'Jackie Chan' sells fish in Singapore

"Jackie Chan" is selling fish in Singapore.

Fish monger Zhang Sui Xing, 48, is a spitting image of the famous Hong Kong action movie star and has been mistaken for Jackie Chan by many who met him at the market in Empress Road.

Zhang, who has operated his fish stall there for over 20 years, has become a popular icon at the wet market.

"My business is very good. Many customers will call me 'Chen Long' (Jackie's Chinese name).

"They also introduce many friends to buy my fish," he told Shin Min Daily.

Zhang said he has never met Jackie Chan in person but has watched all his movies.

"Many people had said I looked like Jackie Chan even when I was in my 20s," he said, adding that he also played the role of 'Jackie Chan' in the movie I Not Stupid.

He said many people have sought autographs from him.

"When I told them I am not Jackie Chan, they would ask if I'm his brother," he said.

a warning letter to a toilet-abuser. posted up in Sheares Hall block A, male toilet.

we,NUS students totally abhor writing academic essays. but when provoked, turns out that we can vomit out some pretty good ones, too. :)

settle for 2nd best? NEVER.

Sometimes, when we are too accustomed to a  certain "thing", it gets glued into our personality. and it becomes almost inseparable from us. that might be a positive thing for some, and sometimes it might be a negative one. it depends. so how do we know whether you're stuck with that "thing" just because you really need it or is it just because you've grown too accustomed to it? well, i'd say to be true to your heart, then.

deep down inside, we know that we deserve better. but what stops us from moving on is just fear. the fear of not knowing what the future holds. the fear of risking it all. but what gains come without risks? therefore, in order to achieve greater happiness, greater risks must be accommodated. we should never ever force ourselves to be contented and settle for second best. Accept ONLY the best! 
We only get to live once, so don't waste life!

therefore, i have come to a conclusion, (after completing this blog) :  i'll take the risk. 

i know that deep down in my heart, it is the right decision. and so i shall PERSEVERE. 

i MUST if i ever want to be happy.

i know i shall find the right "thing" soon enough. :)

graduation? oh shit.

it's already the 4th week into the sem. Time flies, and yet it felt like it was just last week that i came back to Singapore after the hols. Reality FINALLY hit me. I'll be graduating bloody soon, in roughly 10 weeks!! ZOMG!! I've always been complaining about all the shit NUS has thrown at me, and how crappy it is to have to go through all their brain-raping exams.

however, this sem, i choose to complain no more. It is, after all, the final straw. And although i've always thought that working life would be a gazillion times better than studying, the finality of graduating has smacked me hard in the face. There won't be any turning back now, as much as i'd like to. And as much as i hate growing up, my body oxidizes  every single time i breathe. (damn bo pian lo!) When i start my career, playing truant (just because i had a late night out with friends) just won't do anymore. i will be forced to conform to the monotonous routine of working life. and yes,  ITTTT IZZZZZZ DEPREZZZZINNNGGGG!

but life goes on. i'm been training myself nowadays to think positively, and lately, it's been easier for me to focus on the more positive side of things.  it also makes me a much happier person, too. at the moment, i'm just living my uni life to its fullest. i plan to mug damn hard, and also party hard too. :) am looking forward to spending as much time with my uni mates as possible before i grad. i am ABSOLUTELY certain that i will be missing just about everything about nus when it's over. 

most of my friends will be graduating this semester. i wish all of you the very best and may you be blessed with wisdom to transition into the next chapter of your life.  *do pray for me too!*

having loads of stuff on my mind nowadays, and i thought that it would help me to just crap it out here. altho hardly anybody reads this shit anyways. hehh

i promise to love you more if you visit frequently. :)) *mwahs*
