I knew this was coming. I knew I will have to do this. I am selling my 2 month old, refurbished, 8GB, black, 3rd Generation iPod nano to fund myself a new 4th Generation iPod nano.
10/10 Condition. It has NO flaws on body as it was fitted into the DLO Jam Jacket with Earbud Management upon unpacking as shown in the picture. It has NO scratches on screen.
I bought this from Apple Store SG, at the current price of $218. I think it’s only fair that its value depreciate through my 2 months of minimal usage. I am going to sell my iPod 3G nano for $168 with whatever it came with and I am also throwing in the DLO Jam Jacket with Earbud Management (worth $39) for FREE.

Ambitions

Years ago when I was in kindergarten, my teacher asked us to draw or write about our ambitions. I remember clearly that I drew a policeman. I was a NPCC cadet when I was in secondary school. That was the closest I was… No, I no longer want to be a policeman now.
Recently, I realise the importance and power of ambitions, dreams and goals. I realise that most people around us don’t know what do they really want. They have nothing in mind to strive towards. I am also one such person so I’ve got no right to comment on others. We’re all bumpers. Bumping along the education system. However, striving to be the best in whatever we’re doing can be a goal. I must strive to do my best in my national service and in my studies.
I made myself a list of interesting jobs which seem so impossible. Earning your keep by doing something you love and certainly have fun. I would love to be a:
- Traveller like Anthony Bourdain
- Party Planner like David Tutera
- Financial Advisor like Suze Orman
- Foodie like Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver
- Entrepreneur
- Actor like Johnny Depp
- Fashionista
- Talk Show Host like Oprah
- Journalist like Anderson Cooper
What’re your ambitions? Maybe time to start dreaming…
Here I Come, SMU
Posted by: Dickson on: September 9, 2008
After years of lamenting whether I will be able to enter a local University with my ailing school results, I am glad to announce that I am offered admission into Singapore Management University (SMU)’s Bachelor of Business Management programme at Lee Kong Chian School of Business (LKCSB) for the Academic Year 2010-11.
Yes, this is rather late news. I received the notification on 20 June. I had also previously wrote a note at Mr. D. Well, I haven’t had a chance to write about it until now since I haven’t been blogging…
Yes, I am going to Business Management instead of Accountancy. Actually I was first offered admission to the Accountancy programme at SMU but I appealed to Business Management and I got it. Being offered Accountancy was great because I screwed up my interview. Having my appeal gone through was unbelieveable.
Yes, a Business Management degree is known to be more general than an Accountancy degree. However, I am planning to work towards the specialised tracks of Wealth Management or Investment Banking within the degree. If I manage some funding from scholarships, I might want to try doing a second major in Law or Social Sciences also. I think the Li Ka Shing Library will be my second home… Hopefully, I will be able to go on an exchange programme at one of the over 140 universities in 41 countries.
I know I am so going to have fun in the vibrant school environment. For now, I have to concentrate on fulfilling my national service liability first…
Graduated!

Work’s been depleting all my time and energy that I have got nothing left to blog. My tumblelog has all my latest updates, so keep a lookout on that RSS feed on the right. Here’s a really overdue video…

To celebrate my parents’ 21st Anniversary, we went to Waraku Central before watching the Arts Festival Opening at Boat Quay.

After dinner at Hip Diners with Jin, we proceeded to meet Kai at the Cineleisure carpark which cost him a bomb for maybe 15 minutes of parking…
We headed to Plaza Singapura where I collected our movie tickets and headed to Yoshinoya where Gela and Kai had their dinner before our movie, Iron man. It was boring in the beginning but started to slowly pick up but I thought there weren’t enough action…
After movie, we went to have Selegie Tau Huay. After Tau Huay, I didn’t want to go home yet so I suggested to have a little walk around LaSalle which is just down the road…

This is really late. 1 1/2 months since my trip to Pattaya in March. There’s so many pictures I have to do this in parts… The morning of my departure on 11 March, my laptop broke… Trip spoiler!
“Locked out” of my laptop, I decided to see what my brother’s doing while Mom was getting ready… As usual, engrossed in his CARS…
We were flying to Bangkok on an early evening flight so we had early dinner at Earle in T3 before going to T2 on the Sky Train where we take the shuttle bus to the Budget Terminal.
And so we flew to Bangkok and met Dad at the Airport. We checked into Grand Diamond Hotel for the night and set off to Pattaya the next morning.

Recovering from my little flu, I went to meet Li Ting and Edward at Meridien Hotel 3 Saturdays ago. That Edward had me alight at Heeren and then board another bus to meet them at Meridien because he didn’t receive my SMSes in time…
I withdrew some money before heading to the basement Food Court. They first had ice kachang then fries…
Edward’s got an ugly expression… =/
We started to contact Allan, Joe Wei and Mei Yi out. It was at first planned that we will meet Allan and Joe Wei at Dover MRT Station for dinner because Allan has a camp in SP. Later when we were already on the MRT platform, Allan told us he won’t be able to make it. Since we were already on the platform, we went to City Hall for a walk…
We went to CitiLink and Raffles City. Li Ting and I made a GREAT DISCOVERY about the escalators leading up to Raffles City from City Hall MRT Station… We realised that when there’re less people on the escalator going up, that escalator will go faster. When there’re more people on the escalator going down, it will go faster. Why is that so?
GRAVITY!
I am lazy to continue explaining the details but I trust you should be able to work out the details on your own…
When we were browsing at Trints, Jin called. I didn’t expect Jin and Kai to be so early. We had planned earlier to have supper at Tong Shui Cafe in Bugis. I asked Li Ting and Edward along. We managed to get on to Kai’s van after a bit of miscommunication about the taxi stands and Starbucks in Raffles City…
I am glad that Jin, Li Ting, Edward and Kai got along well. Somehow I just feel happy that my friends can meet my other friends and we can all become one big family!
After supper, Kai sent Li Ting and Edward home before we got back to Bukit Panjang. I came home and drove out to fetch Kai and Jin at Kai’s place. I wanted to have some McD’s at King Albert Park and also explain some things to Kai…
After our second supper, I sent the 2 home and finally got home after a long evening…
