train ride to helll
haha! i'm Back from beijing! lolols! i wouldnt consider it much of a trip but its definitely a fun-filled experience and i loved the time i spent there =D lolols! loads of fun hanging out with you guys! Thanks Aik & Hong yi! hahaha =D
well the trip to beijing has really shown and taught me some important things and lessons in my life lolols!!! DON'T MISS YOUR TRAIN! hahahah lolols!!! well yea, i missed my return Train Ride from Beijing to Shanghai last night lolols! well Pretty Scary though.. it was like 7.20 when i reached the station and i heard the last call so yea, i thought not too bad? hahah! well yea who knows when i went there they stopped cutting the tickets.... n i was like O.O! OMGOSH!! hahah =P
well yea, Aik went "give me your ticket" and WOOSH! hahah =P he ran to help me change a ticket lolols! thanks Bro! hahah =P So yea anyways, i had ta get back by today lolols. I told myself, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK im gonna get back to shanghai! n well the rest is OK PLAIN AGONY =P
so here it comes: NICK's SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR STANDING TICKETS TO SHANGHAI FROM BEIJING
Man, when the dude at the counter told me, OK, i've changed your ticket to a standing ticket from bejing to shanghai at 8.15. and NO dont ask me anymore, There aint anymore seats or beds. LOLOLS! well in a way I feel God has really taught me a valuable lesson through this.
n that is to GRAB the OPPORTUNITY when YOU See IT! and BE ON TIME!!!!!
well in case ur wondering why? here comes the story hahah!
so what i'm left with at this point in time is
- Inital plans of sleeping through the journey ---> SCRAPPED
- Standing ticket for 13 HOURS!
- being potentially robbed? hahaha! lolols! of course that didnt happen but yea it went thru my mind u know? lolols! ur with ooolala ppl now =D
- NO MONEY IN MY PHONE!
- potentially hopeless case senario in short!
well i believe God works in mysterious ways and i guess this is God's way of showing me when life throws at you lemons, make lemonade. well I definitely feel hardened by this experience.
at first in the initial 5 hours of the trip i was standing, n man u can guess how hard it was... imagine this narrow space for walking cluttered with people. i tried to sit but yea, oh well scrap that cuz u get people walking back and forth for like EVERY SINGLE TIME I JUST SIT DOWN! ROARRR!!! lolools!! n yea i couldnt call james to tell him that my train has changed timing... which me uber anxious!!
so yea this was when God took me out of my comfort zone as in REALLY OUT of it. if things couldnt get any worse, it did. the police came in checking identification lolols! which they didnt do when i came to beijing. so yea i was like O.O! thank God i brought my Passport!!!! i was expecting some trouble to it being olypmics season and all but to my surprise the Officer glanced at my passport and looked at me: " ok its done =D" lolols! n im like WOW! ahha...
AND JUST AFTER THAT! God answered one of my prayers for getting through the train ride lolols! =D cuz i wanted to sleep SO SO SO bad hahah =P i'd practically rush at anything i could get haha... THE DINING CABIN =D my"Haven" lolols!!
the train attendant came asking if anyone wanted to buy dining cabin tickets and of course, if i'd still stick in my comfort zone i'd most probably have to really stand for the whole journey. but yea something just gave me that push and like Go! i've prepared it for you already. n thats the answer to my prayer. really. the dining cabin had everything, seats, food, water and you know normally if you wear ur contacts for more than 24 hours it probably be dry? I managed to sleep with it till the morning up till now. of course i took it out alrdy n its still MOIST! im like thank GOD =D
man.... n thats nt the end of the story yet. its morning and the cabin closes and 3 more hours to go... so what do u do? walk all the way back to cabin 3..... with a heavy bag and plastic bag. oh yea, the dining cabin is in 9. imagine the walk... UGH! i wouldnt go through that again! really survival instincts when ur at ur bare minimum.
worse part comes now. HIGH TIDE and NO TOILET! so yea the time painfully goes SO SO SO SLOW.... and im off the train and lookin around for a toilet like maddddddd. well yea the rest is history.
Met up with james. My china bro waited for me for 1.5 hours at the station, ran to my house, waited for another 1 hour, went back home which is about 1 hour away and when i called... RUSHED back down. man, I'm so thankful to have a bro like him in china haha =D
we then went to have a REAL GOOD meal after that... i definitely owed him one there. MAN can so many things really happen in one day?
well anyway met kelvin not too long after that and went with him and his colleague, amanda to eat xiao long baos =D different different types! Ma LA xiaolong! bet u havent tried that one yet! hahah! Pretty good and Cheap! hahah =P
then we were off to the Shanghai specialties store to shop for his souveniers =D lolols!! we saw this AMAZING PRO BUTCHER! we told him we wanted 250g of the Meat and Lop... EXACTLY 250g... if we took a picture at that moment.... u would probably laugh at our shellshocked faces! hahah =P dont underestimate butchers! their good with their maths and fractions! hahahah! =P
well im tired... i guess thats enough drama for a day? LOLOLOLS! Thank you so much Lord for bringing me through this and teaching me so many valuable lessons.
Apologies for this SUPER LENGTHY POST =P hahah!

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO DECIDE ON A DATE!?!?!?!
haizzz... call me fickle minded or what not but yea =P I CANT DECIDE! roar someone give me some ideas!!! roarrs =P
well yea that aside... I'm like recently going on a guest pleasure trip....lolols! means i just suddenly have the feeling to give some REALLY Good service lolols!!!
so yea =D n I DID! lololols!!! the guest was so happy she wrote me a card =D lolols! yayness!!! lolols!!
she wrote something like: " Nick from Cafe Studio gave EXCELLENT service". well something like that i cant remember what else she wrote lolols! i forgot to take the letter home -.- its most probably still at the work place lolools! haizzz....
well i guess today USHERing has helped me in a way or two...
Today, we had to carrry some really heavy and huge shit ={ or as my colleagues call it "ang guan cai" means literally carrying coffins hahah! yea its that huge... a few of them anyway...
but the part i hated the most has still definitely has to be the FRIGGIN HEAVY GLASSS PANELS! ROAR!!!!3 gigantic pieces of glass used to lay out on the "coffins" for the beautiful sunday brunch buffet =D when i get back i'll show u the pictures lolols!!!
Imagine a glass panel which is hmm lets say a head taller then me when im standing up... yea that huge... and the scary thing is that my colleagues say that its rumoured that in banquet they carry this huge piece of glass by themshelves... n im like O.o! u gotta be kidding me! well... no amount of moving chairs could ever prepare me for this man! hahahah =P
pretty fun day at work lolols =D we were trying to mimick different accents of the customers we have... well surprisingly thats what i love doing =D hahahahahah! well maybe its not surprising but yea.. .random no doubt lolols!! THIS POST IS SO RANDOM TO BEGIN WITH! hahaha

ughhh!!
I guess its just one of those days when you HAVE inspiration to write and you're too lazy to do it! =P So now, its a barren wasteland but im still gonna write nonetheless =P muahahah! well i guess one of the things that living in Shanghai and abroad has taught me is that no matter what happens the most important thing is to J.K.S - Just keep Smiling! cuz no matter what circumstances or trials you face.
and trust me in china you face ALOT! but well its how you look at it that matters, but well you know me! hahah =P i just keep smiling lols! never thought i would have one of those Shopping Spree moods lolols! but well i guess its a worthwhile purchase? hahah! bought a cap and a pair of quicksilver slips lolols! so COMFORTABLE! hahah man i hate my previous pair =P good riddance hahaha!
im gonna sidetrack abit now hahaha! you know i've been thinking pretty much lately after Cheryl's post on love languages and i guess my love languages might have changed in someway or another but i think its still the same? its something like this:
1. Time
2. Words
3. Touch
4. Service
5. Gifts
well i guess Time is on top of it all cuz to me i believe its the most precious gift anyone can give as Time is something that can't be retrieved when lost =)
Its sort of like an investment of the most expensive kind no? hahaha! if you think of it in an economic/monetary sense lolols! eg. Opportunity cost! haha its all based on how it affects you - the spending of your TIME hahah =P

Life's not very big on giving us chances so make the best of them when they come you way and leave no regrets. but of course =D GOD is very big on giving us second chances =D woo hoo! hahah...

hhaah apart from that i think i know why God sent me here. hahah =p i've been getting some inspirations for a business and funny that it should be that way cuz seems like something like that is in the pipelines back home. well nothings concrete yet. but one things for sure =D when i get back i've got a whole new inspiration on input into our Usher ministry to improve our consistency and values =P hahah! i love making people smile =) hahaha!

perhaps the final post for sing
Hey Guys! this is perhaps my final post while im in Singapore. lols. its gonna be get really busy starting from tomorrow when i start mugging real HARD for the exams.
haha im a late bloomer what can i say haha! even in studying =P haha. i know its a REALLY BAD habit but it gets to me quite alot haha.
I really love these songs that kok seng recommended to me haha! lols! so its up now =D
oh yes! todays VALENTINES =D i know some people who are really happy today haha!
what a day to be holed up at home studying =P haha!
haha im feeling Jazzy now lols! she does have a nice voice lols! coincidentally the singer whos singing these songs now is FROM SINGAPORE! haha talent talent
Been thinking alot lately, after watching FlyWheel last Sat at church, it set me thinking about many issues in my life and i've got to admit theres some areas of my life in which i've not acknowledged God in. Coincidentally the verse that was mentioned in the show, proverbs 3:5-6
really struck me as it was something i brushed off the night before when i decided to read it on my laptop wallpaper.

off i go then
well, i guess its not too long now before i say goodbye for awhile! ahha, at first it started off with a call which i was reluctant to answer. the person on the other line was none other than the one who saved me from this life of misery and sadness. He asked me to go, i asked: "where?" He replied: "China". i thought why? why of all places China when i couldnt even speak the language well and with all that completely unaware of what to do or say but a soft at first reluctant reply, "yes,i will go" there were interviews upon interviews, forms upon forms before where i stand and am today. yes i'm going to china, shanghai to be exact to work.
at first, it was oh wow! its gonna be fun, till they told me sorry no accomadations, no food, nothing and oh you have to process your Visa, your Exit Permit, Your Air Tickets and of course please pack your baggage for below 20kg =). Yes its not too bad, im still Smiling, why? u might ask when i can be in singapore, which i've been offered a place here for 6 months. well i guess thats obedience, no matter what happens i'm not giving up because He never gave up on me.
well enough of the "oh So Sad" sorta feeling! hahah, its gonna be fun =D. things are going to be done independantly and so on and so forth, but yes ill miss all of you guys dearly haha. And oh, from what i know ill be leaving near end Feb. and just Aik Leng said, same here those words "from where i stand right now, thats not long from now". well thats the same meaning but not necessarily the same words hahah =D
i actually wanted to keep to the last minute, as hush as possible but somehow i jsut couldn't ya know? i dont know. to think that i'd be away for this period of time just left me kinda uneasy inside abit, so viola here it is. all better ha.
I'm gonna miss you guys and the times we've spent together....i really am

POSTING!
well yea! i know its been a long long time. well sorry folks for the absence lols! especially for those who mentioned to me about it last sat =P ha!
haha, I've been quite busy this whole time i guess and i really couldn't find the time to blog. haha Opportunity Cost =D, well that is the Benefit must outweigh the cost of doing this activity ha! so today is finally that day so viola!
it kinda seems like theres still a short period of time before i disappear for quite abit. haha, i dont wanna say anything else until its confirmed ha. for those who know what im talking about yea... thanks for the warm regards and dinners and stuff =) really appreciate it. thank you guys =D haha.
at least i wont be alone when im away from home lols! =D
the time is pretty hard to bear, but i guess its a golden opportunity for me to straighten out what i want as well as whether to write the final chapter for one of the stories in my life. i've been dragging it a little too long, even when it seems bleak but somehow theres that something that keeps me holding on.
well till next time! when the benefit outweighs the cost of my time! haha
