decisions galore foc

im still contemplating.....whether to work at sheik's store or not. i know itll be fun and i know i can squeeze in revisions while working if i bothered and i know i could use the money to pay for my bills and perhaps give mom more. theres simply more advantages being compared to several much lesser disadvantages but disadvantages that weighs rather heavily. 1.disadvantage-my life daily only starts after the stores close-i meant freedom to roam around and do what i want. 2.i have to come up with a major time table and to stick to it in order to keep everything in order, meaning my studies and all. i have to stick to the time-table no exceptions as one exception would lead to another. thats pretty much it, 2 disadvantages but major ones. and the second one is rather risky, if i can discipline myself there wont be a problem. if i take up the job i hope my frens would understand when they hear alot of 'No' from me. its not that i dont want to probably i just cant. hmm we'll see...

2nd major issue.....my teevee passed on........sob sob...hey wait a minute, great excuse to get LCD!!!!

3rd major issue X8-400 or not.......

taa......wana go skating....cheerios....

stereotypical idiots

we are merely humans and some humans just cant help but to stereotype certain type of people. each and everyone is unique. and all of us are merely humans, we make mistakes and unless those mistakes repeatedly occur over a period of time those mistakes are purely mistakes. but some people have already put that sticky label on the the victim's forehead with adhesive stronger than 3M quality. poor chap being discriminated, being stereotyped lifelong for his one-time mistake. bcos of his one-time mistake ppl judge and be wary when in his presence and they talk and stab when he is not around. however this individual is not dumb, so he played along but soon self-fulfilling phenomena becomes a reality and in the long run the individual start to behave the way the rest expect him to be and soon he becomes the despised, the shunned.

if there is such a someone, i would tell him, its not the end of the world. as long as your heart pumps blood to your organs and that includes ur brain, use it to start afresh, come up with a plan for your life. the more you think, the more brain cells are being used, the smarter you get. you can say the brain cells has a similarity to that of your brawn, your muscles.....similarly don't overly stress it at the same time just like the muscles it will breakdown and become diseased or injured that's when you can be 'checked-in' to where ill be working in a years time. hurhurhur.....

job board shop

worrying facts

Youths at high risk of dangerous sexual practices
YOUNG Singaporeans are becoming more sexually active and it seems they may be practicing dangerous sexual practices.

That's according to a survey by pharmaceutical company Bayer Schering Pharma Singapore and Youth.SG an online youth portal.

The study showed that 13 per cent of youths aged between 16 and 23 are sexually active.

Within this group, 4 per cent have multiple partners.

The sexual health survey, conducted between April and June this year covered 600 youths.

While many participants indicated a high awareness of safe sex practices, it seems that there is still a high chance that those who are sexually active do not use proper protection.

Of the sexually active lot, 23 per cent said they did not use any contraceptive methods and only half said they use condoms.

A mere six per cent said they were on birth control pills.

Health experts say that a combined condom and oral contraceptive sexual responsibility approach is necessary in order to tackle high abortion rates and sexually transmitted disease cases.

From 2001 to 2005, there was an average of 1,500 teen abortions every year, making up about 12 per cent of total abortions annually.

In a separate survey conducted by the Ministry of Health in March, it was discovered that 678 youths aged 10 to 19 had sought help for sexually transmitted diseases - a spike from the 256 figure recorded in 2001.

With an upward trend of harmful sexual practices among Singaporean youths, health experts and government officials are seeing a need to educate teens about the right practices and means to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies and STDs.

Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports Teo Ser Luck said: 'We'll continuously engage MOE to come up with different educational programmes and projects and make it a bit more structured within the schools and also for the young people.'

However, he added that parents were ultimately the best people to talk to their children about initmate issues, such as sex.

One of the initiatives targeted at educating young people was the 'Say Yes!' to sexual responsibility cartoon design contest which involved participants from tertiary institutes.

Organised by Youth.SG and Bayer, the contest's objective was to highlight the various misconceptions youths had about sex.

Ia menghantui fikiran ku....

korang ingat apa?....takda la...cuma gian nak skate jer.....ada good and bad news la regarding skate......bad news, i cant help ds3 to get the stocks of wheel sets for our frens like adisam and mimi-siku......will get them next month....shipment will be in then....and the good news....mann bought grindkings last week...he used over the weekends and it doesnt suit him, so he got a pair of indys and now he's selling me the GKs at only 30bucks and i promised him id pay end of the month....heheheh great deal, couldnt resist the offer....GKs are my favourite trucks.....

i just completed my mental-health assignment, gonna edit a couple of stuffs before going to bed.....im opting for an xray somewhere end of next month after everything settled down....just curious...and probably a stitch up.....cheerios...good night...

old age....

hmm....i was telling my fren, if i get terminally ill after 50 or 60 i think i dont care already.....last night my imagination ran wild, i was wondering if i became ill or paralyzed like my grandfather, would my wife or children still take care of me lovingly, would my wife still be devoted to me?

i still remembered when i teared at my atuk's funeral......i remembered how he loved me, how he showered me with love although i only get to meet him weekends or during the school holidays. i cried because i know id miss him and i cried because when i grown up and have many friends i forgot all about him. my grandfather passed away at home when i was outside skateboarding with my friends back when i was 18 or 19..I cant recall. He was down with CVA also known as stroke, his right side of his body was paralyzed, he moved around on wheelchair or his arm crutches. he was lucky to have my grandmother who still take cares of him back then. i was still young, i never really observed if his children took care of him with love.

sometimes you just cant help but to think of the future. i think wen i meet someone to share my life with, my proposal statement would go something like this "will u take care of me if i am bed bound or wheel chair bound when im old?" then only i will ask "will u marry me.." LoL

nursing changed me, my mindset, some of my character and principles in life. i realised how precious life is and how Islam comes into the picture. why are there certain do's and dont's.

i worry for some of my frens, i do worry for myself too but i can only do so much. i can provide information but thats that, its up to them ultimately. many issues still remain a taboo, still is uncomfortable yet important to discuss about. some issues are still attached to meanings like masculanity which the ego refuses to eliminate.

sometimes i pray i have the strength but sometimes i too am swayed by emotions, greed and desires, after all we are only human. and human is what im becoming....

yes, im becoming more human, thats what i feel. i was ignorant, really ignorant. talk is easy, doing is way tougher than talking or thinking about what you wanna do. im sorry if i sound like im whining but its just one of those days when you do self-reflection and you realize what you really are, what you are made of and who you really want to be. im sure you all have one of those days too.....

Price Hike

Im feeling the pinch.....the hike in everything that involves money is starting to take effect.....i was shocked, it was daylight robbery when the insurance company mentioned of the increase in their premiums. last year i only paid around less than $300 but this time around it shot up to $440 and after my NCD it is $400....that sure burn a hole in my pocket, not mentioning the road tax which is $80 and service charge of $5.....i deposited $50. which means i have to fork out another $435.... im lucky that DS3 brought me a little income...shaun paid me $36 for bearings just now and tommorow im expecting $90 from simon. that certainly would help me a little. and if a supplier refunded me for the items that never reached me, everything would be a little better, id be able to breathe a little easier...else you can expect me to loose a couple of kilos this month....heh!
