duhzz...sometimes i think to myself. Am i really doing the things that i want to do in life, or am i just satisfying the needs of reality and pursuing things that i think will gain me fame, fuck I am driven by the fam and fortune rather then the love and passion of doingthings that i like. Fuck its killing me softly..........as you grow more in love with your passion it slowly devours your passion and turn you into a man of greed thirsty for the fame and fortune in life.
Well thinking of the many courses that i have been through in my one year stint in SPF, I can confidentally say that i am not very well equipped nor well taught, just as i recall courses like the basic cardic life support (CPR) and also the afilbrator device course(AED), up to know i must say i am not very sure how to go about performing it, if anything were to happen in the case of emergency, i will probably be too shock to even help out with the 2 man cpr. Wahahahahaha.
Went for my SGT course briefing today at the academy. Well was rather glad to be able to see many of my old squad mates again, peeps like suresh, tim, jason kwek(my all time buddy), Nic teo(all time good buddy), sean seah, Yong, Loke, ridhwan, shariffee and idris. Well it was a great time, though the course was rather short and we didn't get a chance to really talk long but it was comforting enough to see them again, well on the 3rd we will get to see each other again for a week till 10 oct haha...am also appointed the group leader of my team, ermm in which i must learn to practice leadership and lead my team to victory haha.....though i know its a sai gan job but well in life shit just happens so living through it everyday and telling myself in a positive manner just makes me feel better. After the course back to the station saw lots of gers outside the YIO CHU KANG sports hall only to know that my EX- sch NAFA was having their annual sports meet there.....rather depressing and sad that i am stuck in NS, everyday i am killing my brain cells sitting in the office doing things that are not at all relevant to what i am studying...not boasting that i am great or anything but it just makes no sense doing things that i dun like.........life becomes so monotenous for me..how i wish i can start working now or at the least pursue my studies darn.......
I want to get out.....I want to be a copywriter...I want a pilot pen.......
My job to write copies that sells....cause i am god....and god is also human.....
why is there a god cause he can do some things not all human can
thats why he is call god.....
haha my cock theory...

tendency
Yet another monument of another of my tribute to this journal full of my ego.
Complains complains and more complains. Everything that i see and do, just sums up to complains and more complains, i don't know whats wrong. I can't imaging why i am like this. Probably too much things to do and too much of stress i can't handle.
Well was in the office today, and had a chance to browse through NEIL FRENCH acclaimed as the Greatest Copywriter of all times, despite all the bashing and crashing he had in life, indeed i agree that he writes good copy for print ads that are really expressive, espcially the one for the AIR ASIA, it was really cleverly written as well as the cheesy print ads for XO BEER with one of the ad's copy stating something like" XO Beer is 12% alchol, and best taken lying down", it really just shows how strong this beer is and warning the effects that might happen before hand for precaution purposes, whenever i read it I just kept laughing to myself. Rather silly you might think of me i know, but its really funny at least in my opinion.....
Coming back to my critics for his work, well though i am not anyone famous but still i want to contribute to the critics forum on what i think about his work. Well i think the print ads that he did were really incredible... but the TV ads were rather written too smart, he worked with the best in Singapore I can see, people like Tham Khai Meng(co-chairman, O&M Asia Pacific), Steve Elrick(Executive Creative Director BBH Asia Pacific, Wilie Tang(founder of the now defunct Picture Farm) and Hanchew(Hanchew studio), well many of us who are in this industry would instantly have that wow factor when we see the names that he has worked with just in the asia pacific region, considering he is now the GODFATHER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR of the WPP group(mother company to O&M, BATES, RED CELL, J.WALTER THOMPSON, MINSHARE, YOUNG & RUBICAM Y&R and many more other big names in the creative field). His work are seen to be crafted in a very cliche manner which makes the image very clear cut with its meaning. Anyway its just my 3 cents worth.
Well enough of the big name was looking through the ad fest book i bought recently, and browse pass the interactive segment, well saw a couple of winning work by KINETIC INTERACTIVE, ya ya i know they are a bunch of interactive gurus whom i shall not introduce, again anyone in the creative industry in singapore would definetly know who they are, if not you must be living in some other dimensions, where design is still monotenous. Kinetic Interactive the youngest upcoming creative agency, mainly makes up of peeps from the Temasek School of design, they are killers in this field having only start in a short 8 yrs they have gun down more awards then any other local agency, that really prove how much potential they have to grow even further, ya as i was browsing through the page i saw a familiar name, Issac Wong, haha he was a friend. Well he really made it big man, by gunning an award already, well that really stoked me man. Well guess he is going to be one of the upcoming designers in this field, hope i can achieve that much when i finish my stinit in the national service, pursuing what i like to do.

worst day
Never felt so tired like this before. Everything was so chaotic, nothing was done properly, everything was so messed up when i stepped into my office today. Papers as usual flood my desk after my days leave, and instantly there were things that i have to attend because of the Key Appointment Holders coming back to the station for 3 days. Well i think this 3 days would be like hell for my office and my collegues. The first day already has proven how much brain cells are being killed within me, because of a very lousy arrangment done by my Mdm, who gave in to whatever dumb ideas they came up with. We had to go around the whole station gettting things done for them, treating everyone of them like VIPs. Before they came today, i had the utmost respect for them, I had imagined them to be people who care for the Junior Officers and that they are people who has the brain to do things that they plan. But sadly to say after just one day working with them, i found that they are people who are really selfish, and in their minds they only thought of going home fast thats all, i mean this are the people who are holding high ranks with high pay even they are NS ranked and yet they are acting this way, and all they did discuss are about things like where to have lunch and such theres hardly anything more then that. Well I am just a small fry anyway, and all i could do now is whine and whine. But it really just saddens me. Well because of a blunder my mdm made as a decision, caused my collegues to all come back early to do IPPT with them in the morning at 7.30am, even when i was in my Trainee days i never did that so early. Even my Junior PO is refusing to come back, they are indeed a bunch of old men.
Well just have to stop talking about them, if not i am going to feel so lousy.
For the pass few days after my Bro's POP, and meeting up with Ian i really had the uptmost respect for the commando's team spirit and unity. The way they shouted, and the way they bonded, just shaked me. Espcially Ian, after the AHM(army half marathorn) which he woke up at 3 that morning and finish the 21km run really just made me respect him, but what really made me admire him was his energy to go on with the day meeting up with us for a bowling session, steamboat dinner and shopping after his 21km run, that really tells me how much a commando's mind really is made up off. Kudos to him. I just want to follow him and work my life better.
Got my Passport done and i am ready to collect it soon, and then for my trip to genting with my dept. And also planning for a trip to bangkok with steven and possibly some other good friends. Erm, would be so fun. Well looking forward to the fun part. Hehehe

pop!
awWwwWww…my head is splitting. Pants shrinking, the hair loss rate is even faster then I’ve expected but the worst has got to be my head, its getting bigger bigger and bigger. So much work to be done, piling up like mountains physically and mentally. Everyday I wake up to welcome a new day, but here comes the challenge I have to face everyday with heaps of paper thrown down on my desk in the office like the garbage truck unloading at seneko Incinerator plant…waiting to be dispose of. Well that’s life got to accept it..and the only place I can unleash my fury is by writing it here.
Projects are coming in as usual, heavy workload…they are killing my brains man I tell you….tons of things to work on. Ironic as it may seem, I feel lethargic everyday after work, but I do look forward to Mondays and Thursdays as its always exciting to discover and learn new stuff in class. I enjoy every moment in class, where our lecturer wants us to come up instantly with ideas and explain our ideas, to let us have an inside feel of working as a designer in the field. Well it really helps to boost the students morale and enjoy that little more about the line of work that is awaiting for me after I finish my stint with the nations most dignified job, which is slowly killing my brain cells with things that are so stagnant. This course really helps me to understand abit more indepth of what I am learning for 3 years back in NAFA…..so I am quite glad that I am losing out much. But still, I am not gona get too cocky cause life is full of its ups and downs everything is so unexpected, I’ve personally felt the pinch of it losing things that I didn’t treasure and I don’t wish for it to happen in my career.
Time once again to end this session of cock and bull crap. So glad that I am on leave today. No rush for anything…..
