Met up with a couple of Old friends over the last few days. Everyone who knew congratulated. Everyone else noticed a different Me. The Yuchi of the Old.
The Cheerful Chap in Class. The Athletic (meaning sun-burned) Guy. The boy with the Sunny smile.
Yah… I’m back.
And there is one reason, Why I found my motivation to Work so Hard. Only One.
It’s because of someone.
Someone… Who revived my passion in Life, Who brought sunshine, Who made me feel special, Who is willing to listen to my jokes,
Someone… Who cares about the blisters and cuts on my hands. Who traveled 90 mins to give me another (cockroach’s diary), Who listens to my problems, Who is willing to cook for a hungry me,
Someone… Who I could bring along for my explorations Who asks about my semi-permanent ankle problems Who gives a decent Back Massage. Who is the only one who I’m fine with her calling me UNCLE.
Thanks, in more ways than one. I’m working hard. I want to make sure that there will be a Beautiful Ending.
Although it means that come April, Xiaoqiang will officially be very BUSY. Because @ current standing…there are so many part time jobs available. So many choices, only 24 hours a day.
Please, Anyone who needs a vacation job, Sms me, I have assignments on hand. I can’t do everything myself.
GTG then, Next assignment calls, but it’s for the last week of ICAs for TEP Classical. Cheeros !!!

Yes..
I'm still awake @ this hour. just knocked off from work, 5 hours before a test i haven't prepared, body shagged from 7 hours of standing, serving, and smiling. still managed to have a quick game of pool before heading the books in a while.
You probably ask, why work so hard? Do you have enough money to use?
Well...that's pretty much the truth. And, i rather occupy myself with work, to at least Save enough. to satisfy my own personal material wants.
Not like some out there, only shamelessly asking their parents for pocket money. and demanding the best things in life, when their parents can barely support their lifestyle.
Sorry, Coz i rather earn my own living. Self-Independence. I rather work for every single dollar out there, so that i know that money is hard to come by, and that i enjoy every single meal i eat, every drink i have, every clothes i purchase, every coffee i drink
Everything, should be earned... Not, By sticking your hands out to your parents for Money.

Maturity
It comes with AGE, It really does.
It’s simply because as we grow up, We see more, we listen more, We have experienced more.
When we are younger, All that matters is FUN. Movies & Karaoke Sports & Play Pool, Hanging Out matters. Studies…Nah… Last minute work will do. Project submission can always be completed the night before.
Late nights out means we are Independent from our parents. Spending money, having the ATM card means spending power. Having the latest mobile or the Armani Exchange shirt means you’re Hip.
That was all in the past.
Personally, I think I have aged more than my peers. It’s probably in the genes, It’s perhaps the environment I’m in, It’s maybe due to all my influences, positive or negative, It’s just who I have become.
I have matured quite a bit the last 3 years. Falling down hard especially after the ‘A’ Levels helped the cause as well.
Planning the journey, taking the next step. Organizing my thoughts, having a goal to work towards.
Yes. I have grown up! Yes. I’m no longer childish. Yes. I have clear directions to follow.
Doors have opened in front of me. All that is left, Is to maintain the momentum…

I think i seriously need to sort out certain things, that's happening in my life.
How to allocate my time, for: Everyone (that matters) & Everything (aka the responsibilities)
A duty to do well academically, An obligation as a son/grandson/big brother, A part time job (actually there may be more to come) to juggle, A commitment to a relationship i hold dear. A brotherhood of friends which i'm still very part of.
Been glad that my grades this semester is still in good shape. still healthy i would say. The final push for final year @ Poly awaits. I dun really wish to hold back anything. Exploring the various avenues available, Scholarships (is there any?) Bonds (probably some around?) Study Loans Options (plenty...) Borrowing (Yes, my uncle is supportive
Although @ 24 years old (next year), it would seems that stepping into the working world is the natural thing. But arming myself with a degree, should at least be like a safety net for future employment.
Still, There's several considerations to be made. Becoz as the eldest = family responsibilities.
While, that's the heavy stuffs in this post. Something else then.
Donuts. Yes, those @ Raffles Place. 120 minutes of Patience was worth it. only one donut turned out a little disappointing.
Well, what matters is that you do things, for your loved ones.
Okay then. shall sign off here. while i keep a certain someone company @ her workplace.
Cheero!

It's been a while……
Since I’ve traveled to the extreme end of our island, Did a bit of domestic chores, Made friend with a hostile pooch, As well as taking care of the physically challenged.
The ‘old’ lady, Got herself temporally paralyzed for the next few days, Got this uncle worried, Thus, The trip down to the rural countryside.
Feed the hungry mouth, Loan out one half of my antique crutches, To facilitate her moving around the house, Hopefully someone appreciated the effort.
Was mentally prepared to face a fierce bow wow, Was pre-warned anyway, But still, Got a hole in my already twice torn jeans, Well, At least we got to know each other a bit better, Blackie… We can make it work…I’m confident.
It’s a lazy afternoon spent, Though the main chunk of the time, Was on the couch watching Taiwanese Teen drama, Enjoyed the company nonetheless.
Rest well, Recover soon, Dun try to act tough,
And please try to be good at least for another 48 hours, For the pig leg to reduce swelling.
Tahan! You can make it thru.
……………………………....…………………………………………………
BTW…
Uncle Xiaoqiang has found financial aid, In terms of a Part time job. Therefore, it’s with regrets that acockroachsdiary, May face a shortage of posts in future, If time do not permit the author to pen his thoughts. However, every effort will be made to continue entertain all readers,
That’s a promise (you actually think I will give up blogging? Nah…won’t happen!)

What kind of a lover are you? Here's some thoughts...
Are you someone who’s Possessive, or simply Protective of your loved ones?
Are you more Practical, or prefer something more Romantic?
Are you leaning towards Metrosexuality, or one who is Retrosexual?
Are you easily Jealous, or Have Complete Trust?
Would you Dress Up most times, or choose to be Casual and Comfortable?
Would you give 999 Roses, or a bright Sunflower?
Would you propose with the buying a HDB flat question, or something more Creative?
Do you do something extravagant, or Spend Quality Time Together in a nice littlle corner?
Do you spend at a Posh Restaurant, or do you go for a Picnic at a Beach?
Do you go to the Same Old Places, or take every opportunity to Explore Something New?
I’m the latter, and as i explore further into my new found love life, how about you?
Happy 1 month/4 weeks/28 days anniversary to my favourite fruit, the cheerful Pineapple from Jurong.
(i'm like a few mins late to post this entry, should be posted on the 10th)

Have not been bloggin for the past couple of days. My home PC is giving me plenty of problems. Irritating to say the least.
Maybe a visit to the PC show is what's needed. Perhaps robbing my mum to get a laptop could make ammends for the week's IT mishaps.
Let's see how it goes.

Broke. Financially-wise.
The wallet is feeling so light and empty, The numbers in the bank account dun look too good either. Taking every steps on the road, involves looking for coins and money notes on the ground.
The minds drifts, of every possibility of striking lottery. Hongbao Toto this friday, is not helping either.
I need a Part time Job badly. In fact, i will do nicely balancing 2 jobs, maybe 3 jobs.
Help greatly appreciated. Assistance very much needed.
Xiaoqiang feels Poor...
