When I was just a little boy... Not really... PART TWOOOOOO~

After a spur of the moment kind of thing, together with the added bo liao-ness amidst the chaos inside office (everyone packing up n preparing for the upcoming workshop in Cambodia). I decided to visit my ex-class' photobucket site, and do some photo digging. Here are some photos that I've uncovered, needless to say, they're about me.

This is me trying to be funny during a social etiquette course in school.
This was taken during the school's Homecoming Day carnival... Notice how sunburnt i've became without even realising?
Ah... the classic ''See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil'' pretty cool! The girls saw this photo...
So they tried to copy our pose!

{Bo - Bo
Hokkien Dialect for no/none/negative}
{Bo Liao - Bo Lee-ya-o
Hokkien Dialect for boredom. Singlish has confirmed it's place in all Singaporean's vocabulary regardless of race}

When I was just a little boy... Not really...

Suddenly, all in one day, I dug up a few photos of my secondary school days... That's about more than 2 years ago! Back then, a large part of me has yet to surface yet. As you can see I wasn't that fat back then... ALRIGHT!!!! This will be my motivation to get back to old shaped Bruce!

The 1st 2 photos were taken while i was in secondary 4! It was during our Chinese New Year Eve Celebrations where part of the celebration required classes to take part in a Cosplay event. So the Siao Gin Nah me and 2 other nerds (i was in the smart-ass class everyone loves to hate) dressed up as Fu, Lu and Shou. With me, being Fu, representing Prosperity. On my left was Lu, symbolizing knowledge. The idiot on my right was playing Shou, for longevity! Needless to say, I was the most handsome yet gay looking guy in the shot!

I remembered that as part of the 'show', I was throwing sweets to the others, but in return for kindness, people threw the sweets back AT me! But... being the God of Fortune, i had to keep that smile going on and endure the nut shots i get!

The other photo was taken while i was in the midst of my Preliminary Exams, the one that i did horribly cuz i studied! It was taken using my friend's old phone at a nearby eatery. So fit then, so fat now... NABEI!!!

Of course, the food there was great! Me being the usual food guru, if you don't see me appearing at a food place more than 3 times, it sucks! don't bother going! Better yet! CHECK MY BLOG EVERYDAY FROM NEXT MONTH ONWARDS AND I'LL INTRODUCE PLACES WITH PHOTOS!!!!

{Siao - See-YA-o
Hokkien for crazy. Exists in two tones. On it's own, it goes down, better known as the 4th tone in Chinese studies. The other tone is adopted when used together with a noun e.g siao gin nah. In this case the tone goes upwards, better known as the 2nd tone.}
{Na Bei - Nah Bay
a shorter term of lin na bei which literally refers to 'your father'. This term is often used as a swear word, much like how others say 'dammit!'}

Food Research Methods

Yes, People always say that stuff you learn may not be practical to our daily lives.
I am going to prove that at least some of them can be used. Something else that is on my agenda is to prove that if you do something that you are passionate about, it will be alot easier and it will yield a better result.

In year2 of my Polytechnic course, there was a Module called Media Research Methods. Basically it was labeled as 'probably the hardest module yet' by many of my coursemates! true enough, i scored a C+ with it.

I will apply the techniques that I have acquired during the module into what I love doing most. MAKAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the next month or two, I will travel around Bangkok, gathering information with these two initial hypothesis in mind.
''Food from the roadside/hawkers tastes better than food from food courts''
''Food prepared by people of larger builds tastes better than than food prepared by people of smaller builds''

Look out for the final report ah!

{Makan - Mah-Kah-n
Malay word for the act of eating. The Singlish culture has ensured that this word is used even amongst people of the other ethnic groups}

Trinkets for the Mac User

A little introduction for those who feel bored in school or work, provided you have a Mac with you.
This is Quinn, or to put it better, tetris for Mac. The great game engine has smoothen alot of the movements such that you should experience minimal lag when playing! Simply put it, even at high levels where the blocks fall at monster speed, you shouldn't have any problems with moving the blocks properly. Also, Quinn has an in-game shadowcaster for those competitive gamers out there who've settled into having the settings in Tetris DS.

This quick loading and fast gameplay will provide you with the needed entertainment in between breaks/lectures or even whilst waiting for your bus to reach the location!

This is a must have for all Mac gamers IMO. For your info, I currently hold the high score amongst those I know so if you think you can beat me, send me your high score in a screenshot just like mine! hahahahahahaha!

Water Proofed

Yes... Water proofed that this watch cannot tahan water...

Simply put it that i bought this watch from the roadside, sure it looked like the read deal, except for 2 parts which are impossible to pick out unless you have the actual one. But even washing your hand becomes a chore when you're wearing this watch... i dare not to say the brand! haha...

Idiot Russian Falls On His Head

Bruce Lim
22/3/08 - Bangkok,Thailand.

''If you drink, Don't Drive'' seems like a motto on many people's mind nowadays, as the number of drink-driving accidents have increased drastically over the past year. But even so, there seems to be a new motto surfacing amongst the locals in Bangkok Thailand - ''If you drink, don't even think about moving''.

Diners at the hawker stalls below a flyover along the crossroad of Ratchaprarop and Sri Ayutthaya were shocked when they heard a loud prod further up the area, nearer to the pedastrian crossing. Apparently, Mr. Russian had a drop too much and decided that the sober taxi driver shouldn't drive. So he decided to walk home, accompanied by his son who speaks no English.

Shuffling your feet isn't a good idea along the streets on Thailand, especially when you're drunk. Mr. Russian tripped and took a nosedive onto the concrete tiles flooring the dining area. He suffered a blow to the head and was bleeding profusely. Head injury seems serious as Mr. Russian was also vomitting all over the place.

When passers-by tried to ask the boy what happened, they were only greeted by silence as no one there understands a word of Russian that's coming out of his mouth. All they could do was to pass serviettes to Mr. Russian for him to wipe the mixture of blood and vomit off.

Nearly half an hour after the incident, paramedics arrived at the scene to treat the Russian. Although in a weakened state, Mr. Russian insisted on not going to the hospital, but the decision was not his to call. Strangely enough, Mr. Russian did not head off in the ambulance, but on the back of a pickup truck that seems to be a bumpier ride than the ambulance. One could only wonder if he'll be better after the pickup ride.

Soon enough, everyone else had resumed their daily lives and the hawkers did not seem affected by the bloody mess in sight.

{Chao chee bye - basically one of the most popular curse terms in Singapore. it literally means smelly vagina, but has no meaning as a curse word... pretty much like shouting "FUCK" at someone.}

My office table

Check out my office table! basically all interns with IPS get to use this table. as usual, the stupid charger has to be ingeniously tilted so that power actually passes through to my laptop!
anyways notice that the table edges are wrapped with paper for a certain reason that i don't know. but it seems that my sweaty arms are slowly eating away the layers of paper! haha...

shiok ah!!!

Welcome to my room!

Thought i should show you guys my room. This friggin expensive room will be mine for the next 2 weeks. I'll be flying off to cambodia for a 4 day workshop and then when i return to thailand i'm moving to 2nd home.

Currently i'm paying 520baht per day (round 6760 in total) plus 70baht for 24hrs of wireless internet. blardi ex can? this 23square metre room is under-utilized! half the are empty one sia.
compare that to 2nd home, it's only 7000Baht a month with free indian net! WOW!!! everyone speaks english so that's a plus point, unlike my current place where i have to tackle between my super lousy thai, english and japanese greetings!
My workdesk in the room is a measly cosmetic mirror which i'm placing my laptop on. if you noticed, my charger is being tilted so that it actually works! same thing happens in office!

Sibei sian... I'll sign off!

{Sibei - See Bay}
It literally means ''die father'' but it modern context it refers to very in a crude form. sort of like what one would say 'damn (adjective)'.
{Sian - C-yan}
refers to the state of being bored.

TUK TUK TUK TUK TUK TUK TUK~~~~~

Tuk Tuk Tuk my way to the apartment~

A Tuk Tuk is one of the fairly popular form of public transport that one can take up whilst staying in Thailand.

This bike/carriage thing can outmaneuver most cars and speed like a motorbike, so what's there to complain about? Simple, riding it takes guts cuz there're no doors! And you won't know how much you've spent, until you reach your destinations. I just paid 100Baht for it!

I wonder why they call it a Tuk Tuk...

I think Put Put would sound more like it.

1 - It stinks like hell.

2 - It makes a long farting sound.

3 - When you fall off your body makes that prodding sound!

Sabaai Sabaai~

Yo!

And so my journey begins, for the next 5 months all that you see here will be stuff that i'll be introducing about Bangkok, Thailand. Why? Because I'm doing my Attachment Programme here with IPS

After the crazy 5 months, you will see that I will begin to Kao Pei about different stuff in life.

Also take note that visiting this blog will not only pollute your mind, but also enhance it with colorful language and vocabulary.

Peace!
