The men don’t get it..

The men don’t get it.
Not that Ladies Card i'm talking about.

What i referring to is: Depression.



Do you know, Men can also get Depression too?

Article from HERE, says that each year, depression affects about 6 million American men and 12 million American women.

And the symptoms (for male) are:
* Anger and frustration
* Violent behavior
* Losing weight without trying
* Taking risks, such as reckless driving and extramarital sex
* Loss of concentration
* Isolation from family and friends
* Avoiding pleasurable activities
* Fatigue
* Loss of interest in work, hobbies and sex
* Alcohol or substance abuse
* Misuse of prescription medication
* Thoughts of suicide

More to read over HERE.

Purpose of this post, you wondering?

Of course, firstly its to share the knowledge of Men can get Depression too. And after some 'internal battle' of the mind, i decide to disclose that, i am actually out of job, for a month. Some of you know it, some don't. (Sigh of relief, after i typed this.)

Yup, the new work i got to, was not something i like, so i left the place.

I do feel emotional and lost as time pass, day by day, sounds like depression. I hope i have not offended anyone, so far?

Thank you to the concerns of the friends, on Facebook (Some did it too openly,though..), Twitter(Many encouraging Tweets!), and of course the real life friends! (For the smses and calls..)

Resumes are being sent, job agencies did call, interviews were attended.
Their standard replies: "We will call you."
However, seldom they came.

What i facing now is the awaiting of an job opening and being offered for me, so that i can bring myself up and move forward again!

To those facing obstacles (like me now.), it will be over very soon.

Do Not Give Up~

However if anyone of my friends have accounting or temp jobs to offer, please call/email me at : soh.hongwei@yahoo.com.sg ok? =)

I thank you for reading.

Is your Facebook profile picture good enough?

Saw this video posted from my friend on Facebook.



After watching this, i went to take a look at my profile picture.

Then Ru Hua (如花） the character who always appear in Stephen Chow's movie, the image flashed through my mind..



And if you still don't know....
Share with you, video...



And so, i went back to my Facebook account.



So the one with the circle, or the one with the star, is more appealing ?
*LAME*

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ever since i got dumped many years ago, i have been single since then.
Honestly, i dont like Valentine's Day. =)

While the usual khakis are either with the boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband. I stayed home.
(Ok, i did TRY to ask someone out, but FAIL. LoL)

Thats why my facebook status is: "V Day for me should be spent inside ktv room. Others outside hold hands, me screaming inside room. Yeah!"

Put in in a funnier way for myself, actually makes me feel abit better.

And if i am at ktv, the first song i sing, shall be this.



=)

And this!!



=P

By the way, someone on Twitter mentioned today is also #SingleAwarenessDay, short form - SAD. (Boo!)

But still, Happy Valentine's Day, my dear friends!

I bet there was tons of eating, and playing going on. =)

For myself, it was almost the same, the usual eat and eat, and guess what im eating now? Strepsils!!! (LOL)
Too much heaty food, abit of cough and sore throat.

********
Anyway, went to this Sentosa Flowers Event, with my friends, yesterday.
A nice experience, but not liking the super crowds of people, and squeezing.

Some interesting things we saw..

The Entrance


We walked about 700+ metres..

 

The lolipops tree..


2 rabbits with the Rasa World logo?


The giant Rabbit, that keep turning round and round...


With the M&Ms..


I was thinking of what he was thinking...


I was born at the Year of the Pig! (Others animals were there too!)


The "Rabbit ears" cactus!


The Four Seasons..

And finally, the summary of the flowers i saw..

'Rent' a partner for Chinese New Year?

Get to know about this article through Facebook, as one of my friend posted a status of :- 'rent' girlfriend of CNY? well, please text me...ha ha ha ha

For a while, i thought she was going to earn some Ang Bao money. LoL

However, after a  few messages being exchanged, she was actually referring to this article from Yahoo.sg.

The title being : Singaporeans ‘rent’ partners for Chinese New Year

It seems that, people are actually getting help from dating agencies, casual friends and even hiring social escorts to pose as romantic partners — for a day, or even a couple of hours!!
They did this to avoid the 'Yearly Question" (in which i am being asked annually too..) of where their partners are..

WAH!! 

And to hire an escorts, it can range from S$5,000 to S$20,000 !! O_O

WAH x 10 !

So expensive!!

So sorry i dont have that kind of money, and i shall put on my thinking cap to think of an excuse for this coming Chinese New Year. Hehe! =P

However if you want to make friend with Hong Wei... 
小姐, 這是我的名片...
Translation in English: "Hi Miss, This is my name card.."

Dinner at Heaven's Loft with Season of the Witch

It was a gathering of friends for the Jan and Feb babies of the gang.

We decided to check it out, Heaven's Loft at Orchard Central.

The surrounding was nicely decorated, and a great place for gathering of friends.

My friend booked the seat outdoors, or the bar area, in which we were greeted with the natural wind blowing from outside and the live singing.


I had Fish & Chips, and the Ben & Jerry ice-cream as dessert. =)
The food were nicely decorated, however limited(In terms of quantity).

And then, we ended dinner with a group photo!

(But, the more i look at this, the more i feel i'm like the only one without partner..??! HAHA! )

Some of us, went for "Season of the witch" movie by Nicholas Cage, later that night.


Some disgusting scenes, flying effects, wolves becoming "evil wolves".. blah blah..
Overall, it was for Nicolas Cage.. =P

We catch up, joked around, and had great fun!

A bit of stress relieved for me, but still Life must go on.

Old Vs New

As i grow old, i start to think back of the things when i was younger.

Like this song i used to listen to:



Although the very funny kind of dance, when you see this now.. but, after so many years, it is still a classic and i can still remember the lyrics! Haha!!

And also, how many of you remember the little "555 notebook" we used to write things on?
(By the way, are they still available in stationary stores?)
I was telling this to a friend who was few years younger than me, and she did not know what i was talking about! -___-"

Anyway this is called the 555 notebook.

And i guess the Ipad is now the trend..


It is actually a very pocket-sized kind of notebook, with lines and for you to record or write things you want.
It is so portable in our pocket.

I can still recall, using it to record who owns me things or $ when i was in Primary school. Haha!!

And so times flies, we grow up and we don't see such things anymore.

However, as the world moves faster, and people also tend to demand things to move as fast.. each of us also had to move fast, or to move faster so as to keep up.. but, are we also advancing in the right direction?

Do we still have the 好公民 or Moral education lessons in schools nowadays, whereby kids are being taught how to be a better or treat others better? Nowadays the results we obtained appeared (or are) more important than us being taught to be a better person.

Life back then was much simpler.. Agrees?

Back to civilian life

Hello all, Hong Wei is back!! =)
How i missed my iphone.. haha!!
How's everyone doing?

I was away for a week, and of course, work piled up in office.

And my upperstudy can throw work without any advice into my in-tray, expecting me to ''know everything". -____-"

Anyway, its about 2 weeks to Chinese New Year!

So full of excitement but also is the period whereby we spend $.
With no AWS this year, i tend to think twice, or rather thrice when buying things this time around. (have to save up for a rainy day, agree?)

We are left with 2 weeks for spring cleaning and buying the stuff we needed..
Have you done yours?

However 年年难过，年年过...

Be happy everyday!!! =D

Back to basic..

Hong Wei is on In Camp Training from 5th to 11th Jan 2010.

Back to basics. 


I be back, soon ! =)

Hello 2011, Bye Bye to 2010..

Happy New Year, everyone!
How was the count down going on?

Year 2010, went past us in the blink of an eye.
My 2010 was full of events..

- Grandma falling sick..
- Me graduating from my diploma..
- Had a change of job..
- Meeting new friends (losing some to their girlfriends/boyfriends) haha!!

There were good events, there were bad..

In 2011,
I hope the journey will be smooth sailing, full of fun and laughters!


Do live everyday happily, as whatever will be, will be. =)



Wishing all my friends, a Happy 2011, great health and happiness to all of you and your family!
=)
