谭腾达2007关键时刻演唱会！
More than 5 months have passed, and in another 2 weeks, my 6 months of critical period will finally be over. With the first 3 months to be one of the most depressing moments and tougest challenge i ever face in my life; and the next 3 being the post challenge period where i finally can do the things i like, relax and condition myself with knowledge and strength.

Every moment is surely meaningful to the extend that i feel that a day is just too short to achieve or even complete anything. Certainly, the only disappointment was unable to complete my book which i started off yrs ago, and im still blaming the fact that i left my manuscipt back in camp.( ps. manuscipt was finally found on 20th during the search of the missing sweater) You just can't achieve Everything can you?

Everybody doesn't like their plans to be ruin, I am of no exception. Especially during the concluding part, anyone will like to end it off in their own way and style. At times like this, we will have no choice but to make the best out of it. Surely, i will just get back something much meaningful in return!

I'm leaving for CHINA on the 23th april. Its a decision i made 3 days ago, and i bought the departure tickets 2 days ago and i just started planning the itineray yesterday. Be going out later to buy some necessities. Yet to buy my return air tickets and the domestic flight around china. Nonetheless, most probably ill be back on the 4th, rest for 2 days and to settle down before starting school on the 7th.

Despite my initial reluctance, i've now successfully psycho myself into feeling excited about this trip by doing up my itineray from scratch. Phew! that is surely not an easy job. No wonder people are willing to pay for travel agency. Fortunately, there exist Sneaky people like me who just tapped into their schedule and steal some ideas for my own vacation planning.

My plan involves ALOT of walking and shopping, and ican imagine me doing it alone with father watching by the side. Night life will be clubbing (its only $5 to club you know), massaging at blind doctor, watching acrobat.... I'm still thinking whether to go opera or not... and of cos their night market! Who knows, i might just buy some china girls back home!

AND this will be the LONGESt period of time i'll be spending with father. Lets hope he will not anger me to throw blood by suddenly doing strange stuff. Me being stubborn and weird? try experiencing 10 fold of it from him.. As i told yimin yesterday,'come to think of it, my family behaves like opposite one lor. Normally its the younger ones disturbing and pastering the older ones. oh well."

Any fans who want to take orders from me can do so now!!
Not much time till the end of my performance, let me perform myself alittle more ba...

I can't emphasize how EAsy it is to make payment electronically.
Spent the entire morning making payment/booking for the domestic guangzhou-beijing flight which added up to 1k plus, and the flight from beijing-singapore which is an amazing $1663. On top of that, was the travel insurance bought for a whopping $110.

Don't really feel much about the money actually. Cos all these while, i'm just typing in father's credit card number (with all the relavant details), click and click then type and type, and receive the confirmation email. IT only shows how emotionless the future machine world can be.... Where is the joy of having someone to introduce to the products and haggle for better price or even try to manipulate you to buy more? where is the joy of having to reach out to your pocket for money and have the slight guilt that you are spenting alittle too much? Or the smile on the face when both parties achieved their aims?

After this, most prob i can memorise his credit card number already. Its really so easy to make payment electronically to the extent that i feel very insecure.
If my credit card got stolen or remembered, people will just keep on buying and buying only when i realise that my bill is horrible like... one month later, when i find out that my card was being used...thinking along that line.

Done packing 40% of my stuff. Lets hope the conclusion of The Moment World tour concert 2007 will be a smashing success!

Show time..

(20th april)
Paying by visa is easy, cancelling is hard. In fact it can ruin your entire day. I've made a wrong move in buying the air tickets from the WRONG agency. Thats where my problem starts. I've spent the entire day having email conversation with this agency. Now trying to reach an agreement on the fee they will charge me for cancelling my tickets.
HEY! they ARE the ones who didn't honour what was agreed, ruined my entire day emailing them, wasted my phone bill on overseas call to verify the information. I've yet to sue them and to think they are CHARGING me for washing my hands off from this MESS.
Yah yah, organisation has the rights to blah blah blah..

I really wanted to email something even more nasty to them, maybe something like this:
"If i would have known better, i might thought that this is some kind of scam for your company to earn adminstration fee from us by forcing us to cancel the flight"
somewhere along that line lah..

AT times i feel that i think that i'm too smart for my own good...

(22nd april)

i'm getting paranoid. Just feel that something bad will happen during this trip.
It made me even more so from the incident below:
I still remember on the 8th feb, i suddenly got 2 hrs free to drop down to meet alex and had to rush off to for my 'other stuff' at 8pm. The 'other stuff'was actually meeting up with the tennis friends. For 2months plus, we never meet up until yesterday.
I've met up with My tennis friends yesterday for bukit timah hike. Today i was at pasir ris on my way home when i suddenly msg gu for fun to meet him up. Just so happened that he was coincidentally round the corner and eventually we had a short meeting. IT is simply so timely, just like the previous time. Can't u seee the similarities?

Sickening, this is just so unbecoming of me....

so Lets just psycho myself a little!
I'm sure there are lots of fun and enjoyable places in China! even brought my scroll along to write down every detail which, i think,can be very inspirational..
When i return, when i starts school. IT will be an ENCORE.]
I have already faced my greatest challenge, nothing can be too difficult to handle...
