Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Hellish Day

What a hellish day!!!

The day started off with me sitting on the toilet seat for ages suffering from serious diarrhoea. “The large intestine is on strike today AGAIN,” I thought. Yup, it is true. In a couple of hours I bet I’ve ran thru-and-fro to the toilet and my room more than a dozen times.

Yanmin called me. With the other participating classmates, I should be at his house rehearsing our song by 10.00am. I took a glance at my watch. It’s 11.00am. I told him I was too sick to go to his house. Lied in bed while chatting with my friends for the rest of the afternoon.

Evening I went to Copthorne Orchid Plaza to purchase the bus ticket from Singapore to Malaysia on Monday afternoon so that I can go home for a little while. God knows the bus company has rasied the price from S$37 to S$44 (omg, a S$7 increase!!!), and the unlucky me brought S$40. Searched my pocket and bag inside out. Still short of S$2.

The lady there said that no matter what I must pay the S$2. Of course I must pay, but then I told her that I would like to leave my idendification document (student pass) behind, and return to the ticketing counter tomorrow with enough money.

She threw a big “NONO” right onto the face, splattering some saliva on the way. Yucks. She said that she have jsut printed the ticket, and I msut pay by today. Hello? I said that I will leave my indentification document behind… you worried that I will run away?!?! What the hell. Stripped with all possible choices, I am left with the only choice – go to a shopping complex, withdraw some money, return to the ticketing counter and pay the crazy receptionist S$44. And the best part is the enarest shopping complex, Corronation Plaza, is like, erm, 3~4km away. Bah.

Amazingly I found that I am able to drag myself back to the boarding school. I boarded the bus that heads for the bus stop outside my school, and found that my EZ link card has negative cash value. This means that I cannot take the bus, and need to walk a wholly 5~6km back to the boarding school. What the hell?!

Now my legs are aching, and I am physically and mentally drained. Going to call this a day after I publish this story about a hellish day.

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
  • What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching World's Funniest Commercials. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
