lol, the bo-liao me has been rather bored recently and decided to go online and check up on the procedure as to how i can change my name (as in legally under the law of singapore, not change for fun).i don't really want an english name, & i'm quite sick of my own current name already.
to my utmost surprise, it is actually very easy!!! :O
i just need to go the ICA building, with some simple supporting documents, pay $60 and wait to collect my new ic with my new name on it on the same day itself!
but then later, i found out that it is not as simple as it sounds.
imagine all the people i know of and have to notify (that i have changed my name already), my school, my letter that i've just sent to mindef (have to resend with my new name on), my passport, my student card, my EZ-link card, my debit card, my clothing discount cards, EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING!!!
suddenly it seems so difficult and troublesome.
& my elder relatives might not be able to condone such a behaviour.
although i was only thinking of using the other name which the fortune teller gave my parents after my birth and before i got my current name.
i think it definitely sounds better than 'wei lun' and it's just as 'auspicious' according to him.
wei lun wei lun wei lun. so common. wtf. why didn't my parents choose the other one?
damn it. next time when i name my child, i must name him/her uniquely.
& did i mention that wei (伟) is just as bad as xiao (小) and da (大)? no meaning at all.
why other chinese speaking country people have such cool sounding names like 萧 (xiao1) and 帅 (shuai4)?
like you know, 萧敬腾 (xiao jing teng),元帅 (yuan shuai), 劉宣 (*walan eh! don't even know how to pronounce the first character* xuan) and stuff like that.
like the name can FLY AND SOAR INTO THE SKY that kind of 'feel' you know?
i think it's because my parents were afraid that it would be difficult for me to recognise and learn how to write my name if my name was to be something like 萧敬腾, so they decided to give me a simpler name.
imagine a 4 year old learning how to write that. imba. can take forever can?
can't blame la, singapore chinese standard like that one lor.

anyway, i got back my RCD paper yesterday. so shocking! i scored 86!!!
as my lecturer praised me, "very well done."
i almost replied, "but they only want medium rare." OMG!! think work too much already. rcd paper become beef steak. hahahahaha..
as for APMC, soso lo, only 65. theory papers as usual, always expecting to score 90 plus but in the end, always get 60 plus one. very standard. i have pretty much accepted the fact that i'm bad at memorising stuff already.

some other purchases.
i swear these are the most comfy, fitting and nicest looking underwears i've ever worn.
puts everything inside in place neatly.
& did i mention that i hate boxers? make the *ahem* so saggy. how can guys like wearing boxers? i don't understand.

it seems like my ipod shuffle is an antique now, though it's only pathetically 512 MB (half a GB). nowadays, the lousiest ipod nano is also 16GB if i'm not wrong.
there's this classmate of mine who wants to buy my mp3 as a gift for his girlfriend. you see what i mean? technology gadgets can also be worth money after so many years, even apple stopped production for this model. got money also cannot buy one okay!!
actually i'm still very fond of it. not that i want to brag k... an ipod shuffle like mine is called 'classy'. the new small ones are called bullshit, little clones that are still available in the market for a hundred plus?
so what if they are smaller (until almost cannot see, you might just lose it so easily), can be clipped on to any parts of your body, available in so many other colours (oh but too bad you only get to choose one colour, unless you're intending to buy the whole collection?) and have bigger memory space?
SO WHAT????
my ipod is the essence of all apple mp3s, pure and white as he is, he is the first, he is the father of all apple mp3s, in the line of history!!!
wooow!! i can make a useless thing sound so phenomenal.
