I finally got a response from Si Wei. Xue wen's attached at the moment. He didn't get her number. Instead he passed my number to her parents and... Then it would be up to xue wen if she wanted to talk to me again.

1 thing really brightens up my day. Her mother said told si wei that i had liked her daughter for 5-8 years already, she also can't remember... But i never took action. Haha. I really have to apologise to her. This time if the chance comes. And if I am not attached. I will definitely go full force.

Nothing can stop me once I set my mind to it.

But something's bothering me tho. Somehow I feel that Audrey doesnt want to give what we have up. Or maybe its just me, that I feel that deep down inside. But nothing's happening anyway. Well if something does, then I guess it'll only be friendship between me and xue wen. I guess that's how long Aud has to decide if she wants me in her life... Or out for good.

I've been doing waiting all my life. Now is waiting for a phone call that may change my life...

Well I was really tired and didn't want to go out for tea. But i didn't have a choice since Sean asked. Kudos to you!

This post... IS TO YOU SEAN!

Oh my god... I feel so tired. I wonder why. I should spend my afternoons resting instead of going to bugis. But Eugene's going to the army soon, I guess it's all right if i do my part as a friend and spend his last few moments with him! Sooooooooo tired. But i can't sleep till after 4am. Work ends then.

Met with with Xiao Zhang today at bugis. He's reading my blog too. Apparently quite a lot of people are reading it. Thanks i greatly encourage it. Its a good way to keep in touch with people and know how everyone is doing.

My encounter with Xiao Zhang is something to remember. Gist of the conversation :-
Xiao Zhang: Ord or not yet?
Me: No leh...
Xiao Zhang: You should be going to study after ORD right?
Me: Dun know leh... Why?
Xiao Zhang: Haha surely go and study one mah, or else for you wasted.
(Brief silence)
Me: dunno see first... why wasted leh?
Xiao Zhang: Haha cause you talented ma.
(Great silence)
*End of conversation*

I've already forgotten what I was. I used to hold myself in high regard. I knew I was good in what i did and if i set my mind to it. Nobody could stop me. I was respected by friends and family alike for daring to act and for for having high morals. I was a chief figure in my secondary school and I recognised leadership and exploited my strong points. I was good at what I did and I knew it.

Today is a much different story. I've lost my will to fight on, to push on. I've lost the moral courage and determination I once had. I've forgotten what it feels like to be good. To be the best in what you did. I've started my path. On becoming a Loser. I would have continued down this path if i had not received this wake up call.

Thank you Xiao Zhang.

Life is a game. There's no proper ending to it tho. But contrary to popular belief, you can restart the game everytime you want. You just have to clear your mind, sort of like clearing a cache in your internet browser. People have asked me this many times, don't you feel anguish, sadness and demoralised when your business fails? When your relationship ends? Yes i do. I feel demoralised and i feel like shit. What do you do? Do you brood over it and mourn for 7 7 49 days? No. You spend 1 sleepless night thinking about what went wrong. How you messed up, and you hit the reset button. You clear your cache and reset your attributes. You try something else with a new approach. Or you try the same thing with a different view. Stop playing the same character if you are hitting an invisible wall. Try new characters. Give yourself a chance. But here's a warning to everyone reading this. Never try to play the evil villian or compromise your moral values. That is something i will not do.


Oh and 1 last thing. Watch more animes ;). I've picked this up from my brother. Watch more movies (but i really recommend animes). They each carry a very special meaning behind the whole concept of the series. Here are some of the things that i've felt during these animes.

Prince of tennis:- Learn to evolve and go against the strongest opponent you can. Only be evolving yourself and constant improvement can u remain to be the best in what you do.

Gundam Seed:- Know your purpose in what you are doing. Only with a good purpose and strong beliefs in what you do, can make you an even stronger person. Oh and Gundam also reconfirmed an insight of mine. (the part when he and frey were together and his desire to protect frey was stronger.) Having a female partner can be a very powerful thing if she shares your ideal. It can make you do the impossible.

One Piece:- Be true to yourself.

Good day beautiful day today. Well... It started off real early with me taking Audrey to Isetan's Mid-Year Sales. Off quota... I overspent by nearly a hundred dollars. Can't spend so much on her already... Its for the best... Somehow, I feel she's trying to change... To adapt to me... she's doing things... in a way that I really appreciate and prefer... Trying on dresses and not really keeping me in the dark (not totally anyway). I really appreciate that... But however, since she's already made it clear we're only friends... And i really dun know my standing in her heart... I would think it best to set her free from my heart and apart from my world.

Eventful day, went to bugis to have a haircut. Met ambrose! Had lunch and played a few games of arcade... Gundam... LOL been ages since i last went to the video arcade and boy... it sure feels good ;). Next I met... ... ... ... SI WEI... He's my number 2. Well, we used to play an arcade game based on romance of the three kingdoms and based on top score... He's my number 2! hahahaha. Anyway, FATE has it that the people I am looking for, have relocated to Taman Jurong! That's Lakeside... Damn far! And they've been asking how i've been. That brings warmth n tears to my heart... I'm gonna clear my schedule tmr and take a long long drive to jurong tmr. No questions asked.

????, ???????

Well, time to update my daily post. Sean knows about xue wen! I wonder how many other people do. Sean's a cool guy. He listens to people and he observes. And he has his own opinion. Rare breed of gentlemen.

Feels like he's 1 of the few people I can talk to and 1 of the few people who actually listen... and pay attention! Gosu guy... Friends list!

Watched movie today with ambreast, zhiwei, darren and eugene. Tomorrow still gotta go out with audrey... Mixed feelings now... I wanna treat her good... I wanna be nice to her... I still want to be able to provide... to give her the best of everything... But at the same time, I can't spoil her... She just wants to be normal friends and... I can't be like that to friends. Who does? U'd be crazy if u treat friends like that. Well I dun think i'll be spending much or anything at all.

Nice to get out of my home once in a while... Zhiwei n Eugene's going in army liao. hahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahaahahahahaha... Song bo?

Yah, today also met a cute little kid on skype. His name is dalton. Hahahaha Darren's brother. Damn i love kids. In a healthy way.

Gonna try to look for Xue Wen tomorrow... Since aud's going for pool training I guess that gives me some free time to wander around. Sigh... My friends always ask me why I can quit gambling... quit smokes... quit alcohol... quit almost everything sooo easily but why... Why can't i set my mind to... be alone for a while? Why does my life revolve around... women? Am i pervert? LOL I bet that's been on quite a few people's minds. My best friend once told me, that's my greatest flaw, that I can't overcome the barrier and my life, if ruined by anything... Will be ruined by the hands of a woman. Well... I guess that's true. (Not the pervert part). In my perspective... (Dunno if its a repeat post but here it is anyway). A female companion is one to give u motivation to work, to give u inner strength and courage to do things u would only think about. Someone to ease your sufferings by being with you... showing care n concern. And making your life beautiful. That's why... I find a female companion is very important. It completes you.

Darn... Yanting's blog is linked to my blog lor, wonder if any school kids gonna read this ;) Leave me a mail n a/s/l and picture if u have one. But dun spam my mailbox

Whoa hoh hoh!!! Today went to have steam boat with kulian tianzi and shihao. Also collected my shirts today. Damn it la kulian! If your sister isn't coming out i dun wanna come out too! LOL...

Was listening to the radio the other day and the topic was "What does a girl mean when she says she's not ready for a relationship?". Well most of the people who called up gave the same answer. It means she's dumping you. That broke my heart. I wish that it wouldnt be so obvious to me, then I could have something to look forward to. But i guess... Oh well~ I guess i have to move on. Been waiting 2 years, and I can't wait forever... To even start off a relationship?

Well shihao gave me some advice today... True love is love at first sight. When two people love each other, if its cultivated, then its not true love. I beg to defer on this! Love at first sight is True Lust! Love is cultivated and developed by being with someone over time. And further enhanced the more the relationship develops. Of course, first impressions count... But that's more of lust than love i guess.

Sigh... been trying to look for xuewen thru various means... but can't give up. Finding her will close an old chapter in my life and maybe... start a new one.

Bah just scribbling various things that are popping into my head before I sleep. Kinda can't get much sleep lately. No appetite n not tired. Really dunno wat to do...

Back from bangkok! Totally tired. Went to quite a lot of places... and the flea market. Well, out of 4 days (3 days actually... Sunday not included) 1 day was Vesak day. Everything was closed! So we went to the temple to pray. I guess that was really an important part of the trip for me. I'd been wanting for a long time to pray and seek guidance. My life's in a mess... My business is in a mess... and my relationship's in a mess...

But other than that, it was a very fun trip!

Sigh 1 and a half hours till flight. I really wish i could tell her that after all we've been thru and after all she's said... I love her still.

But it hurts my heart to even think about it

(0) So Waddaya Think! 2:26:00 PM

HO EH! Out of the Dive to Blue! I'm all of a sudden going overseas till sunday. OMG!!! Talk about last minute planning! Well i got until 7am to pack my junk...

Anyway, highlight of today's events!

1. Received a phone call from 1 of my uncles... There's a job opportunity in Dubai... Might be able to go... Hope i can go... But i hope to stay in singapore more... If there is a reason for me to.

Anyway! event 2.

The search for................ XUE WEN!

accompanied my sister to look for xue wen trying to picture and remember the place she used to stay. Its not really a quest to try to get back with her but rather... A quest to end the guilt in my heart. To apologise for all the things i've said and... see her parents again ;) They're such nice people and i'd hate to not know them anymore.

Anyway, MISSION FAIL. I guess my memory is starting to fail me and... Selective memory comes into play, blocking myself from things that make me feel... bad. NPNT tho, maybe i'll chance upon meeting her again someday and the words will come out right.

Hmm last meal spent with audrey. Well I had a lot of good things to say but i just ended my MSN chat with her. Now i'm feeling... wait do u know how i'm feeling? This is how i'm feeling -.-"

with "!

I guess... She never really thought of me more than a friend. The past 1+ year has been a total... Its beyond description. U know? I really have no more mood to continue writing today so maybe i'll get some inspiration when i get home ya? God damn {RE@H$

I guess its ok for her to put herself out of the relationship so that she won't get hurt but I guess it hurts me more that she doesnt even want to try. Sigh am i such a bad boyfriend?

Well well, updated my blog again.... Been reading quite a lot of my previous posts and realised that I've failed terribly in my goal to attain financial independence...

Well here are the things that i'd failed to do.

1. I've allowed myself to be too slack... To not be the best and settle for seconds in everything i do.

2. I set unrealistic goals... Goals that i alone could not achieve and goals that I could not help people achieve. In that aspect i have failed terribly.

3. I had allowed myself the thought of giving up. To succumb to failure and pursue a different direction in life.

No i will not allow myself failure.

"There can be no alteration once your goals have been set. That will only weaken your mind for future failures. The only alteration you can make, is the plan and vehicle you wish to achieve your goal, and when you do, glory awaits you."

Ho eh! YC Blog Revived! Pictures Re-Stolen! Nice right? The eye can move one leh. See carefully.

Ok, time for some thrash post! Eh, my live story. And the Reason I use the name DuMdUm. U know why? Cause 4-5 years ago I was a complete retard! And guess what... I'm still a fkin retard! So here's my post! Oh and its also the reason "1 wrong doing can leave you a lifetime of regret".

Wanna know what's my biggest regret? That's left a huge scar in my life? I BET YOU DON'T EVEN CARE! HOO!~~~~~~~~~


First off, lets start off with a story that happened say... 5 years ago? An incident which changed my life! The end of my secondary school days and the starting of a new chapter in life. A point of time where people have totally no clue what to do while waiting to go into Poly. Well i did job hop a little, but most of the times i spent unemployed. I would frequent the arcade at bugis. In my 1-2 years of my bugis life, I came to know the people who frequented the place and of course, quite a huge number of the people working there. At that point of time, I knew the people in the coffeeshop opposite mos burger. As i was just 16 years old, I had not developed the art of "Fine Dining" and everyday i would have the same dish for lunch and dinner... And it went on for probably... 1 year +? That's how i got the nick name in bugis "Chao Fan Boy". Imagine eating fried rice for 2 meals a day for over a year! Well, to me food was food. Not something i put any attention to... Well it so happened that on a fateful day, the daughter of the stall owner came to help out. Well, what could i say? My heart melted when i first saw her. After a very long and tedious process, I finally started to go out with her. And after 2 years, my chance came. She was having her O levels and i was giving tuition to my friends, so her parents asked me if i could help her with her studies. Of course, I agreed. I guess that was the time when we really started dating. We would talk everynight on the phone before going to sleep and meet every other day to study together. However, we usually didnt study much but went shopping quite a lot. Well, i guess when your heart belongs to someone, you naturally want the best for the person. Wouldn't you? Anyway, everytime we went out it would be my treat. I didn't want her to spend her money when i was with her. It didn't seem right. I guess that's how u are when you're in love? You just want to provide and shelter your loved one at all costs? Anyway, she would tell me it was ok and that I didn't have to treat her everytime. ? . No that didnt seem right to me, I'm a guy. I should be able to provide. Shouldn't I? I mean as long as its within my means I would do it. Without a shadow of doubt. Well, she introduced her friends... bought me a handphone couple keychain (it was the "in" thing that time)... had dinner with her parents... All that stuff. But what's the greatest joke of it all? I had no clue that she had accepted me into her life. I didn't know that we were together. If all those signs were obvious to everyone else in the world... It wasnt to me. I was young and plain stupid. I was brought up in a "pro gaming" community where people played games competitively and watched each others backs. Where teamwork and collective teamspirit was the culture. We were the best at gaming and ranked in asia, and I was core of the team. I built the team. Everything i knew, was in gaming. Everything else? I was completely unaware. Although those signs were drop dead obvious, it never occured so to me. In my mind, couples hold hands and stuff like that. (Nowhere near indecency. I may be potent but I have an incredible degree of self control and being brought up in a chinese school, deep morals). In short, I had no clue what was going on. Well, this went on for quite some time a nd one day... One fateful day, my sister asked me how was things going on with me and her? Well since I didn't know if i could or should... and i lacked the moral courage to try to hold her hand, it never occured to me we were together. Hey i was young. Give me some slack. Anyway, my sister wasnt really sure of the situation and asked me if I thought the relationship was going anywhere. That made me ponder. And in doubt? Question. And like a retard, I told the girl i gave my hear t to that i was treating her too good and I didn't think our friendship had any progress and was rather stagnant. To which she gave a shocking reply. She asked me - how could i think like that? That i was treating her very good and no progress? If i really thought that way then maybe we shouldn't be going out - . I didn't know what she meant. But i took the last sentence as advice. We stopped going out. Well what an ass i must have been. She subsequently told me that she's changing her handphone no. and dun need to contact or look for her again. U know what i thought? I thought that it was some time away to think and so i thought that would be for the best.

It was only after several months of self reflection and thought, that made me wake up my idea. It was too to make any amends, but i swore that I would not have such a thought anymore. And if i ever did fall in love with anyone, I would give it all i got, and never give up.

But we're only human. And never is a very very very long time. At this current moment, I'm faced with a problem that's haunted me for so many years. Deja Vu! I've been going out with a girl for close to 2 years. And again, I've hit the invisible wall of progression to a relationship. But this time it's a little more tricky. Cause sometimes she tells me that she'll always be there for me, that she has feelings for me... That yes she does love me. However, some of the times she tells me that maybe we were not meant for each other. It's been 2 years of courtship and I can't read the signs and patterns anymore. Pls would someone guide me as to how I should confront this situation? How would you handle such a situation to see if it has any hope of moving forward? Or is the relationship doomed to oblivion. I've made the wrong choice once... I wouldnt want to make the same mistake twice and live with regret.

What to do? HO EH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
