After exam Woohoo.... Well, for me, it is indeed great feeling to actually have completed all my Exams in NUS. Finally. Yeah. I have tried my best, I would have to say. Ha... Now awaiting for my commencement! :) Oh yes, after the exam, I actually headed down to roadshow at Jurong East! Ha... Really very excited to see my collegues again and also its my FIRST DAY of my FULL TIME CAREER! Yeah... And really, the feeling I have is very different. I have nothing to hold back anymore. For the past two months, when I was in roadshows, I somewhat kept thinking about my studies and work, splitting my mind into two. Thus, its quite tiring then to keep switching my mind from the study mode to the working mode and then back again... Ha. I am really very happy to have made a case on that day itself. Yeah!! Ha... And its of coincidence that I met my client. Ha. Somewhat like a ready buyer because she was approached quite a few times by different people and for me, that day is like the appropriate ti

Ha.... Just got this photo... This is my agency photo at the Shanghai Dinner and Dance in March!! :) My role then was actually a helper for Eve... who is standing behind me... Ha... Find that having a themed dinner is really very fun and quite memorable though, because people really dress up for the event. :) Think maybe CSC should have their yearly awards ceremony (VAT) having themed ones too... then it will be quite spectacular and special too!!

Maroon 5! Wow, they are back and with a great storm, just like 'This Love.' They have a new release and its called "Make Me Wonder"! Guess what?? I have the mp3! Ha... Courtesy from Zhiwei. He introduced to me and got me hooked. Thanks man... From Youtube, I got to know that they have actually got a new drum player because the previous one actually got his arm injured and unable to have the strength to hit the drum instruments well. But hearing from this song, the new drum player is very good too! :) Yeah!! Love it... Those who want the song... email me at mervyn_hoe@yahoo.com Yeah... :)

Planet Earth

Wow... I am really amazed after catching this one-hour documentary about caves on Earth! There are so many creatures that I have never seen before in my life~~.... There is one description of the habitat which is so amazing. I shall try my best to describe. Use your brain juice to imagine ya?? Here it goes.... There are 3 million bats at the top of the cave walls, flying. And below them, is a whole black patch of their bat droppings. And when you watch closer, there are millions of cockroaches feeding on the bat droppings. And they eat whatever drops onto the black patch. (Think not much of imagination required eh??) Anyway, this is what I have learnt. The shit is actually the main source of outside nutrients that these floor creatures are able to eat because the bats go out and source for food. Clever cockroaches ya?? My dog should watch the documentary, so that he should feel lucky as in he does not need to hunt or eat shit for a living... Yet, he still doesn't eat his food. We

Primary School Picture Heyhey...guess what?? My Primary school friend, Siew yee actually managed to obtain this primary school picture from my another friend... ha... Guess which one is me?? So obvious right?? Ha.... By the way, the four of us actually drew this painting. Still remember that time it was like the Ferngully competition. To draw a nature picture and for me, I didn't contribute much leh... I only drew the red flower on the left, above the black butterfly. My contribution was really so minimal... Ha... But I wonder if that time my other 3 friends knew or not... Ha... Yeah... Reminisce.... By the way, my smile is still so radiant hor... Haa....(Self praise)
Visual Personality Test Saw this visual personality test from Cheekian's blog. And find that it's quite interesting. So I just tried... It's really very accurate for me leh... woohoo.... You should try it too!~~!! Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™ Dreamer You like life rugged and rough round the edges. You take rambling walks in the open air, and appreciate the unpredicability of nature - you've got a stead attitude, people see you as a bit of a rock. When it comes to art, you appreciate natural beauty. You take time to soak up the nature favouring the coastline and countryside to the city galleries. As for music, its the soundtrack to your world. It gives you focus and concentration - you might find it hard to switch off. Your choice of treat reveals either real exhaustion, or maybe a bit of laziness? Either way you're never happier than when you are rugged, and snuggled up, eyes shut. Find that this is true. I love the nature and I don't really min
Flu Medicine Yes, I have flu for the past two days. That's really bad. Yesterday, I took the flu medicine twice at Eve's house and guess what? I dozed off twice! Think her mum might be thinking that this Mervyn is so lazy. Loves to sleep. Ha... But anyway, the sleep/nap/rest is really very good leh. And the flu medicine really makes me drowsy... Taking away all my 'enthusiasm' for revision for my studies. Terrible. Ha... Weather The weather has been very warm in Singapore... Can't take it. Wanna dip myself in the pool again. And yesterday was a record high for me. I bathed a total of 3 times. Didn't shower that many times before in a day. Usually the maximum is two. Ha... Ah! Can rain down water?? Please.... Blog Oh yes, I have edited the format of my blog slightly. Have deleted some of the blogs of my friends which are dormant. Yeah, find that quite alot of my friends didn't really blog these days and months. Maybe they have changed their blog address. I am
Day of Travel Today after dinner, I rushed down to meet my client and I was late. Really paiseh. I was late for 5minutes. Ha... I should have a better estimation. Anyway, I am really happy to meet her leh... :) Yeah man... Then, I took the train from Tampines to Clementi and it took me 45minutes... Think Singapore is very big when time is not by your side. Anyway, I was late for 30minutes for my cellgroup at Clementi. Ha... This is bad again... After cellgroup, I went to Tanjong Pagar, back to my office to actually file something important... and I was amazed to actually find that there are still quite alot of people in the office doing their stuff at 10.30pm! Ha... I initially thought that I was the only one there at the office. Then, I headed to Bishan to go Eve's house. On the way there, I actually missed two trains. One is the East west line (From Tanjong Pagar to Raffles Place) and the next train time was 7 minutes.... So long!! 7 minutes! I listened to 3 Avril Lavigne's s
So be it Guess what? Today on the way home, I met my friend. I am not going to say who. Anyway, its been quite a while eversince I have met him. So I asked him how is he and stuff, you know, those common questions. He is quite close to me one la. He then questioned me as to whether am I now an insurance agent or a real estate agent... probably because of the way I dress. I thought that he read my blog and that's why he comment. But he didn't know at all. So I just told him that I'm in Prudential now. In the midst of the conversation, I was just asked him some questions concerning him. Like how's his work and he commented that he will not buy any plans from me. It's like come on. I didn't even say anything about insurance or selling. Why does he keep telling me about it. Somemore, he is the one keep mentioning about my career. Like how much I am earning and about investment and talking about cars. I do not wish to disclose it because its actually not of his inter

Look at this!! Its Vodka Black... It's only sold in Singapore's very own Changi Airport. Very nice right?? Its 50% alcohol content... Ha... If I were to drink it, sure red-faced... haa This is another picture of great discovery. Its this.... Well, its amazing because it consists of my 2 other good buddies and me... I have good buddies of HI SHAM, RA Y and ME ... the other portion 'KI'... I have no idea who will it be... Ha... This new lipton tea brand really create with the heart of 3 of us... Ha. The best thing is that I haven't got a chance to get it for myself to try... Ha... :) Amazing right?? And how well planned. Coz i'm the youngest and Hisham is the oldest. So he will have the GLORY to actually be at the first. And he is seemingly proud about that... Ha...
Come to think of it, I will be graduating from NUS with effect from 28April2007! Which is next saturday. WOOHOO.... Really can't wait leh. The day has finally come and I am so happy that I can fully embark onto another journey again. Yes! Yesterday, I went to NUS to study and guess what? It was actually not bad leh, at the Central Library. Prior to that, I have gone to the Clubroom to actually meet Fred. I also got to meet Wenbin, Michelle, Shiyun and Grace. Feel quite distant from them and also from the clubroom. Think that I have really lost in touch with CSC already. I am also quite amazed with some of the changes. Firstly, I saw that there are actually alot of small handmade 'cabinets' with each of the Committee member's names on it. It's like a mini-mailbox so as to facilitate or pass information to each other. Find that its quite cool as they are able to write small messages to get to know each other better? Ha... Opps. I think there is only one major change w
This used to be one of my favorite SBC TV serial le... Consisting of alot of the ah-bengs and ah-lians, how they are a bunch of close-knitted friends and stay strong amidst of the troubles they have... Love the sound track.... Ha!! Find that its quite amazing that I can find these stuff while revising my work.... Badbad... Ha... :)

Uniquely Singapore Race! Woohoo!! Guess what?? I happened to chance by this blog and found a picture of me and my team. It was taken from Uniquely Singapore Race 06 at MacRitchie stop! Woohoo!! Ha.... Starring: Yuzheng, Dennis, Me and Crystal!! Yeah!!!
Wow! Studying I am really finding that studying is actually quite ok when I'm not doing it at my home. A different environment can really tell my body that "Hey, Mervyn, you gotta study." I have tried studying at Yiwen's house and my efficiency is not bad leh. And I listened to my mp3 while revising. The only bad thing is that when her father called me, I did not respond. Even she called my name, I didn't answer. Ha.. Opps. I didn't mean it. I will be going to NUS to study for awhile then I will head back home because I have some library books to return. (Darn right?) I have quite alot of friends, they also prefer to study in school because of the environment and secondly because of the friends. They feel that when they are with their friends and that they see that everyone is studying, they will automatically have the mood to start studying. Ha. I'm not sure about you, but I tend to talk to them when I am with them... Ha... that is for 'sometimes

My Childhood Photograph Guess what? Yesterday, on msn, my godchildren sent me my childhood photo with her mother, whom I call her Da-jie. Ha. I can still remember that this picture is taken at Genting. Ha... My side parting hairstyle... :) Love it!! This picture really made my day! :)

Mickey Footage Its been awhile since I have actually blogged about my doggie, Mickey! I just found out recently that he loves Pandan cake alot!!! See how much concentration he gives in the piece of pandan cake... Ha Mickey and his full 100% on the cake The pictures of him eating it... Ha (R u hungry??) In his mouth... Its really amazing how dogs can develop a loving for pandan cake. Maybe he loves the smell of it and the softness. Coz he practically didnt bite at all. He merely bites and down it into his throat... Ha... :) Love him alot...
Britney rocks!! All the time... This is her Sometimes video. She really looked very sweet the moment she juz came into the music scene. Loved the dance moves, though they look simple, but I find its quite difficult leh. Ha... Oh yes, she was actually injured when she was filming at Kenny's Cove (you can see it in the first few seconds of the MV). Hope that she will have a come back, I believe you will, Brit!

I love this!! Got this holy cup from Bishan.... its only $0.90!!! The black pearls are tangy and superb! The tea is just right, not so sweet. The queue is short also. And its $0.90! Love it! I have also received 2 postcards from Bertram. He is really enjoying himself leh! Going to Nice and also French Rivera! So good.... Thanks Bert! :)
Smoking along the pathway I really cannot stand those b*stards actually smoke along the pathway, and especially those that is the only path where people can walk. The both sides of the pathways are grasses. This terrible guy, think that he owned the whole pathway, began lighting and smoking as he walked slowly. And yes, the pathway is bloody narrow and the people in front of me are walking superby slow.... And I tried to hold my breath. But its taking too much time... and I breathed in 3-4 puffs... That's really stinky. All thanks to the bloody smoker ass. Really hope that he will get cancer soon. Bloody hell... People should be civilised enough as not to smoke at the pathways. Letting people breath secondary smoke. If he is generous, it is not the way. He should donate money instead of secondary smoke. Bloody ass hole. Smokers suck big time and may you have black lungs and heart. Trust me, you will.

700th Post

Wow! I have managed to reach my 700th post. Anyway, I find that staying at home the whole day really make myself feel more tired! This is bad, somemore I gotta study during this period. Think I may consider going to school to study or what... really cannot. Today nap for 1-and-a-half hour...bad. Yes, I have attended Easter celebration and let me tell you! I am really very amazed by the way City Harvest carry out the play for the people. The props they use, the professionalism, and the whole easter story is well portrayed by them. The settings as well as the fine usage of computer effects, is really amazing as they will bring viewers to Eden, to the time when Jesus lived and executed. Really its a worth watching! :) Picture of me at the terrace seats, before everyone comes... Ha... This is taken in front of the LCD TV. See the amount of spotlights used... wow right... This is the stage area....and there are singers in front and look at the backdrop. They are actually made of paper, wel

Heyhey! Tell you what?? Yesterday was one of my happiest day for the month! Ha! Felix and I have managed to complete 3 material science practical oral exams in one day. Its really a feat because we have never done 2 on the same day and we managed to 'hiong' 3 of them! And that concluded my material science practical in NUS!!! I love the feeling man! Ha... After exiting from my Professor's room, Felix and I high-fived and when we exited the building, I said 'YES' very loud! Ha... but who cares... :) I felt a sense of freedom!! :) I was happy because I swam in school today again. And it was really very good because the weather is freakking hot and dipping myself in the pool cools myself too... Ha... Managed to complete 14 laps in half and hour swim. Ha... I find its quite amazing because this is my first time completing quite alot of laps within the time frame... yeah! After school, I actually had free time and met up with Hisham. Its been 2-3 months eversince we have

This week is totally a week of complete dateline rushing. Felix, my lab partner and I are rushing for 3 practical oral exams this week and not only that, I am hoping that I can complete my song composition be completed this week! Yeah! Going to school makes me feel quite relaxed. And to think that for a full time student, there are actually quite alot of free time one can get. During the free time, they can slot in exercises such as swimming or sleeping. Ha. Anyway, 25 more days to freedom! WOOHOO! By the way, I am contemplating as to whether to get or to rent my Commencement ceremony costume for my graduation... hmm... Coz if I were to buy, I find that keeping it at my home is quite a waste of space... Ha. Picture of my godchildren!! Ha... The cute girl chewing her food is Natnat! Ha.... so cute eh... Do I look like part of them??? Haa.... Picture of me and Xizheng! My birthday Boy! Ha... he loves to play my handphone... haa... Adore him so much!!
