woke up n decided to take a peek at the newspapers.. found it quite an enjoyable read.. I guess there is realli lots to take out from the newspapers.. though i just skip past the articles on how the H1N1 thg is progressing.. cuz seriously.. life has to go on.. n i realli dun care tta much how it is spreading.. cuz when action focused coping does not improve the situation, emotional focused coping.. ignoring abt the thg in my case, is the best bet to feeling good n coping well with the situation as my psyche texts have taught, haha



aniwaes read about this contract for differences thg.. which is a high risk investment for stocks.. damn interesting.. then again.. im not sure if I will dabble with stocks even if I have the money.. guess my mum has had great influence to me in terms of educating the concept of "gambling is bad".. plus my dad kindof ignored me quite often when i went home cuz he was mahjonging with his frens.. so.. guess i wun be a stocks person la.. tho i wldnt mind tryg out the lower risk kindof stocks..



read that the term 大耳隆, aka loansharks came about after a series of evolution after mixing with the different languages in different countries.. these thgs abt language fascinate me alot.. cuz "gostan" (U-turning) for example, came from "goes a turn" and evolved to wad it is now after localised mis-pronounciation.. so pple have speculated two origins for the "daerlong" term, which for convenience i will call as DEL.. 1st, the early Indians who were legal moneylenders in singapore (chattiers if im nt wrong) always wore huge earrings, giving rise to the name DEL.. another speculation is that because the early loansharks have the habit of of putting a coin in their ear.. so as time went by their ear holes enlarged, giving rise to DEL.. this was refuted however because in older times, a dollar coin for example could buy one a meal and a reasonable amount of thgs when we are on the streets.. so many singaporeans and not onli the loansharks, have the habit of putting a coin in their ears..



so actualli, the term DEL kindof originated from America.. people who were aggressive and used unscrupulous means to achieve their ends are often called "sharks" by the americans.. so when the moneylenders started to use violence and other unreasonable means to collect their debts, the term "loan shark" came about.. which then spread to hongkong.. where these people were call "sha1 yu2 loan" (shark in cantonese combined with "loan" in english).. which then evolved to (dai3 yi long1) somehow.. and finally, singapore created the short form of "ah long" which is onli used locally or in malaysia and not in places like china or hongkong.. i think its dammmmnnn interesting man.. wad abt u? haha

Met up with a few of my frens recently... n gonna meet more next week.. but importantly, cherylene is coming back tonight! hope she can meet me 2ml tho =( if she say must family time then sianzzzz.. on the other hand my internship is realli coming thru n hopefully will start soon.. cuz bumming arnd aint my cup of tea.. tho i admit if i were rich and go out n travelling everywhere, i might be feeling otherwise.. the person told me she was delayed in replying to me due to a death in her family.. so hope all is well now..


recently these few catching up sessions have been really quite "catching up" cuz alot seems to have happened.. One just broke up and is in low spirits.. sang ktv with her 2dae.. i remember when i broke up the last time, she cancelled her tuition assignment and came to sing K with me immediately.. sometimes I meet frens to listen to them about the bad stuff that have happened recently in their lives.. but tho its never realli nice to hear these thgs, it never fails to remind me that i am an inportant fren.. cuz important frens dun share onli the up but the down sides too.. but im glad that she is enterg graduate medicine school.. cuz not many dare to give up their current job to spend another four years to pursue a dream career.. while many of us walk down the rong way but never muster enuf courage to right it..


Another one told me she is getting married.. though not soon, they have like balloted a flat or bought a flat at punggol and have plans to get married by the end of next year.. abit worried cuz she always had problems at home and since long time ago she has told me that she wants to get out of the house and have her own family asap.. n tat she wants to get married by wad age and everythg.. somehow im worried that the decision for marriage might have been influenced by her urge to get out of the house.. then again, i think my worries might be uncalled for since marriage is such a big thg cldnt have been driven by such reasons purely.. so im quite happy that she has finally found the right guy =)


met victoria recently to play wii.. and she was like screaming cuz we played resident evil and we were like surrounded by zombies.. n blood was like spilling all over, haha.. interestingly, when i met victoria this time, her bf was in the area after her sales assignment and wanted to come n meet us.. so i told victoria why not? haha.. so got to noe victoria's bf alot better after our 2 hours of chattg at gloria jeans.. i think he is a nice guy n importantly, is there to support victoria when she was very down.. maybe she will be next on the list of my frens gettg married? haha


joseph on the other hand told me thru sms tat he is not taking honours animore.. cuz he tried hard this sem but di ged gd results.. in some sense, i switched to arts cuz i loved the fact that they teach us to appreciate that the world is grey and that there is never a totally correct answer.. yet it is this thing that makes me somehow defeated.. as im unable to argue the way the lecturers want somehow.. so i realli understand wad joseph is going thru.. was told by a fren tat perhaps i havent been working hard enuf.. actually i wish i had past year papers to do with correct answers to check against.. i wished i had standard answers tat i could kindof memorise and practice non stop.. but i hated sciences for standard answers but now im gettg killed for the lack of it.. grades vs interest.. its realli a hard choice rite? haha.. or maybe i realli nvr work hard enuf.. we shall see nxt sem.. afterall im not the kind hu give up easily..



toked to another fren on msn n some thgs realli came to my mind and made me abit angry perhaps.. one fren was telling me tat she is quite upset that her ex bf doesnt seem happy and is tryg to pretend to be happy.. realli.. this has happened to me before.. sometimes gals, or even guys expect to be ultra gd frens immediately with the person they just broke up with recently.. and see them smile and be like what they used to be.. like me.. im damn close as a fren to linjie tho we used to be together, but tats cuz we have both found new people in our lives and have hence moved our frenship to a different level.. yet if im not the one hu suggested the breakup, and have to see my exgf get attached to someone new, with myself being still single, i would think going on with my life trying my best to be happy marks a strong n the best possible recovery a guy in my situation can have.. so if ya are one of the people hu wanna suggest a breakup n expect thgs to go back to the "good friends" stage within a few months, think abit.. cuz some people do not even wanna see their "ex" ever in their lives again..


maybe im just thinking too much bumming around at home.. but for all my frens, wherever you are heading for, whatever problems you are facing, whatever decisions you have made, may everythg be smooth going and turn out well.. n hope i can always stay in touch with all u guys n never let these frenships which take years to build just vanish into thin air.. take care =)
