting and funny !
Some of the challenges are quite innovative and you can check it out in the video below.

The cute girl

Saw cute girl again today while on the train back home. I wonder why our paths keep crossing this week.

The last time i saw her was just 2 days ago near the bus interchange and she still looked as cute as ever except that she curled her hair now instead of straight. So who's the cute girl ?

I don't really know lol. First time I noticed her was at school in lecture and she caught my attention being so cute and all but i never actually had the courage to get to know her or anything.

But from past experience cute looking girls usually aren't as cute when you get to know them haha.
She has the kind of face that is round and big eyes and look like she hasn't aged since secondary school and I think she can pass off as one easily if she's in uniform.

Star trek and sandals

I was walking around and suddenly the sandals strap gave way. being close proximity to west mall I had no choice but head to the nearest shoe shop to get a new pair before I have to go on barefoot.

Since I had no idea which brand is better, I decided to check out the brand of the broken one i was wearing. "BODYMASTER" sounds cool enough so I went to Bata but unfortunately they do not have this brand so I walked around to look for it.

After that I think I finally found the brand at sportslink =).

I think bodymaster is more comfortable than power sandals which i used to wear.

Star Trek



My bro and me went to catch the movie since I was free and there was no other movies to watch after Wolverine.

Although I had totally no background on the story, I totally enjoyed the movie as the scenes were really fantastic with all the space shuttles and weird looking people all around.

Despite that fact that the movie is slightly more than 2 hours, the entire movie was pretty action packed leaving the audience little time to sit back before some fighting or shooting takes place again. That was also part of the reason why I had problems following the storyline in the movie.

wonder when will it come a time where we can just teleport place to place.

I didn't understand how could the bowl shaped hair Spock had in the movie could become famous again in the future. Oh well that's how unpredictable the future is.

How to avoid tearing when cutting onions

Ever had the experience of tears filling your eyes when you cut onions ?



here is a quick tip you can try to prevent this from happening.

First, take a slice of bread ( a small piece will do ), and place it in your mouth when you are cutting the onion.

You will realise that you won't be tearing at all !

Sounds incredible ? try it yourself.

Retro : Back to the 90's

I was randomly surfing youtube and came across these 2 Ch 8 dramas which were really popular back in the 90's.
