argh! i was so frustrated that i cant reach the height requirements. i want to take roller coaster! that was my thinking at age 5. lol.

Euro 2008 is over... this is my first time where I have earn some $ in my betting... haha.

Is no good to bet so much i know. But once a while, for the fun of it only, and i have learn a lesson...
Betting is a form of relaxation, never bet too much on one match. I have learn a painful lesson.
Life is full of learning opportunities... lol. so betting also gave you something to learn. This is call the art of betting.

Yea, many people said Jaren is full of crap. So being crappy is a compliment or an insult? Becos good point is one is a joker? Bad point is one who talks rubbish? And no one will take your words seriously...

No, I am serious at time. Maybe it was just an impression that i gave ppl thru my conservations.
Crap?--> no.

Chill out with my dear friends at Clarke quay... nice setting, nice loud music.

Happy birthday to Xiu and fang rui!! So many humans birthday these 2 weeks. 9 friends brithday in these 2 weeks. tell me, why is it so cool to be born within these 2 weeks of the year? haha...

What's relationship between boy and girl?
Recently, I encountered this case

A boy and girl about to get married.
House bought. Wedding dinner booked.
Rings bought. Invitation cards ready.
Date of Marriage booked.

Separated recently.
Tell me why, when 2 humans are so madly in love
About to get married
And they each go their own way now.
The only consolation is that:
They have not officially married.

Is it better ya this way than get married later and discovered differences.
Quarrel. . .

Another case,
Girl was heart broken because she was being dumped.
She desperately looking for love with any other boy.
Tell me, is that love or lust?

Another case.
Boy and girl madly in love.
Call / sms each other every hour.
Its just a dinner, but phone keep ringing.
It wasnt like that in the past.
Guess love changes everything.
If it make one happy, then go ahead.
Suan le, I have no comments.

To me, I only hope I will find the one and only her one day.
I admit I am virgin to boy-girl relationship.
I have almost zero experience as compared to my friends.
But I know I will find the only girl and marry her
I dun wish nor like the experience of ''trying out'' when my friends say that.
Try out? Is relationship a game to youngsters now?

IT has been a nice week for mr jaren...

Went to many buffets for the past 4 days in a row, till now felt so guilty... i need to exercise more, cos keep eating but no sweat... cannot!~

Next: Exercise, exercise. exercise!!

My Justin birthday... 2 yrs old, yeah!~ =) My boy, he's just too cute and smart..

Went to acting assignment (Channel U show) during my off days.. it has been so difficult to change shift with my colleagues .... everyone cant seem to change with me... guess i have to live with it. =)


Venue: Classroom
Role: Student
To cheer for my ''classmate''... and to act as good student...

it has since a long time i took pics in sch uniform...the reason i took this was everyone was so bored waiting for the scene to go under camera, so we all whipped out camera and snap ... so i follow. lol.

Many emotions running thru my head now after watching a tv show on channel U...

It recall my memories i had after years of travelling to the different countries... to me, I think travelling really opens up one mind. And the tv show only confirm my believe.

I have been to one of the poorest countries in the world- Cambodia. Ya, it is not so far away from Singapore. Its only 2 hr flight from Singapore. But yet, there the people are living in poverty... Unlike Singapore, our home country.

I always felt the most noble people would be the ones who care for the world, and not just themselves. I would take my hat off and respect those who unselfishly share their love with others in less developed parts of the world. They need our help, our concern.

In Cambodia, their houses tattered and torn. I have personally been to a poor village there and seen it myself. During rainy days, their house would be wet. But they are so poor to rebuild their house, they just sleep with it .... Their stomach bloated up, lack of nutrition.

Some of my friends ever commented in the past: '' Jaren is a stingy fellow.'' Last time, i tried to deny it... But actually, i am lazy to explain it cos i know they will say bullshit. So now, i have learn just to smile and try to ignore those comments. Because they don't know, i have always wanted to save up $ and further my studies.

Only able to support oneself, you can then give and help others. I would tried my best to provide myself with a comfortable life, and then i would help the less fortunate. My friends, if you do remember maybe i did say :'' Don't waste food... '' do you know why?? People do not have food to eat, i was so sad when i heard from first hand that they did not have $ to buy food. And the children i felt is most unlucky there.

I believe everyone should be given an equal chance/ opportunity to live. However, these kids due to their poor environment, they have nothing and have to work so hard. Deprive of their childhood and education which can lead to a better future for them.

When i am back in singapore, i see my friends around me. They spend wildly, eating out at high end restaurants, yes you can do that of cos! i admit i does that too once in a while to make myself happy ... but not so often i hope my friends. Why not just save up that expensive meal and donate to others ...

My friends buy the latest camera, latest handphone, latest whatever gadget... i'm not interested. Becos to me, as long as i can take pics, my handphone allows me to call, sms, and take pic that is enough already. what for do you need to have the latest and best gadget? To me, these are unimportant stuff.

What's important is to make this world a better place to live in, my fellow friends. I really hope to give back to the society one fine day and i know i would.. as the saying goes, nothing is impossible. Believe. And keep on working hard towards our goals.

We often take things for granted. Not till one pass away, do we realize how impt he/she is.
I have seen examples of it.
And i dun want to fall into it.

I love my family.
I love my ah ma esspecially so.
She's the one always for me.
I'm glad i got to spend quality time with her whenever i am free.

Recently, my senior died in the army incident.
It is a sad thing to know such a young teenager,
Full of hope and energy,
Has sadly leave this world.

He aspires to be a pilot just like me.
I actually do envy him a little simply he got to fly or rather about to fly.
Flying is the greatest achivement for me if i can do so one day and i know i will
Be it privately or commerically, i will fufill my childhood dream.

Seeing at how people crying over his wake
Leaving comments about him
How good he was when he was alive,
How nice he is and stuff

I wonder really
What people will say of me?
I really dun want till the day on my deathbed,
Or in my wake,
I cant hear by then.

I totally forget about my grad. photo. when i saw the env. which reads my name and grad. photos. and i was like '' what's this shit?? '' and it turns out to be these 2 photos...
Since i am here crapping about grad. photos, these are some fotos taken on that fateful day . . .


And this is my dear ah ma, who has taken the pain to take care Mr. Jaren during his days at temasek poly... thanks, ah ma!~
This is pig brenda . . . only got to know each other during our internship. weird. Wenqi behind. and he whined that he nv took foto with me.. there it is dude. u ''took photo'' with me ma.. indirectly.

I realized my year 1 poly mates took photos without me inside.. haha. =) its okay, maybe i was MIA and they din notice me... =)

My off day. finally. give me a break, kit kat somebody!~~ sleeping whole day, tonight wish me luck in soccer matches. =)

Cooking. =)

My egg.

New creation from Jaren's brain and years of cooking experience. haha. Taste a bit strange, maybe add too much liquor le. Its okay, room for improvement.
I still havent master the art of baking cookies and cakes... i would want to learn it... but the sad thing is i don't owe a baking oven at home. and it make senseless if i go and buy it. Someone *ahem* u know who you are... have baking oven, say want to bake for me to eat cookie, and try the P.Salad... till now, havent try leh... haha. =P

This was what use to be my Saturdays.. playing soccer at our home turf : Kembangan.
But now, it remains a distant dream for me. Watching EURO 2008, i really wish to get back on the field and show what a defender should do.

Yes, i believe i am born as a defender, not a striker. haha, i love to slide humans, and clear ball on the goal line. That's my job. Anw, guys, all the best in your army stint. If fated, we will meet in the army camp. =P

when is my off day, he will be at my home ....
