Sorry issues...

After a long layoff... I'm finally back... but this time I got a whole new chunk of complaints to file... I'm typing this while fighting back tears welling in my eyes...

So, I'm finally 18, but nothing else changes. Dad's still a persistent die-hard gambler, and whole family's still trying to make ends meet. 3 months of bills, SCV, elec & water, SingTel, SingNet... all unpaid... it's not the first time... Today SCV cuts off tranmission to my tv... back to those free-to-air channels for a while at least... Kinda expecting the rest of the essentials stuff to be cut off one by one...

Mum got Dad to go over to Aunt's house to try ang get her to 'talk sense' into him... However, unfortunately (for me & Mum), it didnt have the desired results... Aunt decided to help him CLEAR THE BILLS. WTF!?!

I mean, here you are, trying to help talk some sense into Dad, and instead of reprimanding him, you gone ahead to help him. Never mind abt that....

So Dad comes home in a understandably happy mood. But he's got a bombshell for me tho... I'm expected to pay my own SingNet bills from nxt months onwards. Sheesh, that got me into a state of frenzy. I raised my voice and argued with him... if only he stopped gambling.. we weren't be in such a terrible state. Issues regarding him gambling... he kept saying "I wouldn't gamble, I promise!"... but i just refused to accept it. Reason? For the past 18 years, he had said that for quite a number of times... everytime after such a promise, within a few months, he's back to his old habits again. No wonder ppl say old habits die hard...

Eventually i broke down (very proned to crying)... then Mum phoned Aunt... and tried to ask her how come he came back from her house in this kind of attitude... Dad then snatched the phone and gave his version of the story...before i stumbled my way to the phone and try to utter a few words into the phone...

Nope. I wasn't going to be allowed to say even a few words, Aunt's mouth just poured open and launched a tirade... I was on the receiving end. I bet she wanted to scold my Mum this way but held back, and saved the bit for me. "You all ah...never help your dad, never give him money, end up I hafta help him foot the bills (stupid la, who ask you to? no one force you anyway), and blablablabla... you HATE your father! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK TO ME!"

OUCH. (to be continued..)

Squeezing my brain juices....

H owdy everyone... I just removed the hit counters... its been giving me crosses for the past few weeks, I guess I just hafta do without it, so you people.. make some sounds... its kinda depressing looking at 0 comments all over my blog.. haha. Never mind.. think no one got anything to say about my posts. It seems that everytime I'm moody or had nothing to do, then I will reluctantly come here and give inputs. Hmm. Can anyone tell me how do you get over a person whom you like, but can almost never get? Hahaz... My thoughts are killing me (not that I have any suicidal thoughts), but its depressing me out. Went to Esplanade to kill time yesterday... took one photo of the CBD "skyscrapers"... Singapore is so boring you know... not much places to go... Daydreaming and idling all the time infront of this idiot box... I'm going crazy!~ Hahahz... Pathetic Gab, get a life... "I can't deny the way that I'm feeling... It's true." -- Craig Davids

Its my Birthday in 5 days, but I have alot on my mind...

I have left the Navy after 6 years. Joined STE, and STILL in TNB. I'm getting the BTO flat in 1 1/2 years time. I'm getting married.... hopefully in the same period. and I'm worried about finances. I have made some right decisions and some very wrong decisions in my life. Most of the latter decisions are pretty recent. I want to set the record straight. From now on, I will strive and ONLY make right decisions in my life. I want to live my life and everyone else in my life to live off the right decisions that I made. Can't disappoint others due to my own failings End "As I grow older, the more we have to abide by life's rules, and came to the realisation that I am just another lab rat participating in the rat race just like everyone else."

F.O.P... zzzz and its July!

S orry people... didnt update for the whole WEEK ... heez. Was too tired by the time I reach home in the evening, and spent the whole night sleeping away for most of the week. Anyway, was busy with the F.O.P, everyday woke up at 6.30am, reach school by 8am, and events just start rolling one by one, non-stop. On the first day of F.O.P, I was deployed at the entrance of the Convention centre, ushering the Freshies in. I was appalled by the sheer number of newbies coming in and searching for their classes on the noticeboards. Each of them has the -hope- of coming to poly to have a good time on their faces... Not much trouble ushering the thousand freshies into the Hall, with the exception of several blur-looking guys. Not much good looking females either, following the trend of EEE... (the only ones being those from other schools, whom "stumbled" towards the Convention Centre by accident...haha) The rest of the first day was dedicated to guiding my assigned class on a Cam...
