My Howaboutsomething.com is expiring soon, and i really can't be bothered to update there anymore.

I actually feel sad that howaboutsomething is expiring, and i haven't been giving it the deserved attention it should received. Call me lame, but i love howaboutsomething.com. It was the very first domain i bought, and it was actually a business idea which i effectively abandoned. It was a very simple business idea so i shall not say it, but has been practised almost anywhere. It just became a blog, out of nowhere. There is just this sense of connection, affiliation and belonging. Its like the fruit of your labour. Its just, a undescribable feeling.

Nope, the business idea is not a blogshop. Blogshop is just a trend. It will die. Some will stay. But most will die. Its just like bubbletea. One is good, 2 is fine. 3 is a crowd. Ever considered what happens when such a great idea is being copied by almost everyone? EVERYTHING is the same. Best part is that some may fail in one, but hop on to another, boarding on the exact same concept but with a different idea. Call them a never-give-up-attitude. I call them dumb.

I figured that as much as socialising is important, opinions are inevitable. Whats the use of pleasing everyone, if you yourself is not pleased. You live your life. When you are of logical sense, people will understand that, and will automatically be your friends. So no use going around, grabbing everyone's attention. So if you know you are doing that, STOP it. be yourself. I'm not finger pointing here. No one in my social circle is doing that. I repeat, NO ONE. So don't go around guessing who i am referring to. DO that, and i will be referring to you for being guilty. Your choice.


There has been so many things happening in my life, many of them are first experiences but definitely a blast of fun to me. There is so many things i want to tell everyone, but would never have the energy and time to type something so simple.

For instance, the first time i had a proper guys only outing today, albeit extremely last minute. I like the steadiness, the non-fussiness of everybody. Very enjoyable actually.

In fact, many things that happened today was a first and i'm not shy about being exposed to some of these things that are so simple at a not-so-early date.

1) Had my first proper guys only gathering.
2) Paid my first sushi buffet myself.
3) Falling asleep for a brief moment in a movie theatre.
4) Actually buying movie tickets as the main decider.
5) Actually went to Far East with a goal in mind.

Sometimes its nothing more than something regular for you, might not be for me. I'm just glad that i'm still learning new stuff, and i love independence. I love my family for giving me the chance to be independent in such a short span of time. FYI, i had to ask permission to go out even in Sec 4. Its that serious.

Next up, Its the confirmation of my vietnam trip in March. I applied for a chance to go for TP's Overseas internship attachment, and i got in. I'm really excited. Really really excited.

But its gonna last 2 months. I will miss my family. I will miss everybody. But its part of growing up. Its precisely this exposure that i need. The longest time i ever left my family for another country with no family members by my side was for 3days in KL. Even that, was on a educational trip. This time, i will be totally dependent on my own willpower and my 3 grpmates.

I don't know how i will react when im leaving the for the airport. 2 months. 2 months is a really long time to be gone from my family, but a really short time for all the work to be done there.

We shall see.

I also received my first cheque from google. yes, google. How much the payment is, is strictly confidential, only some that saw the cheque will know. I love it. When the cheque arrived in the mail, it was as if it was christmas! haha.

Public Speaking was a total failure for me. I was not on my usual speaking self. I was never that forgetful of my lines. I was never the kind to go blank in my mind while speaking. But it happened. SUCKS.

Been meeting HDDD to get to school recently, it was definitely a very nice experience and i would like to do it more often. haha. the exchanges of jokes are definitely funny, but the bloody sleepy me can't laugh for nuts. For those that know my usual laughing volume, imagine my laughing at 20% strength. Thats how quiet the bus is, that i actually have to limit the laughing volume to the standard giggles.

Its the next guys outing this coming thursday again. Hopefully, we will have time to go do some proper drinking. Been looking forward to it. Might involve some female classmates. Will ask them. How? I want to get a new bag. I want to get new slippers. I want to get new clothes. I want to get new stuffs everyday. I want to be Santa's best friend.

And thank god, i almost bought a pair of croc's slippers today. Luckily the size available was only available in full black. I will NOT spend $53.90 on a piece of black crap. NEVER. I call this, a blessing in disguise. But i'm in love with Timberland's shirts. Very nice. I like the semi-rugged look. Timberland is the real deal, the real effort put into design and pattern instead of most companies that just designs a picture to iron-print it on a shirt.

And went to wisma today and managed to window shop Nike Singapore. They have customizable shirt designs. I thought it was a splendid idea. Always have been a fan of Nike. Some might just call it a simple tick. To me, its a tick of approval. lol

So we were introduced to the new service and was detailedly introduced to it by this very well knowledged staff. She was splendid. She introduced the products in a non-pushy tone but yet was able to capture ur utmost attention on something explicitly expensive.

Shirt = $27.
Designs = $12 onwards.
Add-ons(letters) = $2 each.

Read from the papers, the staff working in Nike Singapore had to go through a test before being employed, which probably explains their knowledge for it. Nice shop, great staff. Singapore is definitely on its way to be comparing customer service with HongKong. huat ah. lol


After typing this post, i thought it sounded abit sad. sigh.

Off to bed.
