Houndstooth fanatic, lightning bolt addict, Thai devotee, paperphelic & aficionado little monster of the great Mama Monster.
My name is Jayden and I’m a multidisciplinary graphic artist based in Singapore that deals with a myriad of design work.
This is my spot where I write when I’m not designing.

This is only the 4th blog post since the start of the year, totally shooting myself in the foot.
Truth be told, I’m not really THAT busy. I’m just really addicted to Gagarin – my iPhone!
And here’s my current high-score for Bad Romance on Tap Tap 3:
Hi, my name is Jayden and I am an addict.
High time to exercise some self discipline, Jayden!
I’m feeling so uneasy that I have to write something to calm my nerves. Or distract myself from thinking about it.
Been sitting here for about an hour now, because my smart ass instructor planned the lesson with a two-hour gap before the test. Ate breakfast and drank coffee in attempt to smoothe the tensed mind. Which doesn’t help at all. The tingling chill in my body gets worse by the minute as the clock ticked away.
The next wave of chills were sent down my spine when I saw that tester who failed me in the previous test. Better not get him this time round. Not quite sure of my luck today. Let’s hope it’ll be a lenient guy plus smooth traffic and let my skills work the magic.
Fingers crossed.
Gobbled down a bottle of water and peed. Not sure if it is just me or the air conditioning got colder, but I’m shivering a little now.
Moved outside to get a breather and the much needed heat. Spotting the anxious faces walking into the centre. Funny how this day could mean so much to each of us, while it is just another mundane working day for the testers.
I wished I could do something to double my chances of passing though. Like wearing low cut or short skirts. But the testers look anything but gay. Hmm… I wonder if bribery works.
Alright, time is almost up. Moving back into ice chamber and await the final judgement.
Good luck dude. Bring home the good news.

Think I don’t need to state the obvious that I wrote that during the wait for my driving test. Well, you know what? I passed it on the 2nd time with a whooping 10 points! Vast difference from the 34 points in the earlier one!
FINALLY! I don’t have to face my annoying instructor anymore! I think I’m super ungrateful because I totally forgot about him after I’ve gotten my results. He had to go around the driving centre to find me!
But nonetheless, I owe it to him. His “guarantee” of his students passing within the first two tries indeed was true! Well, if you’re keen to get his contact, do let me know! (He teaches in Bukit Gombak) But you have been forewarned that he is irritating to the core when it comes to teaching!
And he calls me by my chinese name but always get it wrong! He says Jian(3rd tone) LIANG, when my name is Jian(4th tone) LONG, even when I corrected him so many times! Annoying or not?!
I wasn’t confident of passing, so naturally I didn’t prepare any photo for the application of license. Between having to go back to BBDC yet AGAIN, and looking like a drug addict, I chose the latter. Hell, no one will look at my license anyway!
So yeah, I can officially drive now. Time to take a trip to down to Queenstown area soon!
With that earlier emo-nemo post down, I can finally write here in a lighter mood. So here’s the obligatory recap of last year’s happenings:

Well, that’s about it and here’s a very cool mash-up of last year’s top 25 hits!

5 MORE MONTHS TO ORD! WAHAHA!!!
It’s the beginning of a pristine new year, and yet, what I am about to do now is to write an emo blog entry.
I would love to post up all the festive photos and write interesting/funny entries for your entertainment sake, but I can’t proceed without letting a little of my true emotions out.
I wanted to stop blogging, well, at least on this high profile blog. And that was the umpteenth time I am making (but not following through) the same old decision.
It ain’t no publicity stunt to gain readers, but it is really getting old. I’m getting sick of myself going back on my words over and over again. This time round, I was pretty serious about it, and even set up a new blog. I had even written a blog entry already.
I also went to the extend of informing people that I am stopping this blog and won’t be dealing with any more blogosphere-related stuff like blog-advertising;
- dropped out of an advertorial halfway,
- told a PR company not to send me the products that they wanted me to try out,
- rejected advertisement deals,
- and not forgetting telling my close friends that I’m not going to write here anymore.
But the same as every other time I made the decision, I began to wonder if it was a wise decision and started to regret it.
There are a lot of factors that cause me to have the dire need to cease blogging. Can’t really write everything down here, but well, what can I say is, I’m a very emotional and an extremely self-conscious person. The slightest emotional breakdown will trigger me to close this blog. More so in recent times as I had been enlisted into the army. My hatred for the National Service system is relentless, but that is another story for another day. Point is, at times I was so emotional that I started to conceive suicidal thoughts.
In the downward spiral, closing down the blog doesn’t seemed to be of such a big issue.
Nonetheless, when I eventually snapped out of it, I realised things would have had happened differently if I take them on with a different attitude. I shouldn’t just get into another of my “SIGH! I WANT TO QUIT BLOGGING” episode just because I am feeling down.
Hopefully with the coming of age, I’ll be able to get a better grasp of myself. Please ignore me if I EVER tell you I want to quit blogging again.
So yes, I’m a big fat liar. I said I am quitting but I’m not. My apologies if I’d caused any inconvenience to anyone.
P/s: If you are keen, here’s the link to the supposed new blog.
2009 has been a year which I turned 21.
…AND FEEL OLD AND COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
Kidding.
Too much happening, too little time. Blog another time! Happy 2010 and have a great year ahead!
