Its been 24 days since I got my Nintendo Wii(Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!), and I only got it to work only three days ago. And boy did I not mention that I got played out 2 weeks in a row before finally getting my Wii. I did mention in my Jack of all trades entry that I would be getting my Wii on Good Friday. And that's 10th April.

2 trips with a bag load of anticipation, excitement, thrill and sheer joy only to meet with cock-ups leaving me destitute. All the time, effort & transport money wasted. When I finally was able to get hold of the Wii, The only game available was the Wii Sports that came along with the set. Just to let you know, I'm going full original for my Wii(ANTI-PIRACY). So I had to settle for some pirated stand-ins (Touched none of them. By now it's returned), and a second-hand Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Apparently, my friend's business associate is doing a really bad job on tying down with suppliers and the whatnots. Thus playing me out 2 weeks in a row, and the missing games thereafter. He justified that with their supplier not having any stock. Think that's the end? Read on.

So happy as a lark and drooling like a little kid just by having the Wii, I couldn't wait to set it up. To my dismay, when I clicked the power switch on, eyes glittering with uncontainable anticipation and natural smiling to myself, I heard a 'POP' throwing my whole house into a power trip. GREAT.

So I rang up mathews(Again for the umpteenth time) to describe my situation. When returning my call after he spoke to his associate, he quoted, "Sorry Sorry, a special adapter is needed to make it work, forgot to pass it to you." What a great business person/partner. There's more.

So I had to wait another week, for mathews(What a weird name? Single 't' and its plural) to pass me the adapter in camp. So the following weekend I tried to start it up, guess what... well it worked. I was actually surprised for such a norm. By now, all enthusiasm and anticipation has been punctured with series of disappointments. But, the controllers aren't really working, Fixed in the batteries, spammed the 'sync' buttton but nothing just seem to work. Nevermind, let's read our 'trusty ol-manual'... WHAT THE HECK is this language!

It's in Chinese traditional characters. The point here is not that I can still read Chinese or my Chinese is weak. the point here is I ordered a US version of the Nintendo Wii. They justified that US sets cannot be modified, and these are the only kind of sets they carry. They better thank our ever-loving Creator I'm acquainted with mathews and I'm quick to forgive. I managed to fix the controller synchronisation much later(3 days ago) with Google. Only thought of Google 3 days ago, how dumb of me.


Nice and snug in the corner of my room!


Tadaa~ And white is undoubtedly my favourite colour!

Now, I'm just waiting for my games to come in. Still... Well, this Sunday my Wii will make her(his?) maiden voyage to Shawn's 21th birthday chalet! I'm sure fun will ensue from this trip.


Okay, It's actually the 10th of May already. But I edited the date to be the 6th of May, just for sake of remembering the date of such a misfortune. And I really intended to blog about this on that day. Have you known anyone who has the record of breaking 2 pairs of spectacles in a single day!?

It began when I was awakened by the terrifying wind and rain that brought down the curtain in my bunk at 6am. In my grogginess, I got up to fix the curtain. (no one in my bunk is better than me at that) To do that I had to step on the unoccupied mattress, and of all places, I had to step it together with 1 of my spectacles. Excellent. There you go, 1 down.

That was the pair I wear outside of camp, or what we call it the civilian spectacles. I had in mind to fix it when I get home. In camp, I put on the pair with the black plastic frame. Much later in the day, I was just lying on the sofa for a quick rest. And when I turned around with a little bounce to get myself all comfortable, it generated quite an impact for my "ah-bing-ge" spectacles. Snap! Second pair down.

Thank God by then all my lessons were over, and it's almost time to book out. With the spectacles gone, I keep getting questions like "where's your specs?" or "what's your degree?". But other than that, because my degree is quite bad, I find myself able to think more clearly. In this episode, I begin to think and reflect on the things I've been compromising, my future and mostly ministry matters... in my 'blindness'. And I kind of needed that time and space.

Maybe God wants me to not be distracted by just daily living and actually spend some time to think about things that require attention. It was kind of fun too though, helps me be in a world of my own oblivious to my surroundings. I would wish to post some pictures of the broken spectacles, but by the time I snapped it, I've already fixed it.


Though I get to reflect in their absence, I'm practically blind. Badly drawn red carpet.


Posing them up.


Meet their doctor. SELLEYS. Mum says, must only buy SELLEYS. In my opinion, it's better than the previous ones I've tried.

The pictures are kind of bad with the lightning and all, I know I know, so thanks for bearing with it.


Read this first before scrolling down. Guess an item from the following clues :

It's near 75% pitch-black, it comes in 1000 pieces, it costs 50 bucks, it's a picture of a really cool scene and it can be framed up!

If you guessed a jigsaw puzzle, you got it right! It's a scene from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas where nearing the end, Jack and Sally met at the curly hill for some kissing. Cadaverous romantic action!


It's somewhat blur, but you get the picture. Hah picture! get it? =X

Right about now, I'm about 30% completion, as you can see from below. I can also safely say that all pieces with illustrations are being pieced up. What's left would be approximately 700 pieces of pitch-black pieces awaiting trial and error.


This is going to take awhile.

Well, actually with all the experience thus far, I found a way to still find fitting pieces efficiently. In this puzzle they only have 2 kinds of pieces, the purely jut-outs and purely cave-ins.(If you know what I mean) So I name the jut-outs "B9"s and cave-ins "Vehgeena"s.(Don't ask me why) There's still the randomness effect with my system but let's not bore you with the details. Approach me if you're interested in my idea, maybe for some similar annoying puzzle you have.

This is will be so gratifying to complete. I bet some people have a 'fix a 5000 piece puzzle' in their '10-things-to-accomplish-before-I-die' list. Oh come on, What's a 5000 piece when you have 700 over pieces of pure trial and error, it's a test of your wits for efficiency too! Just pray I won't go bald pulling all my hair out.


Quite likely it's one of those mood swings. Possibly I just want to 'emo' like the commonplace losers. High chance I'm just making a fuss, ignorant of true desolation in my spoilt & comfortable state. Redundant. Shallow. Immature. Downright loser.

I have a good circle of friends. I have multiple close cliques. I have tons of people I love and cherish. Those tons love me back in their own ways that are heart-warming. I have no lack of company. I have buddies for all kinds of activities you name. There are people whom I would fork out any sum of money for. They too will do the same for me. I delight in being personal with people, for that, they reciprocate.

Though they say there is no such thing as "I have no one to talk to" and in fact, I'm actually on this same bandwagon of an idea, I might just be using it as an escape for my reality. I'm positive in life and also in my entries. This entry reveals my weak side and I don't like it. But I don't give a shit about that now, if I don't have a person to confide in, the very least this blog could serve me is, to contain my hopeless whining.

I don't like revealing this side of me, it just attracts too much attention and sympathy. Heck, don't put me in the same category as those who scavenge attention that way. I will rip you apart. Whoever you are reading this, don't tag, don't think this is Sunny and forget this entirely. Stop reading here if you are put off, you will be doing me a favour.

God, I wonder why You didn't place a mentor in my life, someone whom would understand the way I think, someone to guide, someone I can confide in. You've put me as such a position for 1 or 2 brothers, but I need 1 too. Is it because I'm blind to realise there's one around me? Or is it because you want me to keep praying for it?

I guess it's my own doing, those things that I need to talk or confide about cannot reach just about anybody's ears. Hidden and unseen from most people, I need to get it off my chest, but that's just not possible. Putting it across like that somewhat makes me shady. I don't care what you think. Also kind of makes me mysterious. Not true, the last thing I would do is to act mysterious. Take it from me on this, else the other thing you'll get is shit beaten out of you.

I take pride in accepting people, being sincere and loving them. Maybe that's why God has blessed me with my circle of friends. But I can't help feeling lonely. For there is none I can seek solace with. None that I can pour out to on a regular basis. God, please continue to sustain me even without a confidant. God, teach me to turn to You and seek peace in my gloomy periods so that the devil will have no foothold over me to toy around. Sorry to anyone reading for sounding violent, but I do mean it.


I've always thought, felt, proclaimed and behaved in a way as if I'm a master of all trades. Well, hoping to program my being and brain into it, thinking it will become a reality. Am I actually making progress? Maybe. Though I'm still a master of all trades-in-training, I'm definitely a jack of all trades.

What's annoying being one is filling up questionnaires. Especially those that has something to do with preferences or self-discovery. Here's one I took from a career aptitude test, I'm supposed to select which I most and least prefer.

Help decorate a float for a large city parade
Help build the float for the city parade
Help design the float for the city parade

That is one of the many examples which I take very long to decide. And then, there are just some, where you cant decide at all. What's the worst is, such questionnaires don't put you over a spectrum. You're either this, or anti-that, even though you are somewhere in the middle. They are designed with no such option, leaving you to choose either end of the spectrum.

I hate lousy questionnaires. I'm very sure I'm not the only one fretting over this tests trying to classify and put us into places that are inaccurate. Shouldn't a test help us discover what we are instead of telling us what we are?

Even for a master of all trades, the problem won't go away! Stupid tests.

This year's good Friday will be real good. I'll be getting my Nintendo . I'll be getting my Nintendo Wii on that day! 'Yayness' overload. I'm going to bring it everywhere I go! To Tekong! To youth camp! To chalets! EVERYWHERE!!! Life is now complete!
