2008

one hell of a year it has been for me....
the 1st year ever out of school life into college life
the 1st year ever going through working life(my dad's life)
the 1st year ever i can actually talk to girls without feeling uncomfortable

guess which is mine? guess guess!
*hint* its blue n i'm particular with my parking.

(jun guan did that if u muz know)

quite a big leap for me though.....

went through a lot of things....
experience a lot of things....
and learnt a lot of things....



met alot of new friends.....
got to know more about ppl that i already know.....
got in into a totally new environment....

what a year its has been........

In The BEGINNING.


from the start of the year i was under BC Pest Technologies.
Thats my father's own company. i worked for my dad.
to be truthful.... i used to be a little embarrassed when ppl ask wat my dad does for a living.
He does Pest Control.
he deals with all sorts of pest.... from termites to animal control.
basically he handles all the dirty stuff normal ppl wouldn't want to handle.
all the messy jobs...

like when u have a dead rat in ur house, he's the man ppl would call.....
like when u have a cockroach problem, he's the man ppl would call.....

[if u DO have this problems like this, pls contact 016-4228995, special discounts will be given to marcuslim's frens. hehe]

and that man happen to be my father..... at one time i actually sort off looked down at my own dad.....

"Eeyeer! He does THAT?!?"

but after the few months i went thru with him..... BOY! am i proud to have a father like him.....
its reali shows how much a father would go through to support his family.....

u think its easy LOCATING a dead rat?
when the very second u open the door to the room with a dead rat, u would wish u were as dead as the rat.... the awful smell alone is able to knock anyone unconscious..... we're talking about an enclosed area... where the smell has been contained for a quite a while....

But this Man has to walk straight in.... take a breath IN THE ROOM.... and find the source of the smell.... which will ultimately lead us to the carcass.... i have yet to master that skill.... i juz cant.

locating is juz the start.... and then disposal? its not a very decent experience....

actually these few months with him was very crucial in our father n son relationship...... i can now proudly say that this Man over here is my dad n this is wat WE DO!
learnt SOOOOO much from him....

and i also did SOOOOO many things i never thought of doing(nicer told by mouth + actions)...... all the odd odd jobs.... i definitely enjoyed my time working under my dad....


P/S : if i'm not mistaken, my dad went to Cheng Yee's house to spray insecticide before....
hahaha... realise it after she told me where she lived. i think its her. should be... correct me if i'm wrong.

sorry not much pics... i dun think of taking pictures when i'm working my ass off....

anyway... moving on

In The MIDDLE

after BC pest was college... enrolled in Inti n was quite happy with it.
i already blog about it a couple of times so i wont reali go deep into it again.
i'll juz highlight crucial parts.

met a lot wonderful people here in Inti
They made it a nice place
i enjoyed my time here

sometimes it was monotonous and routine but sometimes its also quite fun.

HAHA! 1 thing i was quite proud of, my Hokkien went on geometric progression since i joined.
basically in a class of nearly 70 people. only 10 speak English on a daily basis.
i thought i was going to be like those lone rangers at the corner minding their own business but no....
i'm not that kind of person.. i'll die like that.....

the tough times we been through
(as usual wen ping is always the saddest. HAHA)

well, when English dun go well with them n Mandarin dont go well with me.
Hokkien came into the picture! of course, i still had difficulties but at least there's progress....
(better than learning mandarin from scratch)
n to think that once upon a time Hokkien the ONLY language i know.
all in all, i can now speak Hokkien with an English dialect.
Inti Certified.

The happy times we had.

(to return all the pain we caused him... Thx Ping!)

went through 2 semesters of Diploma in Electric and Electronics.
got a Certificate of Merit for one of them. (who would have thought?)


successfully OVERNIGHT-ed at college.
was doing the bluudy project that can make ur whole house blackout.


In The END.

when i got suited with the environment, i begin to get more sloppy.
i no longer pay much attention in class nor do much (or any) homework....
i get interested very quickly but also loses interest juz as easily.... that's bad.
i begin to let joel do my assignments... haha! thanks man. n sorry.
Joel, slap me if i ever do that again!
didnt have enough semangat in the 2nd semester.

had 2 months holidays at the end of the year......
i cant reali remember wat i did.... basically achieved nothing....
i juz remember going out n eat a lot... movie here there... n jogging n hiking n the unfortunate sunrise sunset.
but 1 thing i shall remember for life in this holidays.....

dislocation #2.....

mistakes done....
lessons learnt....
hearts broken....
attitude fixed....
minds go insane....
brains filled knowledge...
arm gotten weaker...
mouth gotten louder...
glasses get thicker....
panda eyes get wider...
course gets tougher....
frens get closer...

all the things that i have done... some with regrets n some with pride n honour.....
lets just say if things get "torn", we can always "sew" it back.
it will definitely leave a mark.... a mark we will all remember... and makes us all a step closer to being a man(or woman/lady/whatsoever).
for the good or for the worst.... i'm glad it happened the way it did.

2008 was a great year.... i'm looking forward to 2009...
