CHIUMING.

2010-07-20T23:55:00.002+08:00

Today my mum scolded me for a few things, like the old times, as usual. I was always being picked on every single little details, things that I hate doing yet I have to do, things that is meaningless and repetitive, things that IF MY SISTER DIDN'T DO, SHE WOULDN'T BE SCOLDED AT ALL. I know this sounds like a little kid's complain like I don't know, a 5,6-years old kid? But it has been like this all along. Look, I hate getting scolded for stupid things like this, I HATE IT EVEN MORE IF I'M BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY.
Sometimes I reflect and it feels like nothing will ever change the fact that my parents will always side my sister, nothing will ever change the fact that I'm always that guy receving all the music from my parents. All I ever did for the past 20 years was just to be better, less mistakes, be outstanding in work, studies and life, achieve FAR better things that my sister didn't. That was the wish I had EVERY SINGLE TIME BEFORE I BLOW MY BIRTHDAY CANDLES. It didn't came true, 20 years, nothing. Right now, the things I've achieved, are way better than what my sister did when she was at my age. Logically, I should be having a 'better' life now, I've got results, I've got certs, I've done things that my sister did too. I was better if not on par in every single aspect of my sister at the age of 20. When she was 20, I was in secondary school, but even before that i primary school, I know I just couldn't lose out, I must win every single time, I must outdo her in every aspect.
When I look at other families siblings all seem so close and warm. I never looked at my family the same way. Yes it would be strange in a way to talk about my family in such a light but this is how I really felt, I never felt like I was in a family since the last time I truly had a smile within this family a few years ago. I know I have to treasure what I have now, my mum, my dad, my sis, but it is just so difficult to understand them and gel with them anymore. I can't even feel that happiness in this group of people anymore. Everyday I just lock myself in my room most of the time and use the com, using it as a platform to get away from this world I live in, occasionally I would go out, sit on the sofa and just watch my dogs sleep, my mum watching tv, my dad and sis won't be there most of the time, I would just stone there and after a little while, walk back into my room. I just don't feel anything here and I don't know why.
I don't know what the future holds for me, my aim was always to be the best in the family, I think it will always stay that way, until I've reached my target.
Tonight, I was scolded at doing the same mistake which I neglected, which my sister didn't bother either. It was like a big smack on my forehead '20 years, and nothing changed.'

Aik! So once again I felt like posting something here haha. Talking about my workplace, I think I'm just glad that I'm going to quit. Mainly becuase that the workplace is just too restrictive, like so many rules and responsibilities without any rise in pay. Everything that can go wrong, is being pushed to our roles and responsibilities, so from now onwards, whatever goes wrong, its just our fault. Nothing to do with the company at all. Yet my pay is still as low. -_- how unfair haha zz..

Secondly, thanks to yvonne I have someone to talk to regarding this but yea SHES a really nice girl, but like what you said, it's best we start to go on our own seperate ways and let nature take its course. I have to admit this has been on my mind like recently couldn't help it but at least I'm glad that I'm quitting soon so nothing is going to happen.

I think overall this workplace is super fun, less the animal-type customers. They say the working hours is long, but with all these companies I thought it was really acceptable, after awhile time will just fly and tada time for closing! (: It made me realise that lowly educated people are really clever, like they know stuff. They know how to make things work. It's very much different from the typical sterotype that we JC people always have about them. I thought coming from St. Gabriels will help me take away that sterotyping but I guess I was wrong. I think they are the ones that make a society click, they are the ones that the society must rely on the most. For this alone I think 4 months in this workplace with a low salary is worth it. Thank you for being there guys.

Okay now that I'm already on my 'ORD' mode, shit many things are coming up. Camps, HK trip lol which I honestly haven't planned for. Time to get all these things settled and start to get my studying brain back! (already having difficulty calculating my multiplication tables zzzz need to actually rely on my calculator..)

2010-03-26T20:04:00.002+08:00

Argh why am I still receiving my pioneer magazine! So angry man told them a thousand times and a thousand times they ignored my email and calls! Being super super irritated by them right now, I think this pioneer magazine publisher sucks at his work and follow ups and it shows the kind of working mentality of the SAF! I don't care if I get sued or what for saying army sucks or SAF sucks or what, cause it is really damn irritating that I need to send reminders a thousand times for them to ignore! COME COME SAF/ ARMY/ MINDEF PLEASE PLEASE STICK YOUR EYES OUT, LOOK AT THIS BLOGPOST AND TELL YOUR PUBLISHER TO STOP DEDUCTING MY MONEY FOR THIS USELESS MAGAZINE PLEASE!

ARGH one magzine can just spoil my day.

2010-03-21T18:03:00.002+08:00

Went to work today, and suddenly realised that it has been a week already! Time flies.. Well, makes me wonder why Singapore service is really so bad. I think its just the culture, like the way we are raised from young, the mentality that our parents deem as 'correct and positive'. I think it is exactly that causes this whole issue about bad service in Singapore.

I tried to provide something more just to make customers' lives easier, no need to travel here and there, from shop to shop, but I wasn't allowed to. I tried to tell customers some things that they probably would find useful even though they didn't ask for it, I wasn't allowed to do that either. Okay la if I really want to I still can help them but what's the point if I make their life better and in the end my life turns sour.

Hm but overall I think I still like it there, the people there are nice and friendly and yes haha half day today! (:

2010-03-20T00:40:00.001+08:00

I'm just being typically jealous. You know it.

2010-03-19T02:29:00.002+08:00

Being a customer service guy really makes you think twice about the way you should go by and do repairs and enquiries haha. Today my manager was handling a hot guy and a pretty girl who came in and wanted an exchange for a phone but didn't want to pay so they argued, until it was so loud I told my customer "hey it's too noisy here the little boy (who is actually i think 20 plus) and the little girl (20 plus) are talking too loud, maybe we go outside and i settle the phone for you?" and the customer just LOL, like right next to them so my customer's family and I all stared at them before we left the place! But yea don't understand why the need to raise the voice to get a point across.

AND YES JOYCE PLEASE HAHA DINNER AT YISHUN CAN. ENOUGH OF THE CIG SMOKE WHILE I ENJOY MY DAY OFF! (:

2010-03-11T19:22:00.001+08:00

I went running today! sebei chui! Lucky my pull ups isn't that bad LOL

2010-03-11T00:07:00.002+08:00

Today I went to a movie premiere 'kidnapped' with my parents. My dad was the director of photography of that particular movie, so he kinda got us some free tickets to watch the movie premiere at vivo city along with the actors and crew. Among the standard of all locally produced films, this is considered one of the best I've watched I must admit.

The tricky story plot of kidnap isn't easy as it usually turns out dull and boring. The most important part of a kidnap is facial expression and I thought most of them, especially chris lee, did well. The focal points of various scenes were correct and appropriate. The addition of what I call 'arty (not artillery lol) scenes' weren't over dosed. Generally the plot feels like there were alot of chilli spices, but they come in little doses across the entire film so as to not let the audience get an over dose of chilli powder thus pushing it too far.

There were bad points too, alot of people mentioned the last part being too rushed, too eager to finish off the movie. I didn't like the expression of some smaller characters, I didn't like the singapore flyer part at all as it was lame, like totally. I didn't understand the kidnapper at all, whether is he money minded, or is he sadistic, or is he just confused. The kids were somewhat a grey area, they lack the acting skills, but they still give out singaporean flavour. Then again, I was thinking if singaporean flavour is more important than acting skills, to me making a movie = actors must be chosen for acting skills and the ability for the actors to give off post movie effects, with that criteria, I wouldn't have chosen that kid. Maybe its the budget.

But all these was what went through my mind during the movie. What was overwhelming was what went through my mind after it. Before the movie the director (i.e. the main top guy) thanked my dad personally infront of the entire cinema. Reminds me of Oscar Awards lol. This left quite a weird taste after the movie especially with all the "hey! congrats its a good movie!" or "hey not bad good job!" with all the actors and bla. The feeling of living in someone else's shadow.

Everyone will come by and congrat my dad for being such a talented man and will then ask if my mum is his wife and whether I'm his son and people just conveniently assume the naturally inherited talent in me just because my dad is good. I remember telling myself the reason why I stick with photography is because I didn't want to be with my father, doing the same thing, and always being compared to in the working world, especially in singapore. Yet photography still gives me a that little bit of art like videography. I just can't imagine my life, continuously being compared to. Like how darren ferguson will never be as great as his dad alex, kasper schmeichel will never be as outstanding as peter schmeichel. Both of them chose to be coach and goal keepers, both aren't doing well and both are constantly being compared not to someone irrelevant, but someone as close as their dads.

Maybe both kasper and darren went through what I went through today, probably x1million in magnitude and importance. But I really don't want to fill that big shoes which my dad will be leaving behind. I really, really dislike living in someone's shadow.

2010-02-26T17:46:00.003+08:00

Yes, I couldn't just forget it. It isn't something like an event or a newspaper article. Its something I wished I didn't know, honestly. I feel like I should be happy for you, but I'm not. I just can't imagine the future being like this. Hm, oh well, you really shouldn't have told me. Still, I wish you all the best and good luck.

2009-12-24T23:25:00.002+08:00

Today is just another day. Feeling quite unappreciated, but hey, maybe it was because I didn't feel the christmas mood, maybe because I didn't have that feeling of waiting to open up gifts under the tree, maybe I didn't have house visiting with friends. Sigh, feel so tired after a hectic day of trying to rush the brownie and I didn't feel happy at all. zzz.

2009-12-06T13:13:00.002+08:00

Ah, finally. I finally took the first step to log into blogger and type a new post since um.. a few years back? haha. It was tough not typing and having a place to let my feelings out of me.

2 years of army wasn't that bad, just that it made me thought a lot more than i used to. It made me realise things that I think I should know yet I was afraid to face the reality. The thing about this 2 years is that it allows people like me to take my time to accept all these things and yet 'not wasting precious time' since everyone has to go through it anyway. Overall, there are a lot of things i hate about this world, yet I learned that the best way to deal with it is to embrace it every time it arises, not to hide from it. Of course not everything was bad, I made a few good buddies there and what's better than having more people whom you can talk to randomly! BUT, IT'S OVER.

Lately, I've been busy with some work, some business stuff. I hate to talk about it because every time it comes to this topic, its tiring. Its tiring to tell people because they are what I would like to term it as 'Singaporeans'. They can queue for almost half an hour or so for a free cup of milo, they can analyse almost every aspect of a problem and not do anything, they can even let a blind man just stand at a bus stop waiting for his bus to come 'forever'. I always tell myself, if there's one strength of this place, it is in its minority, not the majority. I remembered I didn't understand what my dad was trying to tell me since young. I could never understand why he said HK was a better environment to mature. Last time all I could recall was taxi uncles getting beaten up, now after getting myself into some 'work', I finally understood. It makes me feel like I've sort of regretted, I should have just said 'no' and stayed back, but not like I could have think of that last time.

Also, without the heavy burden of waking up early and going for live firings, I had time for myself to think about my life. I grew up in an environment which I always thought it was probably the best route a guy can ever take. For a badboy to come out from trouble and slowly turn to a student who can sit down for hours after lessons to study, is not something that anyone can experience. I understood the 'thing' between poly and jc, because I fell right in between. That's the good news. The bad news is that I became 'good' too quickly. Thinking back, I just thought that the definition of a 'good childhood' wasn't just about getting good grades and top the scoring charts, especially I started to disbelieve in the education system. I thought a 'good childhood' simply means a period of time for a kid to transform into someone READY for the future path that he will be taking. The only difference is that there will be more dog shit and nobody is gonna help clean it up. I admit I have not fulfill this criteria, yet. Yet my subsequent course of action are always being blocked by people who loves me, but deep down inside, I know. I know that it wasn't for me to turn bad, it was just for me to get ready.

Going through so much after a draggy 2 years is tough. So i thought leaving them behind just for a week was a pretty good idea. To go to a place where limited people know me, where I can be who I am and who I want to be, without the thing about status nor pride. I knew at the very moment I stepped out of the international airport, I was free. That first breath of cold, yet warming air was magnificent, I knew I would enjoy myself even before I knew where the taxi stand was. What I experienced from that point onwards was, truly amazing. Everything fell into these 3 catergories: people, places, perspectives. Amazing.

Ciao.

that day was the day.

2008-12-16T01:37:00.002+08:00

yep, the title said it. that day was the day. it marked the end of cadet to an officer. its a nice feeling when you're standing there in the parade square show casing your drills and all ready to throw your peak cap. i can only admit it was a proud moment. but ironically it was exactly this that made me think twice before signing on to choose army for a career.
like i've said, its a proud moment. its even a privilige to be an officer here. so called cream of the crop. but i think i've seen enough to persuade me otherwise. i'm done giving myself yet another chance to open up this sign on option again, and give myself more headache to think the same reasons over and over again.

but it was good to see so many people all happy and smiling to be commissioned though. i'm glad for all of you. hope you have a good working year ahead. (: i'm out.

its so near.

2008-11-21T18:16:00.004+08:00

Its been a long time since I last blogged. the reason, I've said it so no point repeating. Now I'm here just to pen down some thoughts that I have, that I want to remember for the rest of my ns life, at least. Today marks the transition from pro term to joint term. today is special, I must admit.
To sum up the entire pro term, its been a really long ride since I last boarded the engineer 'train'. This train brought all 87 of us from service term cadets to joint term. I could still rmb the early days when I concluded that infantry was better, easier at least and that engineer was all boring, stores and the same routine. Now i disagree. I like its versatility, the ways things are done, the ways aims are achieved. I like the leap and bound, I like the constant forward-looking-ness in it. I can't say I love stores, but without them we are nothing unique. I like my friends there. Enghan, Kenneth, David, Davidson, Gimhock, Alex, Ben etc. They made my life there easy to live, open to talk anything we want, more importantly, we go through the same things together. Its been a while since I last had this 'brotherhood' feeling in me. All of these were the 'plus' in the engineer train.
The bad. I think it was hard to communicate with the 'people up there'. They were confusing in the way they talk, and often send mixed messages. Its definitely difficult to point it out to them, especially its already so difficult to communicate anything in the first place. Abuse was a small thing still, its the lack of transparency that I really do not like. Its like... it doesn't matter what you do behind the scenes, just have good showmanship, among them you're a hot favourite for top awards. I'm not implying the top guys aren't doing behind the scenes tasks. Its just how I see it in terms of the general, average-performing majority. The reason they said weren't true, they weren't true. So I chose not to believe them, but I truly think some top guys really deserved their placing and awards. Staff officer isn't the thing I'm really looking forward to, it isn't my strength. but live with it, yea.
Looking forward, in three weeks time, I'll be relishing my boyhood dream of standing there in the uniform, bearing my engineer vocation badge. The wait was long, I've waited for 7 years, finally I can stand there in three weeks time. I've seen my role model on that parade square 7 years ago, I've seen nicholas on that parade square 3 years ago. And 3 weeks later, it'll be my turn.

hello.

2008-08-25T12:57:00.001+08:00

brunei.

2008-07-09T04:04:00.002+08:00

BACK! finally. phew. it wasn't that tough actually, except the part about climbing up the steep steep vertical portion of mount biang. Okay la, I think if they post me there to lakiun camp for the rest of my nsf life i really wouldn't mind. It's a really nice country. Its just that the weather is too hot sometimes, but oh well.

There was once I took a bus back from our AO back to lakiun, and manage to see this family there, a mother holding a baby boy in her hands and a little girl beside her, both were standing at the balcony looking at us in the bus. The kids just gave the very blank look like as though its their first time seeing guys in green uniform. The moment i made eye contact with the kids I just felt so.. ahhh. nice place to live and enjoy life, something like back to the basics where a simple family consist of a father, mother and children and really nothing else. No politics, no real pursuit for more money, no neighbourhood gang fights... nothing.

But okay la think about it, i'll die in the afternoon heat if i live there. I just missed the really really simple days back in my neighbourhood. the nice drink stall auntie who always treats us packet drinks, the big sized pork butcher, the repair-anything uncle, the stationary shop auntie and of course the best memory of all, the piles of dog shit along the streets on my way back home from kindergarden. and when i get back home i have my favourite slide attached to my parents bed (so i'll just climb up their bed and slide down to the floor and start laughing at myself), the half broken wooden toilet door thanks to my dog, the squeezy toilet, small little tv set and the radio set picked up from the streets and ohoh the pink plastic chair that my dog and i always share to watch tv in the afternoons. i missed the old days. (:

see, brunei makes people think back about the past. its a nice place to visit, okay except the mount biang part. LOL super tough to climb up with all the bulky load and stuff.

tango wing.

2008-06-27T12:31:00.002+08:00

Its the end of service term, finally. I would say its quite nice to leave tango because of the man there. but its still.. abit sad. to see ppl walk away for infantry wings is just abit :T and to see all of us get seperated again... sigh. shit la emo. but oh well. it was a really good service term. i liked the defaulters too, actually. (:

all the best guys. see you in joint term.

practically the last week.

2008-06-21T07:07:00.002+08:00

END OF TANGO WING OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. NO MORE DEFAULTERS! HAHAHAHA! WOOOOOHOOOO! (: Its more meaningful especially finishing my second defaulters for not marching properly LOL. After a while I think its fun to just go for defaulters, I'M IMMUNE TO PUNISHMENTS. Seriously, I'm so glad I'm getting out of here because tango wing just suck shit. Oh but I'm sad cause that means the current platoon ppl will have to split and all to various vocations like LOGISTICS, SIGNALS and ARMOUR. And of all vocations I must be super unlucky to get posted to combat engineer. sigh. It's just my luck la. Hope it'll get away soon. Even the croatia team I supported lost to turkey dramatically. I have a very dark and suay aura around me, so suay that it even spreads all the way to europe to affect croatia. I think I need a good feng shui master.

GOOD DAY.

3 more weeks.

2008-06-06T19:31:00.002+08:00

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. ONLY THREE MORE WEEKS! okay at least that's what I think. Okay its either 3 or 4 weeks I'm not really sure and lazy to count la LOL. But whatever it is, its just so encouraging that all the major events left are just 1x ex skylark/ex nightbird, 1x plt live firing, 1x 24km march and FINALLY, ONE TIMES SENIOR BAR PRESENTATION. (: FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY.

When service term is over, I hope I can go armour, control a tank or something or at least get me out of field camps, digging and route marches LOL. Okay maybe armour still have all these la but its just about interest i guess? I would only consider extending ns if I get into armour. If i enter infantry, suck thumb. If i enter signals, still quite happy la. If i enter combat engineer, I'll just simply down pes, ooc and fo. (: Come to the point about down pes, its actually quite surprising the wing dunno I have a crack in some ankle bone in my left leg even when i reported to mo. oh well. that's my secret weapon to combat engineers.

AND ONLY A FEW MORE MONTHS TO COMMISSIONING! :D okay la its still way too early to say that. oh well. back to reality, shall go day by day. yes.... one day nearer! :P

Anyway, just finished platoon field camp. I was the cadet platoon commander so aka the ic for our defence mission. I think it was a job well done but sigh the instructors just think 'it's the worst f***ing defence I've seen in my 2 years here!' they just fail to see the whole picture. if they see it, i think they'll take back their words. and because of that i don't get into armour and end up in combat engineer I'll argue my way to armour man. but other than that, think i really need to thank my platoon for being to nice and cooperative! and understanding as well! yay 3 weeks...

2008-05-29T23:47:00.002+08:00

army sucks.
im gonna die.

meep-ed.

another week.

2008-05-29T23:44:00.000+08:00

OCS. Officer Cadet School. It's actually quite a nice name huh, like really grand sort you know. But things you experience inside its like totally different. Okay they say training is made tough so that they will train good officers for the future and benefit of the SAF. okay still sounds alright and sensible. but now everything seems like so torturous rather than tough. Its difficult to just say it like that, its more of the experience, the daily experience you get from everyday training. Somehow we all feel that if this goes on everyday, which is in fact what's happening now, life just feel so : and everyday is just another day, unlike the everyday-is-a-new-opportunity sort of day. defaulters just make things even worse la huh.

managed to got through the whole of a 2 weeks field camp. it was alright la except for some cock up here and there. and sad to say that was only the beginning. we're in for more things, more activities aka DIGGING lol and ya nothing seems very interesting other than the day when service term ends. okay and of course the 24km march just before our rank presentation. but oh well. survive the weeks before that first la.

but one thing i must sure admit, i really learned alot about human behaviour, learned alot about team working, learned alot about even more politics which to me its already a boring topic and of course learned alot about life. i like this phrase by my lieutenant - if you fail to convince, you confuse. its quite a leader sort of phrase huh like some holy quote you must know as an officer. oh well. back to reality. bye.

CHELSEA!

2008-04-27T08:39:00.000+08:00

I SHALL GIVE ALL MY LUCK TO CHELSEA TO WIN TONIGHT'S GAME AGAINST MAN U. CHELSEA, FOR ONCE, WIN IT.

BEST week.

2008-04-20T10:19:00.000+08:00

LOL as the title may have suggested, I had a demolition week! It was so so so cool man. All the blasts, shock and heat waves coming at us. Not to forget ball bearings from a claymore hitting us on our eye goggles even though we were like 30 metres away from the mine. Too bad I've no photos to post up! AWWWWW. Then basically we continued having more and more lessons on weapons so ya that's my week! (:

I would actually think that this week is by far the best though its by far the most tiring due to all the torturous edurance runs but something just have to spoil it man. Yep its the fear that everyone has in mind - the defaulters' parade. Its the parade that do alot of things that I'm not sure I'm allowed to type here because under performance or misbehaviour or any other not-up-to-standard things la. Ask me what I've done, I can swear with my right hand and whatever limbs that make you believe me that I really didn't do anything wrong or anything substandard. I just got a defaulters' parade by luck! Like just standing in the parade square and suddenly THEMAN just comes up, do something to me and tell me something and I've got a defaulters' parade! As cwsm and all the other people said, just suck thumb. So I did! Now I think I regretted it man, why should I go through all these shit when I didn't do anything wrong! Sigh, SUCK THUMB.

More on it I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say so ya that's all for my lousiest week by far.

BOOK OUT DAY

2008-04-13T14:10:00.000+08:00

You know, I FINALLY FINALLY understood how does it feels like to get out from jail LOL. We went through a long long long 3 weeks confinement! OH GOODNESS and now now finally out of the damn place for 1.5 days! so happy MUAHAHAHA. (: It feels even better knowing that ian is still stuck in bmt learning how to march and listening to boring lectures lol.

I was initially posted to echo wing! I was quite nervous la actually because the pace from the very first moment was super fast as I do not really know the place well and the timing was just not enough for us to settle down at first. It went on like that for about 2 days and yea things started to get better and got settled down eventually! I had a Indian buddy, quite a nice guy whom I always just remember him for his endless supply for cookies and oreos LOL. Since it was just a holding wing meaning to say all the people from all the army navy and air come together and go through the 2 weeks of common leadership module and after that then we will go separate ways into our army, mids and air wings. What I was hoping for when I was in echo was that I hope I do not go into delta or tango because they both gave me the impression it was damn tough, at least for my standard and to make things worse I have 2 sprained ankles and a injured knee LOL. I took all the time I had in the first 2 weeks to fully recover myself but of course it wasn't enough, so when i get posted to my new wing I just had to suck thumb la.

2 weeks passed! I really missed echo, I thought the people there were rather nice! Okay la the truth its just unwilling to change environment again. But oh well, there I was posted to tango. I think it's still quite manageable la, despite the tough times during all the physical training and stuff. I think the platoon itself is good! The mates were really supportive and friendly. Basically, after 2 days or so I feel at home, very comfortable with my new group of platoon mates. (: I like my buddy. I like my section mates. I like my platoon mates. :D Though sometimes the people always tell me from their experience that the instructor here are damn fierce but I think so far they are okay! Or rather they are just controlling just to let the new echo guys to settle down. At least that's how I think it is.

So anyway, more crap coming up la. I'm quite looking forward to the field camp, just dig my fire trench and that's it I'm not going to touch an ET blade or a shovel for the rest of my life man. (: If time permits I'll consider going for guards conversion course and basic airborne course! At least airborne was my teenage hood target but I failed to get in at that time so yep, shall try again! (: After that, what else. Go back uni study practice differentiation and back to mugging LOL. what a life man so busy! RAWR. Oh oh I might extend my ord just to complete my course or something!

LALALALA DARN FEW MORE HOURS TO BOOK IN.

enlisting soon!

2008-03-24T00:29:00.000+08:00

OKAY 21st had passed and posting results says I'm going ocs! I'm still a little stunned, because I've never expected my performance in bmt to be that good, or rather I think it must be sit test LOL. Hell's gonna start soon in around 20 hours so I'm not sure if it's a good thing afterall. I hoped for driver or clerk or something! Something slack and easy and injury free, yet mentally demanding and torturous, so NOBODY should say drivers and clerks are slackers! But since now I'm neither, I shall give permissions to you all to say yea they are slackers. :P

BRINGING IN ALL SAF ISSUED ITEMS OMG OMG. ITS DARN HEAVY MAN. PLUS THE DAMN DUFFEL BAG IS FREAKING BULKY. Sigh life sucks. Anyway, congrats to all who got into command school! YAY just hope you all would survive this torturous period and yea the endless field camps and stuff. yep all the best.

BYEBYE TO THOSE WHO ARE LEAVING THIS COUNTRY AS WELL.

one-of-the-times in the kitchen!

2008-03-21T11:28:00.000+08:00

Went back to school today to collect sgc! Darn so short la but aiya nvm it's just my luck to have a good gp tutor who probably thinks I spam and show off too much so decided to cancel everything away anyway. oh well that really sucks and I thought I would have a lousy day but oh no no! Went to buy more ingredients after that at ntuc and went for umm.. making food! I can't really say baking because it isn't really considering baking, neither is it really cooking as well, so making food it shall be! :P So yep melted the chocolate and MUAHAHAHA they taste darn good. poured over the stuff and mixed! It's quite fun to do that in a BIG BIG white bowl because it just gives you the feeling that there's actually quite alot in it! (in actual fact there isn't alot in a bowl.) Then we simply pour (or rather scooped) little amounts into each paper cup thing and there you go! Nice fooooooooooooooooood. Here's some nice pictures taken! Oh ya just a random side note, I think felicia chin with short hair looks weird. Okay la overall okay okay but still! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

The starting of a great delicious choco dessert!

OHOH and this was SUPER NICE. Banana filled with choco chips! OHMYOHMY! :D :D :D

LOL yep this is the end product! aye why are those 2 so empty! Must be for.... :P

YEA NICE MAN I'M TELLING YOU. NICE.

OHOH this is the super BIG cup version that only we made for ourselves! MUAHAHAHA as you can see there are lots of almonds in mine! Wheeeee! I think e quantity inside its like 5 times more than e normal one? FATTENING. :P

Overall, I had a pretty good day! Hope the dance went perfectly fine as well! (:

march 18

2008-03-19T11:13:00.000+08:00

No title today, nothing spectacular. Or rather not in the mood to blog about what happened today! I thought I just needed someone or now in this scenario something to let some of my thoughts out. So far, take it very straightforwardly, don't jump to conclusions. I feel damn messed up now. One thing at a time, it keeps piling up like how you pour water into a cup. (ah ha got this phrase from someone, my eng isn't that fantastic either) Those things don't really just centre around me, in fact they centre around other people and me, so I feel bad. I feel bad in the sense that because of these problems they might worry as well. I want to avoid them as much as possible, I want to leave it close my eyes and act like I didn't know anything, I want a break. But once again, I didn't, I can't and I won't. I decided it's just not the way to go by these problems and I don't think I ever will heck care them just like that. It's pretty annoying to be perfectly honest, then again, annoying in exchange for a better tomorrow. Why not? Sigh. Just sucks man. Feel so ARGH what on earth just happened! Like I've said I just needed to let it out a little. I didn't say I'll give up man.

It's hard to not give up and keep trying, but because to me you're that special, I tell myself hey why not, it's worth the effort.

pop lo!

2008-03-18T10:40:00.000+08:00

Yay finally had our passing out parade! (just in case non army people don't know what does POP stand for) So now just waiting for posting to see which unit are we enlisting next. Hope I'll get sispec but yea anything la if I were to become a rifleman so be it.

I realised I didn't blog for quite some time so here's just something to refresh this dying blog! BMT had been fun, if you were to ask me what stupid things I've done there, I'll tell you like really alot alot alot of things, but I shall not reveal them here, mainly because they are categorised under 'stupid' for a reason. Also, met alot of weird yet funny people there. Overall not that bad la, most losers support liverpool while there were some smart and intelligent people supporting arsenal, so the soccer debate never really died down at any point of time during bmt. Man u and chelsea were out of the debate totally by the way. (nobody likes them anyway) Then people complain about the food there in the cookhouse. After several rounds of talks and speeches, I think the food in the cookhouse taste great! Oh oh not to forget, some of the more common stuff in bmt like standard obstacle course (SOC) and individual speed training (IST) and AGR which I've no idea what it stands for but it just equates to RUN, and RUN. I think they had been rather beneficial to me. Take for example my 2.4 timing was actually worse in the 2nd nafa as compared to my 1st nafa and magically improved by around a minute in the last nafa. Such training really makes you wonder whether your nafa results is just pure luck or what. Of course up till now, the effect of ist is still unknown while soc did nothing to help but to make me think I suck at low rope. But really, fellow pre-enlistees, your platoon mates are the only ones that would make your bmt interesting. If you screw it up, you can probably tell yourself good luck.

That day after pop, I went back in for re-route march, 24km. It wasn't that torturous as I thought it would be, I thought the 24 km would really be a long one and I can't hold it for long but no it's actually similar to like 16km or something! Also, since we did our route march as a school in a platoon, we mixed around with dragon and other company people so it wasn't that bored really and oh oh that day there were people enlisting so the officer reminded us that and if we were to march faster back to the school, we could actually see the enlistees! And their sisters! So in the end we sort of did a fast march back to ladang campus and manage to see some sisters there and yea, did helped to motivate us abit. I swear I didn't look at the sisters much because they were quite far away. I was concentrating on booking out after that so yea that's my motivation! :P

Then here comes the relatively long break, about a week before getting enlisted to another unit and that's when hell starts so, you can classify bmt as just a warm up period. I hope I would be free from all injuries! I hate the feeling of injuring yourself man. The feeling of just sitting there not able and not allowed to do anything while watching the rest of the platoon having fun crawling around on the grass and firing blanks, or running around the track like a dog but in the end we know it's GOOD for us yea. Oh no 21st please don't ever come, EVER.

OHOH SOMEONE IS HAVING LUNCH IN ATHENS (A ROCKY PLACE) NOW! JEALOUS! LOL.

ns

2008-02-18T07:30:00.000+08:00

Nothing much to post up. Just reminding myself I only have like 4 weeks to POP? Definitely a BIG BIG yay. 4 weeks to company best recruit, forget it so many enthu people, moreover I'm not say those very enthu people as well. So what's there left to do in this 4 weeks? Just enjoy myself, together with bunk mates. Slack with them, pinch their nipples, eat chips everyday, go chiong pool every night, talk cock sing song play mahjong. Anyway there isn't much left to do already, I'm left with SIT test, SOC and IPPT. SIT test, whatever comes I'll just whack it well. SOC just pray I can climb low rope and not fall into barbed wire ever again. (It isn't something you would want to happen onto you, its painful for your information) IPPT, sigh. So that's BMTC left for me! OCS, SISPEC, rifle men, results I'll leave it to the commanders to decide, now what can I do is just to do my best and hope for the best and make more idiotic friends like those in my bunk LOL.

Life is good when I book out, sort of manage to spend time with people. Some with family some with my mother. (: Sigh only if book out time were longer I could afford to meet more people! Booking in soon, the feeling sucks shit. SOC on mon, tue, wed, the feeling sucks shit times two. 3x SOC, 1x chiuming's life, get the drift?

Overall I think I enjoyed BMT so far, I like the people there both commanders and platoon mates, mainly because WE LINK LOL. We had alot of common topics, most of it is about girls and scandals and stuff which I have to admit they are fun to listen to, though I know nuts about other schools' people. Also another common topic is body parts ahh that's interesting because it involves us directly and can always shock ourselves with stunning informations when we are bored. We aren't dirty minded, just curious! (:

Most important of all, I think army gives you that space for you to grow as an adult, mature in your thinking, mature in your behaviour. Like what that some officer or some guy said, everything will show in university. (:

life in ns

2008-02-09T10:14:00.000+08:00

I wouldn't say life totally sucks in there, rather I'm quite used to the daily routine already so I kinda like it though sometimes it's tough la. So far everything went quite smoothly, like I didn't die from crossing barbed wire or something so count myself lucky la. (there are lots of things that can take your life away) Shall not go into details LOL later I gg.

Bunk life was great and still is. The friends I made there were crazy, kinky and most impt of all, vulgar. (: I've not said so much vulgarities in one shot for such a long time already so it's like LETTING GO and RELAXING yourself. Ahhh. :P We constantly had radio and a speaker for some music to relax ourselves, some would just sit there and watch man vs wild on ipod, some just slack, one would hug the speaker and sing along with the music. As for me, I like to do all of those mentioned and above all that I msg alot though I'm not supposed to msg before the last parade.

To keep this entry about army life very vague, I shall not talk much into army life. Everytime I book out, it feels like climbing out of hell into heaven. It feels good to be back to singapore. Also, noticed how luxurious it is to live in Singapore. Flat roads, neatly cut grass, almost insect free etc. Maybe that's the point about ns LOL.

Okay that's all. For geo and js, GOOD LUCK AND HOPE IT RAINS. :D

pre enlistment.

2008-01-10T01:38:00.000+08:00

This would probably be the last post of the year and 2008 barely started! LOL okay I hope this wouldn't be the last post la. So one more day to enlistment! UM KIND OF NERVOUS AND EXCITED ABOUT IT TOO. Basically I can't wait to meet up with new (ad hopefully, nice) guys over there and it'll be like meeting another 0906 guys or my sec sch guys. Some people enlist today, so I wish them all the best, while some people will enlist in April, I wish them ALL THE BEST too. (: Going army! It's time to look unglam and behave in a unglam-ly way! MUAHAHAHAHA down by the river. (: See I'm freaking excited, can't wait to do pushups, can't wait to get tortured by the sgt. I tell you, the more hardcore it is the more I'll love it man, but of course I don't mind slacking around too la. :D BUT! Damn I hate the washing clothes part. Just a pail, 2 hands and a bottle of detergent. :T Oh well, something is telling me that something will happen on me in camp. I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT MAN. woohoo. THREE CHEERS FOR THE ENLISTING MAN! (or rather, men!) :D

first day in 2008.

2008-01-02T04:34:00.000+08:00

First, a gentle reminder, ITS 2008 ALREADY. So please when you write your dates on assignments, write 08 and not 07. (:

2007 had been great, I think, at least it ended off well. I didn't really want to think deep into what things I've done wrong or whatever sad things that happened in 2007. I think it would be terrible. 2007 was a piece of crap and a really good year at the same time, depends on how you look at it. Overall, I'm just hoping 2008 wouldn't be so bad as 2007, at the same time, more good things to happen in 2008. I have no idea how is this going to happen knowing the fact that I'm going army, but let's just hope... for whatever there is to hope for.

I think mascots are stupid too. It's just.. what the hell?

Ohoh right, once again happy 2008 everyone.

new nerdy specs.

2008-01-01T12:39:00.000+08:00

Happy 2008 and BYE 2007! May all people will have ALL their dreams come true and when that happens, the economy will just collapse because everyone would have won TOTO or 4D! So may 2008 be a good year for all of us especially those who think 2007 sucks like hell! (:

Anway sixty-eight for rubbish specs, I wonder if it's worth it or not. Haiya anyway I have to buy it so oh well. I look OKAY in it so lalalala. I think I look sort of nerdy in that specs too but I don't mind. (: IM A NERD IM A NERD IM A NERD IM A NERD IM A NERD IM A NERD. Shit I think I need a life. Bye.

lousy internet.

2007-12-31T10:32:00.000+08:00

First i would like to make an annoucement. THE INTERNET SUCKS FULLSTOP okay LOL that's all. (: I could hardly navigate anywhere. Sigh a boring day again. So I probably don't have anything to blog about anyway. 2 more days to 2008! 1 year older!.... damn.

mahjong at ck house!

2007-12-30T09:21:00.000+08:00

Feeling bored, so we decided to go visiting to ck house and JUST SO NICE there's a mahjong set there, so we sat down and played a few rounds la. I put my watch on the LEFT side of the table! And hoho! Guess what! We barely started with the dong fong (east wind), which means we barely started the game, and I made joosiong bankrupt already! If I remember correctly, I hu a 6 tai and joosiong gave me the winning tile so double the amount he has to pay. (: Subsequently, I tried to arrange a 13 yao but didn't manage to hu it in the end la. I dared to play big because I can afford to lose some tokens! So yea today mahjong was fun. It was only at the dong fong, the zhuang was only at the 2nd person (me) and I made joosiong bankrupt.

So now, waiting for steamboat and terr to book out and FEEL his botak head! :P (LOL sound so gay)

bbq at ky house!

2007-12-29T15:50:00.000+08:00

The day started with george's message asking if I would like to go for a swim, I turned it down because I was still on my bed and too lazy LOL so I told him I'll meet them later before we set off to ky house. Soon after they finished swimming we met at Kranji mrt, and they look rather red. So woohoo! First evil thought - whack their sunburn areas. (: In the end I didn't whack them, mainly because it wouldn't be nice LOL. Oh ya, talking about going to Kranji. Since there's a turf club there at Kranji, alighting at that mrt looks so weird for me! I just stood up and the whole bunch of uncles, aunties, men and ladies opposite me all gave me that funny stare LOL and I gave back the what's-wrong-with-me-going-Kranji look. I probably just need to hold some newspaper in my hands and that's it everyone knows I'm going into the turf club.

We reached ky house at around I forgot what time. Knowing that we had quite alot of spare time, we started playing texas poker. If you know how to play it, damn the forfeit is doing pushups. So all of us did average like 50 pushups or so? Next oh goodness is this lame and SUPER irritating game by ky. Something like everyone has equal number of cards and you can't look at your own cards. So everyone, taking turns, would need to show a card out and if you see the same card you'll need to call out that person's name fastest. So the person who did not say the other person name as fast would need to take all the cards. So the most number of cards will be the loser la and of course forfeit - pushups. So we started by calling each other names and I freaking lost alot of times la so alot of forfeit LOL. After 3 rounds, we used animal names (I chose alligator), then maths terms (and I chose central limit theorem). Damn every time I see the same card the other person will always shout my name first then I'll point a finger at him and go ahhh.. ahhhh.. ahhhh.. and when the other person said my name like ALLIGATOR!/ CENTRAL LIMIT! Then I'll jump and run around and go AHHHHHHHH!! AHHHHHHHHH!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! DAMN FREAKING LOST AGAIN! LOL. Yea but it was fun la losing so many times. I did pushups, dips, star jump, jumping jets aiya you name it I did it. LOL. After the 'game', arms were quite painful, and didn't really bother bbq-ing the food. I simply just ordered from xuenie like 'one cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese sausage THANKS!'

And I thought if you cover the corn with aluminium foil and put it next to the charcoal it wouldn't burn or go black! So umm ya being so so sure that it will not go wrong, we left the corn there for I-forgot-how-long. Damn it became all black so NEW EXPERIENCED GAINED! :P But overall the food tasted okay, because there's ready cooked satay and otah so the food looked safe LOL. After eating, PLAY MAHJONG, that's probably one of the reasons why I came anyway. I lost alot of times! OH DISCLAIMER: During my losing streak, my watch was placed at the right side of the mahjong table. After losing a few rounds, I put my watch to the left side of the table and woohoo! JOOSIONG fed me with all the winning tiles! So in the end I didn't seem to lose quite badly la. After that we felt abit hungry, so just nice some leftover satay and otah. Like what barry always told me the whole night while he was there, it's twelve dollars. So we started to feel even more hungry LOL. We managed to finish the otah, chicken wings and drinks though.

Oh ya. Blog is a place for me to complain. Ian, joosiong, me and probably george and ck came because we knew shien's dad would fetch us home! Initially there was a setback because shien said she was feeling sick so ian and me OHNOOOOOOOOOO! Fortunately, she came for the bbq and YAY back to plan A. (: But soon she wanted to leave in xuenie's car then OHNOOOOOOOOOO! And the guys all stood in a line and waved shien goodbye in xuenie's car.

Okay la, a good day spent with the class. (: Oh and jul's sis (I think) was there and spoke canto too! I felt so clever knowing what she and jul were talking about LOL. Oh ya, JALAN RASOK. :P LOL why does everyone not believe I'm camera shy! During the whole bbq thing cameras kept flashing and ya I'M JUST CAMERA SHY WHAT CAN I DO!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2007-12-27T06:33:00.000+08:00

LOL finally knew what christmas is all about. The birth of jesus and all. Come to think of it, all along I've just associated christmas as eating out for dinner! That's the way my family celebrate christmas anyway. I don't really bother knowing what significance behind those public holidays, its like deepavali = walk over fire, christmas = eat dinner out, hari raya = green angpaos etc. oops. ITS TIME TO LEARN THE SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND THESE HOLIDAYS! IF NOT THE GOVERNMENT WILL THINK I'M A GOOD FOR NOTHING GUY AND KEEL ME! LOL just random.

OH YA. Merry belated christmas! (: Hope all your christmas had been filled with fun joy laughter love and ummm celebrate the birth of jesus! :D happy birthday! It's your 2007th birthday I suppose? I don't know LOL. LALALA so anyway enjoy the rest of the holidays and the rest of 2007!

the year 2007

2007-12-26T02:28:00.000+08:00

Everything that happened yesterday was just beautiful (except the part of taking the NEL train passing by farrer park). Everything seemed to perfect once again, it feels like everything is back to normal and my life just back on track. Everything made me smile and laugh (except the same part about farrer park) and even if I teared, it was because I knew I had lost something I treasured, but gained another and went on even further in the process. Damn the fat guy beside me, just because I've tears in my eyes he just have to freaking look at me. Nonetheless, I probably conclude that 2007 was a really really good year. I'm not sure if 2006 was this good, partly because I didn't really had the knowledge to analyse things this way and the fact that 'I-NEED-TO-START-MUGGING' craze was still there. It was along the ride back home - passing by that overhead bridge and that bus stop - in the 854 that tells me all this.

sentosa and naked boys.

2007-12-23T15:40:00.000+08:00

Went to sentosa today again, this time not going underwater world. In fact I don't really want to go there as yet because there's really nothing much that's new and its only the jellyfish and umm dugong that attracts me so, yea went there and walk!

Lunch there wasn't that bad (trying hard to psycho myself), the chicken rice was priced at 6.50 I think? and it taste of it worth like 50 cents LOL. The chicken were dry, rice had no much taste and oh oh the way the chicken was put on the plate showed that the shop didn't put in much effort to make it appealing. So overall rating: -NA-. It was THAT bad. The fish and chips to be honest tasted better, relative to the chicken rice. However, the fish was too small, around the size of your palm. The fries were dry and ketchup disgusting and bloody. So overall rating: 1/10. OH the mayo sauce was urgh. Yea aka disgusting as well. OH YA OH YA it cost 9.80.

After much walking around the small island, as well as the beach, especially tanjong beach, went to wash our feets. There, um.. THERE'S PORN! LOL very disgusting little boys, totally naked. Eh umm. NVM. -toooooooot- (: DECIDED NOT TO TAKE A PHOTO OF IT SINCE ITS SO PORNOGRAPHIC LOL. (but the person next to them washing her feet was funny! LOL clumsy as well, pressed the shower button wanting to wash her feet, but ended up getting the whole body wet!)

Talking about kids, kids nowadays are TERRORIZING. I mean they don't mean it and I hope they really don't mean it, but they just tend to do the wrongest things in the wrong timings. Take for example, imagine one of the water shooting out vertically upwards from the ground, like those in bugis, the little boy actually stood directly above the water jet thing and when it shoots up, BINGO! Okay maybe they think its funny or pleasant I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA but its just terrorizing to see them do such things right? OH and not to mention they bathe naked outdoors. OUTDOORS. SIGH this is hell! Next time when people tell you to go to hell, just come right here into Singapore! SIGH.

random pictures.

ns 'horror' goes on.

2007-12-21T15:52:00.000+08:00

LOL just came back from a trip to little india then a dinner at east coast. The trip to little india was crap. Those people who are similar to my likings should understand why la. I should not go into details anyway! Dinner at east coast was okay, chilli crab, black pepper crab, prawns, chicken, vege, beef slices. It all tasted good for my liking but shit to the ulcer, so I didn't enjoy the meal as much as I would want to. After that went over to the skiing place to watch a couple of foreigners ski. LOL it looks easy, at least I can understand and know physically how to turn, brake and start skiing and stuff. I was actually tempted to give it a try! However, looking at the rental price per hour, err. No thanks. (:

Holy crap! Christmas is near! The season of giving, sharing or something right. LOL OH NO CHRISTMAS IS NEAR! QUICK SPEND ALL YOUR SAVINGS AWAY! :D

Notice the kind of enlightened mood I am in now? Why? NS. NATIONAL SERVICE. On one side, like I always say, its freaking fun! All the gaying and guyish behaviour and stuff.
BUT! SIGH. I was talking to my ogl and he said there's a chance for him to be my section commander! Okay first thought was yay slack. NEXT, CRAP. LOL you know how that feels, right? The urge to torture someone who always disturb you everyday in the morning in school, during study breaks and even during slacking time. There's just this idiot around disturbing you. Now given the chance to kick his ass, HEY WHY NOT? LOL. DARN. NATIONAL SERVICE.

2007-12-21T06:32:00.000+08:00

bored.

bbq and ns!

2007-12-20T15:48:00.000+08:00

Wah tired, just came back from bbq at east coast LOL. As usual, I'm the one doing the cooking and setting up the fire because ITS HELL LOTS OF FUN. You get to choose the nicer food for yourself, you get to setup the fire the way you like it, it really makes the whole bbq.. you LOL. Yep, so because I was so engrossed in playing with the fire, I got several burns here and there and OHOH I managed to melt a piece of metal! It was bright red and basically freaking cool. I tried to bend it into a triangle shape but the tongs were just too difficult to control, so it ended up like a piece of junk metal. At the end of it, played with the fire even more and holy crap it was such fun to burn garlic in the fire. IT CREATES SPARKS LOL, and burns on my hands as well. Yep so it ended all well and ahhh shower feels sooooo good. :D

A little convo over msn. He just booked out so yea just a little bit of experience. Enjoy, fellow male species. (:
CHIUMING says: How's the meals, bathing, sleeping and stuff?
(some army guy) says: The meals suck.
(some army guy) says: Baths can only be taken with cold water.
(some army guy) says: We sleep at 1030, wake at 5.
(some army guy) says: There're lots of trainings and boring lectures.
CHIUMING says: What you mean by the meals suck?
(some army guy) says: The food sucks.
(some army guy) says: Serious.
(some army guy) says: 10x worse than AJ canteen.

LOL definitely sounds like hell! :P Okay I don't really hate army life, rather I'm more of looking forward to it. The good old days of boys school, the very umm guyish behaviour sort. I missed it lots ever since I came AJ. Oh ya and the good old days of smacking butts and pinching :). LOL so ya. FUN. That's NS for me. Try to look at the positive side! New gay bunk mates, bathing together, sleeping together. These are 2 good years that I'm going to cherish. I mean when you go out to work in the future, can you just sleep with guys out there? (though you probably would prefer not to do that) Can you go through tough times physically and mentally as a team? This is NS man. NATIONAL SERVICE. Yay going to get enlisted soon! :D Excited for new bunk mates, excited to be guyish, not excited with the food. LOL imagine 10x worse than Aj canteen! It's practically like some yucky mashy dog food! Just that it reads: 'For NS men only.' instead of 'Add the correct proportions according to the size of your dog.' Time to find potato chips! :D

Yay. You know this is for you so read read! :D I'm glad for you actually you know! I mean it had been a worry but now it's like a BIGBIG PHEW! So all the best for your future! And thanks for everything! (:

Akon - Sorry, blame it on me. I think its a nice song! (:
As life goes on I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility
I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things I have done
And things that have not occurred yet
And the things they don’t want to take responsibility for

I’m sorry for the times I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I’m sorry for the times that I had to go
I’m sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I’m sorry for the times I would neglect
I’m sorry for the times I disrespect

I’m sorry for the wrong things that I’ve done
I’m sorry I’m not always there for my son
I’m sorry for the fact that I'm not aware
That you can’t sleep at night when I am not there
Because I am in the streets like everyday
Sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I'm so proud to call you my girl

[Bridge]
I understand that there are some problems
And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can apologize for being wrong
Then it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me

[Chorus]
You can put the blame on me [4x]
Said you can put the blame on me [3x]
You can put the blame on me

Sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn’t know what to do
Sorry that you had to go and sell those packs
Just trying to stay busy till you heard from Dad
And you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though Pops treated us like kings

He got a second wife and you didn’t agree
He got up and left you there all alone
I’m sorry that you had to do it on your own
I’m sorry that I went and added to your grief
I’m sorry that your son was once a thief
I’m sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I would’ve listened and not be so bad
I’m sorry your life turned out this way
I’m sorry that the FEDS came and took me away

[Bridge]

I’m sorry that it took so long to see
They were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I’m sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt
Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy should never let her out that young
I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage
In a 21 and older club they say
Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
Verizon backed out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame
Even though the blame’s on you [3x]
I’ll take that blame from you

And you can put that blame on me [2x]
You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me

(:

back from hk!

2007-12-19T11:30:00.000+08:00

equation: lazy + pressure to blog = lousy template and not intending to change it. LOL yea since I've got nothing much to do after the exams, I shall just spend some time to blog. I don't think it's that difficult afterall! :D

Just came back from honkong. It was sure memorable, at the very least different from other trips to and back from hongkong. My hk ic got confiscated, in the process of renewing my hk ic. So it's like you log into an account using say, username as abc, you can't log out with another username right. So same thing here, got into hk using hk ic, and with it being confiscated, that means I can't come out of hk! LOL what happened in the end was luck + skill(mine) + um.. enough sleep? LOL. So yep, I'M BACK INTO SINGAPORE. OH HOME SWEET HOME. (:

Darn. Missed prom because of the TIMING of the flight back to hk LOL. It would have been fun taking pictures with other people! But if I go, kenneth can't go. So i think it's a blessing that I didn't go afterall LOL, at least from the class perspective. Thus, no photos to upload since I only have hk christmas lights but I don't feel like uploading them up just yet! Bleah! :P

Yay. It's time to catch up with friends once again. Though some of them are BOTAK by NOW and maybe doing PUSHUPS in an ISLAND FAR FAR AWAY. hee. (:

Oh ya. I saw it too.

2007-09-09T11:20:00.000+08:00

Okay so this is it, 1 more day and prelims! It isn't the BEST weekend but looking back to the amount I've studied as compared to my past in sec sch, I'm quite pleased la overall. However, it isn't enough! Because alot of sleepy afternoons and stuff like that, wasted alot of time and aiya in short on the other hand, I think I'm screwed. Anyway I can only console myself and just keep telling myself that hey it's A levels that's important.

I saw beautiful skies throughout the weekend, saw colourful birds, saw an AMAZINGLY COOL spider though I don't really like them, saw happy faces (alot of happy faces), saw wonderful photos, done nice things that made people contented and smiling, not alot of instances when things are going against me this week, but still, ):. It's more of ): then /: or |:. Don't ask me why, I'm trying to find out as well. After urm.. yesterday? I was even more ): no idea why. I wasn't suppose to feel this way I think but somehow I did. Once again, same OLD problem. Like around 65 years old. Time to retire! Okay lame.

Ahhh. Not looking forward to anything now. Anything.
I just hope England will just lost their match and shut their mouth for goodness sake. They analyse their opponents, they talk about their young players, speculations and everything related to football and ultimately they still can't produce results.

2.50AM.

2007-09-05T01:16:00.000+08:00

I'm leading a thrilling life.
says me.

2007-09-04T01:23:00.000+08:00

First thing i saw when i came online, woah. Chelsea lost. That's surprising. And it wasn't those 0-1 or 1-2, where they lost because of stupid mistakes, the score was actually 0-2, well beaten. Of course, since I'm not a Chelsea fan, and knowing that Arsenal had won their match, I'm quite happy with this week's results. YAY ARSENAL IS GOING TO WIN THE EPL! LIVERPOOL IS GOING DOWN!

Sigh back to work. Back to life. Back to troubles, worries and everything bad. Okay bye. I understand joosiong's pilisophy, but I'm just unable to accept that fact. I mean on one side I hope he's saying the truth, on the other I hope it isn't true. Ahhhh confusing eh? Crap la screw this piece of junk.

2007-09-03T10:27:00.000+08:00

It was a lousy weekend, totally. However, the point was 'it was'. Saturday. Woke up as usual in the morning around 9am and had a real pain in my stomach. It was unbearable, okay maybe some were unbearable while the rest are okay. Nonetheless, I thought that it was just some usual stomachache and after going to the toilet I should be fine, if not, good. So I went to the toilet and let everything off. Afterwhich I was even deciding whether should I go down to BK to study. However the pain was getting uncontrollably worse and I decided to sleep, thinking that maybe it would get better after I wake up. Woke up at around 2, the pain was still there and even got a fever! So yea this time round I didn't take any chances, I gave in and went to visit the doc. Result: Food poisoning.

Sunday. Woke up at around 9 as well. Decided that I should eat something before I take my medicine. Knowing that I can't eat alot of things, I decided to play safe and just eat whatever I ate yesterday night. So i carried this bowl of noodles with a glass plate on top, covering the bowl. Brought it into the microwave oven, 2 mins TADA. It was still not heated. But because I didn't know so I still took it out and place in on the table and test whether is it cooked or not. So I first took the glass plate off and put it on the table first and then bowl on top of the plate. Test test, not warm enough. I wanted to carry the bowl back into the oven, but while doing so, the glass plate got stuck to the bottom of the bowl, probably due to some unknown physics theory. I didn't notice it was stuck there, until it dropped onto my feet and SMASH! yep right on my feet, both of them. So the glass plate broke into tiny bits, all over the floor and on my feet. Result: My feet started bleeding.

So after 2 main points, I can conclude that I had a lousy weekend. It is coincidence that I do not have a religion. If I do, I'll wonder what is he doing. But hey, no offence.

Something struck me today. You can admit such things but yet you are not doing it! Amazing.

2007-09-01T12:47:00.000+08:00

ahhhh. Woke up feeling quite okay, though I'm still a little unstable from the effects of a lousy gp exam yesterday. Nevermind. Today is teacher's day! The official one! LOL awww poor H2 econs students they have exams today! It feels particularly good to just wake up at 7, msg everyone you know who take H2 econs and just wish them good luck and go back to sleep. LOL. However, none of them replied. Maybe they were too engrossed in reading their notes last minute. Um you call it lin shi bao fuo jiao. Aiya heck e pinyin, I had not touched chinese for a very very long time, so I wouldn't be surprised if I take the chinese exam now and get a C grade.

Oh talking about teacher's day. Yea initially planned to go back and see how's stgabs and how my teachers are doing. Also, on the agenda list is to see how many ahbengs are there in stgabs, maybe there are more now due to various recent global issues such as terrorism and thus they want to be JUST LIKE THEM. I don't know. One thing is for sure, I told Ian that my sch is just like a puddle of water. They breed mosquitoes. Thus, I believe stgabs will die soon because local government always encourage us to clear away any puddles of water to prevent irritating mosquitoes from breeding. Yea I know I'm not helping myself. I'm just reporting the truth! ahhhh RELIABLE SOURCE.

So back to teacher's day. Today, the entire school of mosquitoes are paying a visit to the jurong bird park? For what you may ask. Well, answer is simple isn't it. To BREED. LOL OH JUST KIDDING. They are there for some bonding thing which I'm rather convinced that it would just be a flop. The little mosquitoes (students) will start falling sick today and the female mosquitoes (female teachers) will all be like 'ewww SO WARM! and it's like STINKY and SWEATY and SMELLY and DIRTY and JUST EWWW!' LOL so that's what defines women. Yep it is going to be one BIG flop I tell you.

So. Knowing that the entire school of mosquitoes are visiting the bird park, means that I can't go back to stgabs! Going back today means I can only see the SECURITY CHIEF SUNDRUM. Then he'll just go like 'AYE BOY WHERE YOU FROM?' and stupid replies would be like 'FROM MY MOTHER'S STOMACH!' or 'FROM YOUR INDIAN HOUSE!' something like that. Because talking to security guards (especially those in schools), you don't need much intelligence to talk to them, basically no intellectual conversation required.

Okay. hmmm. nvm let's carry on. HARD GAY. One thing I admire about him is that he's really daring, knowing what he wants to do and just go for it. I wonder how many people have such will power to do something. I mean if you really want it just go for it. You don't wait for something to happen. Like the ramen shop, if he's not going to do anything, nothing will happen. Just that simple. Oh dang, I have the complaining mood. LOL. Wah I hate those people who have damn high ego loh. They suck. Simple as that. They think others are inferior to them. They think that they can just sit back and relax, knowing that others will help him/her do it. Suck man.

All in all, morning once again spoilt by such people. I wonder why they even exist on this planet earth. They should be somewhere far away like Mars or something and be aliens! ARGH.

2007-08-31T11:05:00.000+08:00

Because some people are rational thinkers, or rather because they are rational beings, most of them succeed in life and thus able to achieve great things or whatever they had targeted since young. What made me or brought me up till this point, is ironically, being a typical rational being as well.

2007-08-29T20:10:00.000+08:00

It's been 7 years.
And not a single call.

2007-08-29T00:21:00.000+08:00

Yo! It's a cool tuesday morning without any tuesday blues because there's no school! (it kind of rhymes) Yup for some strange reason the school actually allowed us to stay at home for self study and that shows that the prelims aren't too far away I suppose. Not knowing exactly how many more days to prelims, toppped with the fact that I'd probably lost my prelim timetable, all I know is that I've GP paper this week, next week is holidays once again and the following week is prelims again, which I think I've papers everyday la so I shall just go school every morning.

Thinking back, I can conclude that time flies, I even forgot when did I last watch a movie, forgot when did I last go to Vivo, forgot when did I last finish my maths induction tutorial and basically forgetting everything and when did they happen.

Some farewell thing which i forgot when, marks the end of ps. Investiture marks the end of council. July marks the end of nyaa gold. Movy fest 2 marks the end of my last proposal. It's sad just to think of these things. However, it means that there's a new beginning again. It's what I like to term it as 'cycle of life', where things just end at a particular point of time and new things would come and OH SIAN once again you'll find youself in deep shit because it's difficult to adapt to the new enviroment.

There are things in my mind which are worrying and exciting. I'm particularly worried for my a levels. It's been 2 years and for the first time I feel screwed (ouch) and it's just so demoralising. GP is an ongoing torture, maths tortured me, econs err.. hell. It's really that bad. More often than not, many students would tell their friends that they are screwed as well (ouch) and not coping well in their studies at all. I really dispise such people. They can and are able to cope with their studies but because they just want to sound stupid or trying to plan a surprise 'attack' when the A levels draws near.

What will I do if I failed my GP? What step to take next? While others enter university with a smile, I frown with a screw in my ass because I failed GP. Such thoughts are so demoralising yet so real because it can actually happen and the probability of it happening isn't very small!

I always hate expectations. I really do. On the other hand, without expectations, what would push me on to study and save me from a screwdriver and a screw? Sigh.

2007-08-27T02:35:00.000+08:00

After yesterday soccer matches, I do think Arsenal really improved. The way they play, their spirit is really so much more positive as compared to last year. Just look at the number of good through passes to the strikers or rather, look at the number of players giving through passes compared to last year. Comparing to other clubs like liverpool, gerrard plays at the heart of the midfield, at chelsea, lampard and in man u, keane, whos now no longer a player already. Without the central person in the heart of the pitch, they probably can't function as well. Arsenal is slightly different. Febby isn't that great yet to be considered the heart of Arsenal, so probably responsibility is shared among all the midfield players. Just by watching yesterday match vs man city, it's absolutely amazing, the way they pass the ball, the way they KEEP the ball, the way they play soccer, woah.

ahhh another day gone, today is a Sunday, tomorrow there's school omg. So all in all, I predict it's going to be sian sunday once again. Oh and one day nearer to exams, though I'm not sure exactly how many more days left though.

2007-08-26T10:36:00.000+08:00

Now I finally understand why I'm not suited for a religion. I don't mean any sort of insult, but yea nevermind better not say it. I notice some people just give their fullest attention on a particular matter or issue without thinking about any other things or factors etc. That's what make different people different, unique people unique, strange people strange, cute people cute, you get the idea. To couples, that's what attracts. Like magnets, like poles will never come together naturally. That's what most people say or rather believe in.

Of course there's the other side. Some people believe that it's differences that would lead to troubles, arguments and fights, because they are the source for disagreements. To them, people who are alike would get along better, people who can appreciate things together even though it might just be a cup of coffee or watching the stars at night etc. would get along better.

No intentions really. Just pure crap. Sigh what a :/ Saturday. So sian to the extent that I can take time to blog twice today. Oh bye.

2007-08-26T02:15:00.000+08:00

ahhhhh. Had a lousy morning, mainly because of the stupid hard gay thing and no breakfast! Moreover, my house feels so empty. Both my parents and sis went to KL and I'm all alone with my dog. Anyway, since I'm so bored I might as well just use the time to blog so that i don't feel my time had been wasted.

Had a good day yesterday. Basically went to sch like any other day, forgetting to hang up my uniform to dry so I've to iron it till for it to dry faster. Yup, went for 1 hour civics and ponned all e way till school end. For what you may ask. To study. LOL ponning lessons just to study, sound so muggerish. Anyway, we studied till we got sian and went home! Didn't have a good night though. It was a boring night, totally :/ and lousy dinner because I've to cook it myself.

Same this morning, woke up feeling :/ and even more so when i thought of gp. It actually sucks to not know what you not know because if you know what you not know it's so much more relieving then not knowing what you not know. So all in all, knowing what you not know is better than not knowing what you not know. Confused eh? Wait till you come across stupid probability questions that will confuse you before you can even attempt to draw out your probability tree.

I'm in such a deficit position, in terms of finanical, studies and

2007-08-23T16:54:00.000+08:00

ahhh. There's a lot of things going through my mind right now. Well, I don't think I'll personally say them all out, so since I can't let things out through my mouth, my fingers shall do the job for me instead.

Exams are around the corner, in fact in a few days time. I don't want to have a mini countdown or calendar that reminds me that I've only a few days left mainly because I think that'll just create more unnecessary stress. Furthermore, as hui puts it, slack cells > brain cells = memory deficit. Yea it might sound funny and catchy but hey this is serious dude. This 'theory' applies to me. I'm a natural born talent in slacking and nobody can do a better job than me. Coupled together with the fact that my maths and english language aren't very good, oh boy I'm walking a path which may lead me to death in A levels.

Now that's not all. Expectations, both friends and family. Let's start with friends. They continuously praise you on how well you can manage subjects that you are good in. They tend to ask questions such as how did you become such a pro in these subjects. Basically that contributed to pressure to do well in exams because they looked up to you. Family. I believe every student would face this pressure so no much elaboration needed. It's almost the same type of pressure from parents and siblings like everyone else.

Now not only pressure from friends and family. There are other reasons as well. Well, might sound stupid to you, or maybe you would disagree with me. Whatever really. Different people hold different views about the same issue, though they do have similarities.

Nah you know it. You know I know and I know you know. You know what I meant, I know what you meant. You know I know what you meant, while I know you know what I meant, but hopefully they don't know. Even when things are at this stage, even when things are almost near crystal clear, I'm curious why things are still that difficult to handle.

2007-08-20T07:49:00.000+08:00

Greetings from chiuming from the chiuming channel! ah crap. Anyway, today it's a nice sunday with i think an exciting night yet to come!
This is due to the 3 main soccer matches that's going to be broadcasted on a cool sunday night, mainly arsenal vs blackburn, manCHEATER united vs manchester city and hoho chelsea vs liverpool. i don't think i'll be watching all three matches, because that'll make me incur a huge opportunity cost of not studying instead as i've quite a bit of hw to do recently. ahhhh it's only now that the teachers from all departments will spam you with ALL their resource practices and packages. goodness. i wonder if anyone would spam you with chocolates and junk food like the way our teachers did it. Yup, so i'll think i'll just watch liverpool and arsenal matches and maybe the mancheater united match. LOL.

Today is a good sunday! Once again spoiled by the many undone hw and revision. However, i think for once lao tian ye is with me. Take for example, i was trying to do my work after lunch, while my mum and sister were watching some drama serial on youtube and they started to become noisy due to the hilarious nature of the show itself. So irritated me, went out to tell them to lower their volume and at that very moment, BAHHHH lao tian ye shouted on behalf of me. So overall, i sounded fierce and they stopped watching immediately. Another example, some idiot called and commented that today was a warm day and only at that point of time do i finally realise that hey it's actually warm here too! So after like a minute or so, lao tian ye cried to bring down the temperature of Singapore. At the same time, he cried because i had to stay in my room and do revision. Whenever i'm slacking, he'll go BAHHH to scold me and wake me up if i'm sleeping. (So sorry for causing so much thunder today)

Anyway apart from all these usual things all revolving about how boring can a weekend be when you can't go out and play, let's talk about something else - life, which in fact it's even more vague than the topic on how boring can a weekend be when you can't go out and play. (But hey IT IS something else from that lousy topic)

i watched tv today (er opps found slacking agn!) and watched this hk programme on travelling to indonesia. So basically it's this celebrity just visiting that poor and under-developed place and sympatise everyone there. At the end of the show, he made this comment in cantonese (oh of course it's from a tvb channel) - 'Most of the time, you feel good when people praise you or when people try to console you when you screwed up in some shitty instances, and feel bad when people heavily critised you on doing something stupid or basically scold you for your mistakes and that's natural reaction. However, it is these scoldings and criticism that allow people to grow in their level of maturity and these criticism are priceless - they don't come very often, but when they come, treasure it, don't throw them away.'

This, is just one of them, i have another one describing on brotherhood or basically maintaining a good relationship with one another, which he finds it lacking in our society. i find it deeply inspiring for some reason and thus lao tian ye didn't BAHHH or anything to hurry me back to work. ahhhh GUARDIAN ANGEL. LOL.

To be honest, I didn't know what i was doing for the past few weeks, so it probably resulted in some confusion and things like that. However, now i do have a clear mind on what i want and what is the correct way to do it.

2007-08-19T09:07:00.000+08:00

ahhhh fireworks once agn! LOL they just look so pretty. In the past, i used to be very scared of fireworks. They never fail to give me the feeling that anytime the cannon will accidentally aim at you, fire off and MUAHAHAHA your life is gone for good. Yep so that's why i used to be pretty afraid of fireworks. Soon, i saw some photos taken by PRO photographers and fireworks looks nice! So that made me want to take some photos of fireworks myself. So from that day onwards, everytime there's fireworks, i'll need to prepare hell lot of things - from extra memory card to camera stand to even plan what route to take to where would be the best to take fireworks shots and how to get back etc. When the fireworks show started, i'll then start to panic, like omg omg i cant take any nice photos at all! So practically for the entire show i'm busy taking photos, unaware of my surroundings at all.

Not this time. i specially went to WATCH fireworks and feel the atmosphere there, where the lion just cant stop urinating. (okay maybe he'll stop when it's at midnight and nobody is taking photo with that lion anymore) The atmosphere there was great as i expected, but what surprised me was that for the past few years taking photos on fireworks i can actually ignore the entire surrounding i'm in - all the cheers and applause. But it was a nice experience la and to top it off, i went there with a person who brought nice food so yea chocolate rocks. (:

And talking about today! hoho. i was pretty excited about the fact that i'm meeting spencer for the first time. (obviously i mean there's another spencer la) According to ian, he's able to piss ppl off like that way i do it, so according to him we both share the same personality, to some extent. So knowing i can meet spencer, i decided i should not pon (unlike the OH-SO-UNFORTUNATE-I-AM-SICK one, the SIAN-MUMMY-SAYS-I-CANT-GO-OUT one and the SIAN-JS-MUGGING-AND-I-CANNOT-LOSE-OUT ones) so i just went ahead with my initial plan of being late and so i no need wait LOL. (joking ya) Cheng Ken brought me into this seluded area of woodlands and we played soccer there. Play, play, play and finally got injured. Now i can feel the pain in my first toe of my both right and left feet, left ankle, right shin and right elbow. (hey many injures are what that differentiates man and females/boys) Soon, a bunch of kids came to play soccer with us. i felt rather mean or rather WE felt rather mean because we ended up playing 'monkey' because they just cant get the ball away from us. Yea but they were a cute bunch of little kids consisting of a pri 2 indian and 2 random foreigner kids who don't speak english.

ah shall stop here. time to do work! Oh oh and someone surprised me with what he said i think ytd "aiya just come and play soccer la, you study that extra hour just because you want to win us. You not competing with our class only eh, competing with all the other schools!" So yea that's the sentence of they day and chiuming from the chiuming channel signing off. Have a nice weekend.

2007-08-17T12:23:00.000+08:00

one afternoon,
a parent had prohibited her son from going out,
due to her son's misbehaviour in school.
on that particular afternoon,
the boy was bored.
he decided to look out the window,
maybe he would see something that might catch his attention.

he saw a wild dog being dragged by 2 animal policemen,
they threw the dog into their van
and drove off.

the boy said to himself, "poor dog."

soon later, a bird flew past his window
and landed just outside his window.
the bird made eye contact with the boy
and the bird thought to itself,
"poor boy."

came across this simple story.
yet its meaning fits perfectly into our lives.
its interesting to see how different ppl
react differently to the same issue.
but they all share one similarity dont they
and the similarity is - _________.

(super vague, but its room for thought.)

2007-08-11T00:54:00.000+08:00

and turned out like crap la.
like some kind of noob lol.

it WAS supposed to be a morale booster,
but somehow it turned into some evil monster,

LOL. but im prepared for some good music!

yay today is 7/7/07!
lalala and its um wear green day!
though i wore orange today.
but its the thought that counts!
but anyway i oso dun see alot of ppl,
wearing green shirts or something.

ahh. today i had inter house floorball!
coz last time i do play floorball in st gabs.
so im quite familiar with e rules
and the gameplay as well.
but! the problem is.
today's floorball isnt floorball at all!
the rules were changed, the way its played changed.
so i cant use my usual tactics on them.
and rules were according to hockey game,
so aiya its as good as picking up another sport.
and one thing is their floorball stick is different!
not finding excuses but yea,
its just difficult to adapt to such changes.
so in e end we lost la.
but versus hockey players,
how to win lol.

then oso played squash today!
oh my its sucha sporty day!
yea i think i learned alot today.
really lol.

so now looking forward to squash next sat!
merry christmas! (:

hoho mr harry is here soon!
he would be arriving on friday!
and i'll cry! RIGHT.
LOL goodness i wonder what do i have to do on tat day.

ahh! this isnt the full group photo but i think looking spastic can be quite cool! (:

2007-07-06T11:22:00.000+08:00

lately i've encountered alot of problems.
umm in fact all from different nature
with different people lol.
but aiya so ma fan la think and think bout these things
but oso cannot dun think eh.
aiya. this is called being perplexed.

damn shitty la that BEING.
damn EVIL la that lousy BEING.
wad the hell man.
go and die la you lousy BEING.

for a moment i regretted wad i did.
lol crap la.

anyway anyway!
EVERYONE LETS LOVE GATSBY!
OMG LA I LOVE THEIR ADV SONG.

LOL OH DIE OH DIE.
(:

wah shit my test grades sucks.

2007-07-02T13:49:00.000+08:00

while playing some com games,
went to my song folder and decided to click on some music.
so yea clicked on this particular eng song,
which induces those photo collage kind of mood.
so i decided to have a look at my past photos.
so heres abit of my previous life!

THE SPARKLING INDIAN SECURITY CHIEF. (:

my class 3e2! brandon justin yongshun chiuming tengshun jermyn kelvin matt junli FELIC kennethmun kelvinn kelvinh alvin leonard hui jeremy joe shah peng keith yiwei KAHHONG glenn sean boon KENNETHCHEN nicholas hou roderick edward tsng jabez IVANCHEE joellim alkhaff abel (names in CAPS are idiots. thanks. LOL :X)

he played with fire extinguisher. i have to make this clear.

the super gay smile by sir nicholas during trip to bluemountains

group photo at blue mountains! okay a mini group actually.

another group photo! this time bigger group lol.

the astonishing view, ncc land and air, perfect.

as sticky as a sticky tape. (aka gay.)

lol came across this attractive mambo shop, so took a break and people jus took a candid shot of me! aiyo.

ahh now is my ncc bit of life, which i can say it probably contributed the most to my exciting life in stgabs. i mean st gabs life wud jus only be those regular hair checks, bag checks, morning reading time etc without ncc. so ncc had really been everything in stgabs la. (kkw rock on.)

lol everyone looks cute here la but up till today i still have the original copy! think it really served as a form of motivation to carry on despite times wen training r tough. like since join alr might as well chiong all e way.

finally e last parade! our 'passing out parade' we call it.

last song as delta.

lol this dreamy effect i dunno how come it appeared like that but i think its cool! lol omg la i miss ncc alr.

yea i jus love my unit.
rock on stgabsnccland.
take home our best unit trophy,
our sch flag will parachute down e sky.

2007-07-02T07:34:00.000+08:00

WAH SHIT.
MY FIRST PIMPLE FINALLY APPEARED.

2007-07-01T17:18:00.000+08:00

after going through 3 days of continuous outings,
i think my stamina is rather weak!
well at least not as good as girls!
girls just shop like theres no tml,
and the thing is they dun feel tired at all!
lol wicked sick man.

today went for ps farewell bbq!
um at ecp pit 72 AREA G OMG.
if anyone is familiar with ecp,
probably wud know that AREA G IS GODDAMN FAR.
and ulu as well. okay not very ulu la.
lol but tats not really the point anyway.
i think i'd enjoyed myself again!
not say really that fun and high and everything,
but it was still way better than a average bbq!

after the bbq i no longer think that
playing friskbee is a girly game. LOL.
it very well depends on whos playing la.
guys? it tends more towards like rugby.
so yea lol fun playing with it.

its jiexin's bday! so happy birthday!
though i dun relaly know you. (:
and oso more importantly!
(aye 09 ppl take note ah)
JULY 1ST IS TERRENCE AND JULIET'S BIRTHDAY!
OMG OMG OMG LOOK AT THAT, TERR AND JULIET.
PERFECT.
i cant wait for tue wen sch reopen man.
i just cant wait to suan him again.
hurray! (:

emoing emoing emoing.
what on earth is that!
i need a being, not a blog.
if i have the choice.
you see.

oh anyway, just some of the photos from sentosa!

funny looking worms in the waters! actually i think they look more like those lil fishes.. um ikan bilis or something but just that they have longer bodies. LOL nonetheless quite pretty.

this monster fish head said 'welcome to singapore!'

and now the crab says nihao too! (:

lets find nemo! i think this really looks like those umm. okay looks like nemo la but i think it just looked cool with a very orange front and a blue back. oh well i like it!

jellyfish! omg damn nice la.

the underwater world tunnel didnt change much! to my surprise! LOL since the last time i went to underwaterworld is like a decade back. its jus pretty surprising la.

dolphin lagoon! and here a dolphin swims out of the water and through the loops! i cant do that la how can he do it omg this shows humans are lousier than dolphins.

and here the dolphins stands up and move horizontally to e other end of the pool! okay as humans we all can stand so this shows that humans are better than dolphins. thank you.

2007-06-30T14:47:00.000+08:00

so the holidays ended with a blast!
LOL. i mean like i felt as thou something was missing.
something part which was part of me, was gone.
so from there i probably concluded,
that mugging was part of me alr.
i had so much fun studying for chem la.
i was really enjoying the true taste of studying.
omg tasty.
so now exams r over,
officially i dunno wad to do.
coz i dun wan to mug,
and i wan to mug oso. lol
but aiya after chem test,
the post-exams begins and so the fun begins too!
LOL.

yea so after chem test went home to change
and went underwater world!
lol so it started with alot of things la
i kinda forgot, but e thing was both of us dunno how to go
the underwater world lol
and dun even know we need to pay
to get onto the shuttle bus to enter sentosa.
for you info the last time i went to sentosa was..
ytd. AH HA! OK LAME.
anyway yup so we entered sentosa,
looking at both beach babes and guys
i think e bikini babes really turn off la.
i mean like jus not nice loh.
and jules oso say not big rite. lol.
for the guys still okay la
jus that most of them jus missing the 6 packs.
YES ANYWAY, walked to underwater world.
and smart me, didnt use e map,
and got ourselves to the correct place!
oh my im jus genius man. jus genius.
and stupid map they put fake things la
on the map underwater world is to the right of merlion
on the real thing its to merlion's left!
what the hell man lucky nv follow merlion.
merlion - the lost mermaid in sentosa.

YES YES ANYWAY OMG.
reached underwater world and sawyou know wad!?
alot alot of fishes! omg la.
so at the start they got this pool of water
that u can put ur hands inside to touch stingrays
or some funny fishes la but i scared la.
i need my golden right hand to go exams.
so wen moved on to see other fishes.
then came to this gallery thing,
where there were lots of special and nice fishes on display.
so thats to trick us at e start,
that our $19.50 is worth it la.
then we went further inside,
then theres the crabs! lol.
lots of them la. but jus plain disgusting.
coz crabs r like so.. eee untouchables lol.
okay la some of them are a bit cute.
but umm still.. no thanks. lol

following that, is the long awaited..
SEA ANGEL OMG
i tell you wad.
if i need to pay $19.50 jus to see sea angel alone,
i will pay to go see man. lol
its just THAT nice that sweet little thing.
omg i want to steal one and bring home.
glowing little things about 1cm in length
in a tank swimming, peacefully..
omg omg tell you wad. i love sea angels.

so after that, yea went down to see jellyfishes!
LOL first thing that came to my mind,
spongebob: "hey patrick! wanna go jellyfishing?"
LOL yea its nice too omg! and since
they r all kept inside this circular tank,
so they all swim in a clockwise manner
altogether lol so its like washing machine.

so spending some time there trying to take photos,
after that wen to the main tunnel lol.
and omg the fishes there r just DISGUSTING
silver bodies, grey slimy eyes..
jus plain disgusting.. eeeee. lol

so after that walked to dolphin lagoon!
lol coz we initially wanted to take red line
which goes directly there,
but alot of ppl la.
so SMART ME again, say,
"aye take blue line change to yellow line can reach oso"
so waited. and waited. and waited.
no blue line bus, only got 4 red line bus.
like damn shit la!
so yea we decided to walk.
and hopefully hop on e tram and reach there faster.
BUT THE STUPID TRAM ALWAYS GOING THE OPP DIRECTION!
so we walked e whole distance
and continue looking at babes and guys.
LOL but yea la fun fun.

one thing about sentosa is that it doesnt look like it.
like it doesnt look like a island paradise
with all the construction and stuff
looks more like pulau tekong to me la.
just tat got ah neh and ang mohs there only.

WELL ANYWAY YES WENT TO DOLPHIN LAGOON.
and yea woah it was packed!
you know with wad kind of people!
tourist! yes tourist!
and what kind of tourist?
indian tourist! LOL.
yea so no choice la jus watch loh.
and its funny how e guy speaks in eng
like in a very sarcastic tone!
but thou he didnt meant to i think.
but jus ome la i feel like killing him.

after that, um went to vivo!
and i read this book about creativity lol.
and its interesting how they use normal stuff,
like chopsticks, bra, condom, clips, tofu etc
and creating other innovative stuff
like using a bra to make handbag omg
like who on earth will carry a bra handbag out la.
and using tofu to make pen holder.
like ewww. wad the...
yea not only reading was interesting,
the eraser there was pretty interesting too!
like stood there, thinking..
should i buy? or should i not buy lol.
coz apparently its nice buy ex.
but yea reached home at 11 around there la.

next thing!
today! LOL omg 29 june is jus shit la.
LOST to a girl in pool.
darni hate it man.
i know its not my day,
all my shots went haywire,
but you see i dun find excuses la.
im a man okay.
excuses come find me
so i jus say loh.
(:

but dun worry!
I'LL BE BACK TO THRASH YOU MY FRIEND.

wah damn tiring sia such a long post lol.

i was so speechless at that moment.
it was like omg i cant believe what i just saw.
but yea, i dun really understand you.
you chose not to let me understand you anyway.
but i was just speechless.
until now i dunno what to say.

2007-06-22T14:37:00.000+08:00

lets wish ME and BRANDON LEE TECK ENG good luck! for we will be taking GCE 'A' LEVELS and GCE 'O' LEVELS respectively! and MOREOVER, im YOUNGER than TECK ENG! :D (aye sorry brandon if you see this. this is to stress you to study so that i don't need to bring tissue paper to let you cry on the day you collect results ya.)

2007-06-21T13:43:00.000+08:00

its nice to have a diary sometimes.

2007-06-19T17:13:00.000+08:00

something for you.
you build a big house using small bricks.
you burn down the whole forest using a single spark.
you get youself into trouble if you start to think
that everything is fine.
directness is a form of stupidity.
its aka wasted time and effort.
hope you understand that.
and yes, for your info.
): was an understatement.
thats y i wasnt really sad, ironically.

2007-06-16T14:53:00.000+08:00

sometimes you hear people say that
everyone cannot be trusted.
it made me realise that in actual fact,
everyone can be trusted.
it's just the time needed to build up that trust.
between arch rivals, trust could be build.
it would take years, decades, i dunno.
but one thing is for sure.

eating fruits everyday would probably
give you a healthy body,
gradually.

2007-06-15T14:15:00.000+08:00

ahh UNDERWATER WORLD! ):
ah i dunno but i wan it badly!
i wan to see fishes!
i mean um. not those luo han yu type la.

anyway, its been a pretty boring day
studying and studying and studying.
pretty much like NO LIFE. LOL.
but still. i like e mini chats,
e little things here and there,
THE SWING OMG THE SWING.
(seldom did i play e swing before)
i wanted to try the slide.
but i guess my butt was too big for it.
and guess my weight would
exert a gravitational force downwards
and the normal upward force
probably cant withstand my weight.
took a couple of pictures!
but shall only upload some.
coz not all had been photoshopped
and some UNGLAM UNGLAM photos!
oh shit should i post these photos on blogger?
oh yes oh yes! LOL.
yep so thats really all i had experienced.

fishball noodles!

chicken satay!

playground!

ice creammmmmm!

urm. nice ice creammmmmm! in my stomach!

WAH THESE 2 HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM MAN.
RAIN (AS IN THAT KOREAN GUY, NOT RAIN)
ZAI SA JIAO EH!
SA JIAO OMG TO SEE A ASIAN STAR SA JIAO-ING
GOODNESS.

SA JIAO POST NO.1 (LOOK AT HIS :O FACE!)

SA JIAO POST NO.2 (LOOK AT HIS BUNNY TEETH!)

"Korea, Sparkling."

what i think is that,
we shouldnt take this like a spider fight,
because it isnt a game of who eating up the other,
because it isnt a game of who wins and who loses.
its about winning it together,
if not, losing it all.
im not ready to lose this, and how about you?
i believe its just that simple, right?

2007-06-13T13:56:00.000+08:00

beetles.
they suck.
they bite.
they KISS you.
and you'll nv know.
until u wake up
and find out that
e beetle is jus on ur eye.
eeeeeee.
i hate beetles.
they bit me.
they kissed me.
they suck.
big time.
):

2007-06-12T11:33:00.000+08:00

bored doing maths.
really bored.
so decided to take a little break!
its always nice to have little breaks
in between ur working hours.
LOL sounds like im doing office work.
but yea its no much different from maths
both sucks.
except that one earns u money,
the other probably doesn't.

so came online to slack a while!
(note the 'a while'!)
so today i decided to take a look at my photos
but this time it'll be all e photos
of my sec life with my previous GD88 phone.
lol quality wise - sucks.
but memory wise - rocks.
btw have you ever wondered hows life in st gabs.
its really is interesting!
yea so spam more photos! :D

MY NEW NEW NEW A MATHS TEXTBOOK!

peace.

2007-06-10T14:53:00.000+08:00

Game: GROW Ornament.

Game: GROW nano version 1.

Game: GROW nano version 1.

Game: GROW version 1.

Game: GROW version 2.

this pretty much shows that im not studying yea?
LOL. but they are nice games.
very annoying and irritating indeed.

anyway, it's been a good day out.
just.. pure chatting and nth else.
no mugging materials on the table.
just a vomit-look-alike oreo ice blended,
a paper straw-container,
a sky blue book (OKAY cyan),
and a so-you-think-you-can-dance pose.
LOL. simple.
no sign of any pencil case,
no sign of any notes,
no sign of any tys,
NOTHING. WAHAHAHAHAHA!
ba la ba ba ba, i'm loving it.
NONONONO.
HA HA HA HA HA, HA HAHA HA.
people, next time in a choir group,
try warming up ur voices by 'HA HA HA'!
its pretty innovative,
and its rather commendable,
considering how stupid some ppl alr are,
their level of stupid-ness is SKY-HIGH!
and there you go,
things get stupider with such people around.

well, so much for the crapping.
blogging about 'men in white' nearly slipped off my mind!
well, its a good movie,
really depends on how you look at things.
good in the sense its a fresh type of movie,
those 'so-what's-really-the-story-plot' type.
you watch that sort of movie,
after that you go, "er. ok so wad exactly did i jus watch?'
such movies have NO storyplot i believe.
its there jus to entertain tom dick and harry.
its like watching those urm..
'world's funniest animals' or 'just for laughs'
yea the movie is just for laughs.
so it really depends on whether you like to have
a story plot, or just.. entertainment.

oh yes, and you need a funny sense of humour for that.
coz apparently if you watch that movie,
and interpret things in a straight manner,
you probably wun enjoy urself,
i'd been thinking ALL SORTS OF NONSENSE,
so yea i had a good time laughing,
alone. LOL
my dad was beside me jus stoning..
oh wait or was that sleeping. hm.
ah i dunno and dun care either LOL.

so overall rating: **** (4 out of possible 5)

now everyone go sleep!
or rather i need my sleep!
to complete grow version 3!
crazy got 12 things to permutate around la.
one word - siao.

2007-06-09T14:34:00.000+08:00

this game is crazy.

that's all.

LOL at least it drove me nuts..

2007-06-08T13:55:00.000+08:00

yep,
so after almost a year,
you didn't change much,
even after you'd realised your mistake,
in fact, it's one of your biggest mistakes.
i'm indeed disappointed.
very disappointed. ):

rah well,
today isnt a very interesting day,
i only ate alot of fatty food,
and i think tats all?
oh.
we'll go watch shrek one day!
(:

2007-06-07T11:01:00.000+08:00

ahhhh.
i picked up a slight fever today.
whole body felt very heated.
but at the same time,
i picked up my consumer camera,
and took a couple of interesting shots.
well interesting to me, at least.
didnt bother to copyright it,
don't think its good enough anyway.
so yea. some of my photos i took today!
:D

Description: the cost of a 21st century bomb.

Description: Red-hot sun. OHOHOH i LOVE the rays of the sun.

Description: Morning sky! :D

Description: OH, a pheonix.

2007-06-06T14:44:00.000+08:00

its always nice to know that people u know r happy.
and everyday they experienced is a good day.
sometimes it just make me smile unknowingly,
just because they had a good day.

but things werent just.. that.
and i acknowledge that, at least.
probably nth i can do about it anyway.

arh i feel like loving all my friends suddenly.
not gay but yea friends.

IT TOOK ME SOOOO LONG!
ANYWAY, FOR THAT SOMEONE,
WHO GAVE ME SO SO SO MANY HINTS,
THE ORDER IS:
POT BEFORE PIPE (UR FIRST WRONG HINT),
BALL BEFORE SPRING (UR SECOND WRONG HINT).
LOL.

well other than playing that time wasting game,
life had been 'fun'!
like the numerous lessons held in college.
like the constant mugging sessions.
actually it depends on how u look at it la.
mugging sessions and lessons had been 'fun',
but they had been fun too!
so yea, overall result: NEUTRAL.

there's a council bbq this sat omg i cant wait.
saturday's to-do list:
1) throw someone into sea.
2) eat many many chicken wings
3) oh oh play soccer. (but i doubt anyone will play)
4) yet to think of more...

oh, i forgot to announce the official,
grand opening of JUNE HOLIDAYS!
with ALLURING EVENTS up ahead!
such as maths and econs lectures,

others fought for their exco posts.
LOL but nonetheless it was fun.
seeing how ppl got so scared by cw.
now hes hiding in e woods sniping down targets!

had alot of wonderful memories during ps.
e training though sometimes were boring.
like just slacking in 423,
or listening to e teacher tok,
or looking at mr tan photos,
but there r always ppl around me,
toking, crapping, playing hp games etc.

e thing about ps is tat i really treated it like family
or rather relative to others.
wenever i stepped in 423,
it gives me tat 'ahh home.' feeling.
LOL its jus a nice feeling.

now that its all over,
): awww man! ):
time jus flies la omg.
and soon it wud be council's turn.
but for now.
ps is gone! ):

and to think of studying for a month.
gosh this is gonna be a worst month ever.

anyway ab camp is still going on, so yea good luck!

(oh. i was referring to the instructors.)

to start of this muggish month,
had a stayover at helen's place!
i have nt been staying over at ppl's place for sucha long time.
ohmy. it was fun la LOL.
after ps seminar they went ahead to her house,
while i went home and fell asleep...
then met them at vivo,
had urm.. asian kitchen for dinner? i forgot.
no bnj, but well everyone were begging to go 'home'
coz they were all exhausted from the seminar.
but me? well i slept in the afternoon rmb!

then we splitted up, one went 'home',
while e other went to borrow saw 2 in katib.
then went to macs, bought a shrek hairband!
LOL damn cute la.
and went to supermarket bought whatever and anything!
LOL. which mine tasted like h2o apple!
but weekeong said it was jus a spoilt drink.. LOL.

then woohoo head straight 'home'!
and missed the condo by 7 stops!
LOL. yea then since it was a last bus,
we walked back loh.
reminds me of ab camp land expedition though.
but it was fun lol. coz we got lost somehow.

so finally we reached 'home' at 1.15am i can still rmb.
and yep watched saw 2, played cards and slept.
next morning fatty macs breakfast,
and head straight HOME (e real one)
LOL. wonderful weekend.

yay. felt so lightened today.
even thou im nt really participating,
but e whole process was nice.

there, while jus sitting and standing,
i felt her presence.
somehow i've got this feeling,
that shes really happy there
and telling me not to worry so much.
um well in fact,
i was too mesmerized by tat blue and green glass panels.
they were.. urmmm. nice.
overall rating: ****

took a bus today.
and e bus driver missed one stop,
so there was this teenage girl,
sort of making loud, rude remarks bout e driver
and at e same time,
a mother with a lil kid were jus stunned,
to see that they had missed their stop.
so all in all,
theres this huge contrast.
like e girl was like complaining loudly,
while e mother was like
'okay nvm i'll jus drop off at e next bus stop.'
its indeed rare nowadays to find such ppl.
its like one CLASSIC example is my parents la.
they nag and nag and nag,
waste so much of my time wen i can do more productive work.
its like over alr la.
no use crying over spilled milk right!
chim chim. :D

2007-05-24T13:39:00.000+08:00

not in the perfect mood today.
but well it was jus one of those okay okay days.
studied so damn much for econs.
and knew i fail e test because of a simple exchange rate.
LOL so wad e hell la.

well econs test aside i think thats e chunk of e sad things today.
other than tat stupid econs test,
i kind of send stupid msgs, even mms to random ppl.
coz i unknowingly send them while i was holding my phone.
and OF ALL THINGS. OF ALL THINGS.
i actually sent a pic of um. them.
wth. it wasnt really e best of things to sent to random ppl la.
it was like urmm..
something i could look at whenever i feel abit down.
its basically something i treasure alot.
but well. stupid hp pouch la.
LOL.

okay so thats all for e bad things!
now e good things!
eh. had this photog seminar today!
i got a great feeling its gonna be a very successful one!
yea! :D
and and!
see tonight is THE MATCH.
LIVERPOOL VS AC MILAN.
(which obviously ac will win, coz theres no dc.)
then tml pon sch? hmmm. MAYBE? i dunno.
(well its difficult to predict whether will u be sick.)
then fri going for co concert!
(knowing that ac win will bring me good mood!)
then sat going for seminar!
(urm. have to go la. but its gonna be fun!)
then maybe staying over at fren's house!
(that i dunno! but it sounds fun!)
LOL so yea a good weeeeeeeeek ahead la.
:D

2007-05-22T21:04:00.000+08:00

the BROWN REVOLUTION has arrived.
muahahaha ha ha ha ha...

charmed,
excited,
captivated,
mesmerized,
fascniated,
and last but not the least, seduced
by the ravishing colour of BROWN.
muahahaha ha ha ha ha...

okay now lets stop the crap!
must be the side effects of studying too much for a levels.
rah. well.
had a really wonderful week.
(um yea i know its only mon and tue.)
its just feel so relaxing i dunno why actually.
probably the solo walk down to the shops?
i dunno. but the hats there look cool.
how i wish i can have one of them!

well other than that,
um dun feel like blogging alr LOL
sometimes its just sian to blog too much stuff
:T

jeslynn!
sorry la! im too strong alr!
cant blame me right!
):

2007-05-20T12:56:00.000+08:00

why am i always e one who looks e most stupid!
argh. i don't get it!
i mean look at it. everyone looks fine.
EVERYONE.
and its only me.
only me who covers his face and look stupid.
but of course got a teacher who closed her eyes la.
but that's not the point!
coz she dun look stupid!
argh. i think i know what i want exactly.
AIM: to look intelligent.

anyway, today is school's college day!
and um. sadly have to go school.
despite that i have no duties
and need not go attend e college day.
went there just to do up a notice board!
so that e minister arrive,
he can look at my face there.
:D

so e day started with a good fatty breakfast.
choco-cum-peanut-butter waffle.
aww man. can't believe it.
its so much more sinful than having big breakfast.
but i like it so its alright la.

then head straight to school!
and um. library is closed.
not that i want to mug,
but it means that i cant use e colour printer there!
so decided to go staff room and use their
"highly efficient" colour printer.
so um yea. ran out of ink...
so went down to general office.
and in general, most GO have e best computers,
e best printers, e best system in place.
i mean after all its for the P's and VPs' usage.
and turn out e printer suck like umm..
i don't know what kind of printer can i compare it with.
but just my point is that e printer sucks.
and i waited 30 minutes just to get 5 pages printed!
and at e very least e quality u expect it to be alright la.
but no.
i looked sick. everyone looked sick.
some looked like constipating.
while some look like they were infected with dengue fever.
so yea. everyone looked like shit.
so much of "staff well-being" huh.

i found out i like walking alone on e streets!
and e best is wen there is those shops tat sells funny stuffs
its just so fun to walk around and see new things.
okay mus be staying in school for too long alr.
i need life LOL.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

2007-05-18T22:03:00.000+08:00

today's topic is about stress!
LOL.
lately, theres alot alot of ppl getting stressed!
mainly over academic stuffs and some cca la.
its quite sad to see people get all so stressed.
especially its only like may.
wonder what will it be like at near october?
LOL people will run around like ants in sch.
shouting and screaming like as if a volcano jus erupted.
LOL funny scene! but yea its quite worrying la
to see so many people alr so stressed now.

i mean it isnt a bad thing too,
like u wan to study more to keep up the pace.
but it really isnt a good sign,
if u like wake up in e morning
and u alr start worrying about things,
irregardless the importance of those things.
its really not a good way to kick start ur day anyway!
think about it.
u wake up to start worrying about many things,
from stupid to even stupider things,
and makes u start frowning in the morning alr.
that stress is a negative sort of stress i suppose.
so no no dun get urself into such situation.
its both detrimental to ur health and mental state la
like maybe too stress, end up mental hospital?
i mean who knows man!
if e day really comes, u cant regret and say,
'oh lets start this game agn'
all u r left to do is to suffer the consequences of stress?
so yea dun be so stress la.

yay photos r now finished
now need to print them and cut them and PASTE
lol sounds sai kang
but i predict its gonna be fun!
like cut cut cut.. oops! cut into the face!
and cut cut cut.. oops! cut into the nose!
LOL wheeeeeeee! doesnt cutting pics sounds exciting!

had a good night chatting agn.
its really relieving to jus spend some time off,
throw ur work away and chat!
yea it was nice overall.
:D

2007-05-17T21:19:00.000+08:00

wen i first heard that aj vball got into finals,
i dun really know who they r up against.
until that morning some announcement thingy,
girls vs hci and guys vs ny.
i was thinking 'ny...'
and at that moment i was thinking of e match last year,
aj vball vs i dunno i forgot lol.
but jus tat before that match,
it was ny vs some unknown sch (think its vball too).
and was wondering history wud repeat
both aj victory and urm.. yea.

so on that day it was a good short day.
every lesson got cut short by 10 mins,
which is considered pretty rare,
considering how educationally focused aj is.
"Afterall, this is a education institute."
well was having a pretty hard time,
considering between ps or vball.
it wasnt really the cheering thats gay so i didnt wan to go.
cheering for aj vball is good,
jeering at others is better though. :D
but i sort of convinced myself im okay.
so i decided to just go ahead and join in the fun.

good thing was my classmates were there.
so if ANYTHING were to happen,
they can induce the happy mood back into me!
yay!
and so e day went on pretty bad,
losing all 5 different matches LOL
bball, vball and badminton guys if im nt wrong.
and to top it off.
atomic bomb!
i didnt know how to react.
just stood there and could hardly move a weee bit.
it was fortunately temporary stun.
so yea and the night comes,
thinking how sad that aj lost to hci and ny.
but its nice to have good friends afterall!
they can really induce that WHOOSAH feeling back
and u feel damn gay! :D
okay getting abit no link!
but heck!

anyway back to today!
today is thurs!
ohmygosh played vball for pe lol
like jus after losing 2 finals
and we still say how we will impress william chua
to choose us for vball next year
LOL in e end we got thrashed!
so.. abit far from first team la.
but it was fun,
it was sweaty,
it was all so good,
that i can shit like a cow tonight!

lol after sch we had elects camp aar
it was, i think, e shortest aar i had!
like just plain collating the points
and abit of discussion on whether objectives r met,
and abit of emo speeches.
but e feeling of completing another adhoc was satisfactory.

come to think of it,
wen 23rd first came in, all the proposal noobs
all the 917823541375692345 drafts we have to do.
compared to now,
3 drafts oh finalised le.
indeed we grew alot both individually and as a council
i mean u can really feel e growth, e improvements
it gives u tat 'woah' feeling la lol.
GOOD! :D

2007-05-15T20:37:00.000+08:00

photo of the day!
thanks to the whoever who took this photo!
look at that kenneth, weihern and keeyang in action!
3 handsome guys huh! :D

2 big days.
2 big days.
its been torturous going through these 2 days.
apart from the many hw that needs to be done,
have common test - econs.
studied for it during monday afternoon
and realised that it was ohmygosh postponed to next week.
thanks vball.

yea. at the same time,
i was wondering shld i visit him,
or not to visit him.
it'll be rather awkward.
but not say giving excuses,
i've been busy for the past 2 days,
studying for econs,
and today chionging hw for tml lessons.
especially maths.
couldnt afford to shit on my maths paper anymore,
which was wad i've been doing all these while.

back to the topic,
yea i really wonder the mentoring system actually worked
kind of evaluating this whole system
it isn't mentoring i suppose
rather, its more like 'stress-u-to-study' session
heck the emo problems im facing
heck the family problems
heck the friendship stuff
its all about council.
and studies, of course.
and not much respect had been put into this,
so yea wads e point really.

ass.

so i've turned my attention to um.. him.
and yea when the tests r gone next week,
i'll promise myself to visit him
and shit whatever i've been holding onto
right in his room boy
and will that be great joy
for unloading the shit i've been carrying
for such a long period of time.

its always nice to shit on ppl once in a while.

watched spongebob today agn!
LOL how lucky gosh
coz usually by e time i come back home
i'll be DEAD and yea i'll just sleep.
but not today!
for there is that yellow sponge to entertain me!
that spongebob LIVE in spore is quite stupid.
spongebob is only nice on tv
its e spastic-ness of tat sponge that make ppl laugh
and his completely dumb friend patrick
and not both of them jumping around on stage,
singing some stupid songs
or dancing.. wadever.
its just gonna be a -_-" session anyway.
and spongebob lives in water for nuts.
im pretty sure they are not going to bring in
this gigantic water tank
and see a yellow sponge swimming inside!
together with a starfish and a crab!
oh and not forgetting an astronaut squirrel!
lol just sounds damn lame.

okay vball and bball and badminton and hockey(?)
jiayou for ur competitions!
all of u have my mental support at least!
:D

2007-05-12T11:00:00.000+08:00

argh.
cant stand it really!

lately,
many things jus come and go quickly
however each of them had made a pretty significant impact on me
and the effects are all starting to show up slowly
and it isnt things like stress or wad
okay i mean we all face stress due to hw, cca and other things
but this is something completely different

i dont really know what is it called
its like a new found disease, theres no term for it

i need some advice really argh.
1 issue, 2 options.
to make a decision now,
or to drag it.
dragging it doesnt help
but at least i can put a stop in this thing for now
making a decision helps relieve things alot
but problem will come later and that im pretty sure.
arhhh! how?
its really for the FIRST TIME
im stuck in such a position.
i thought i knew myself good enough
and didnt expect to end up like now.

im starting to hate life.
really. ):

2007-05-11T12:53:00.000+08:00

sometimes its nice to be alone in your room,
lock up the door and shut off the noise outside,
sit back, relax while drinking a cup of iced cold water.
it really gives you the aura to calm down
and make you carry on with what you need to do.

ohman. chemistry test tml.
im nv ready for the test la sian.
):

2007-05-10T11:03:00.000+08:00

i finally understood whats wrong
its only been a few days
since i watched spiderman in action
and still rmb telling myself this
"spiderman is a noob la,
battle lies within damn corny la,
how rare can this happen to anyone?"
and there you go,
im suffering from that currently.

not that stupid black thing crawl onto me
and become venom 2 or something
the whole thing is pretty ironic.
to find out a root problem makes me happy,
yet its annoying to know tat theres a problem.
if anyone were to be observant enough
which i think probably nobody in this case
would find that all problems that i've faced in the past
have something in common
and if u do find out
u'll probably know wad is the root problem

it didnt came to me till this afternoon
i saw this old man at e bus stop
he let people board the bus before him
he gave his seat for some other adults
he even smiled at tat person
i was thinking,
am i able to achieve that wen im at his age?
i cant even do tat now la.
and yea it goes on into thinking e root problem.

it wasnt a sad thought
so therefore im not sad.
it was more of an issue i've to address
so people im fine.
really.
okay now tats all
bye.

2007-05-07T11:28:00.000+08:00

a nice relaxing trip to hk
yes though i might need to be back there for a purpose
but to me this trip was more than tat!
it served as a good weekend break
from my studies,
from my worries,
from me emo-ing in singapore.

i like the 'peace' in hk
no hw. no studies. nth.
its just purely living a life.
and tats all.
all i do is to eat sleep talk and everything nice

on the actual day of e ceremony
i was bored
totally.
so i decided to take this time to think!
and REFLECT.....
to think about things that just happened
to think about how should i react to them
to think about what do i want
and want should i do next.
it was a sad night.
a very sad night.
but at least i sorted things out.
which was good!
:D :D :D :D

to 'friend',
yea now decision had been made
u know what direction to take now
u can now plan things accordingly
good for you!
um. yea all in all,
its been a pleasure knowing you.
sincerely. :D

to the... i dunno how to call it..
rectangle?
wadever.
i'll stay with my own opinion of e matter
coz afterall,
different ppl hav different perspective of things
not tat i believe that my stand is correct
i believe in doing what is most beneficial
for all of us.
not tat i dun wan to accept ur opinion
because there isnt such a thing as 'a wrong answer'
whatever the outcome,
jus smile and everyday would be a good day.

there r lots of stuff to say
but no no not now LOL
coz i still need time to study for my spa.
wheee so i think thats all for today!
and yea i love the food in hk omg
IT'S GOD-LIKE TRUST ME.
i fell in love with curry chicken
seafood
chocolates
cakes
puddings
pineapple rice
mushroom soup...
aiya many more.
SPA! :D

2007-05-03T12:34:00.000+08:00

its a wednesday today!
actually for e first time,
im having wednesday blues
coz ytd tue had a really enjoyable day
thou it was pretty crazy going around singapore la
but i still like the open air!
wheee! overall. fun.
and probably that's all i care about now.

just this random thought.
like if one have to care about so many many many things
i think tat person would just collapse one fine day la
and in addition to tat
students are now going thru a tougher period
a more challenging syllabus compared to previous years
therefore students would alr go thru a more stressful life
as compared to previous years students
so lesson learnt?
just do wad u wan to do
heck the reputation involved!
heck the rumours said! (i mean they r RUMOURS after all)
heck anyone whos out there to make ur life miserable!
heck anyone who will affect your mood in any way!
heck! *WHACK*

today had a really fun wed afternoon!
(alright! back to normal thoughts!)
and had a reeallllyyy long ps meeting after tat
LOL it was fun la to shoot teachers
just gives u tat satisfaction
that students always crave for
it just make u feel good LOL
but yea i really think e whole meeting
was a good waste of time
(oh i forgot. note the sarcasm.)
and and!
at tat moment i felt abit of ironic
coz on one side im like 'come on finish it'
and on the other side 'SHOOT 'EM DOWN!'
LOL so yea but i jus did it for e sake of FUN

and had fun telling others tat im migrating!
hey to everyone out there!
its true tat im migrating to HK!
i mean u dun see me in sch tml anyway
so yup tats true folks!
(:

ahhhh..
overall its just a good day
despite the long and draggy tutorials
LOL :D :D :D :D :D :D

Fun Things to Do at a Drive-Thru

1. Drive through the drive-thru in reverse and let your passenger order.
2. Ask the price of almost everything on the menu and then order something that you didn't ask the price for.
3. Tell the employee that your window is broken. Order and then pay with your door open. When the food comes, roll down the window and snatch your order from their hands.
4. Go to McDonald's and demand a big breakfast at 11:30 at night. Put up a fight.
5. Pay for a large order in pennies and nickels.
6. Order in another language. Be careful what neighborhood you're in.
7. When asked if they can take your order, tell them you are just window-shopping and drive on.
8. Laugh sadistically when asked if you would like ketchup.
9. Ask the cashier how they fit into that little box.
10. If they make you wait, make them wait when they come back on.
11. Demand to speak to the manager. When they come on, complain that you did not like the way the employee said, "May I take your order?"
12. When asked if they can take your order say, "Why, can I take yours?"
13. If they ask you to wait, order anyway and keep doing it till they yell at you.
14. Pretend your car has broken down. Ask for assistance moving it. When they come out, drive away.
15. Tell them you have to use the bathroom.
16. Order a cup of water and two napkins. That's it.
17. Don't order when they come on. Just sit there. If a line forms behind you, get out of the car and cause a scene.
18. When they hand you your food, hand them a bag with all the trash from your car in it.
19. Just stare at them when you pay and get your food. Don't break your stare.
20. Honk your horn the whole way through the line.

Methods to relieve stress in class

1. Leave permanent markers by the dry-erase board.
2. Ask whether the first chapter will be on the test. If the tutor says no, rip the pages out of your textbook.
3. Start a "wave" in a large lecture hall.
4. Address the tutor as "your excellency".
5. When the lecturer turns on his laser pointer, scream "AAAGH! MY EYES!"
6. Relive your primary school days by leaving chalk stuffed in the chalkboard erasers.
7. Sit in the front, sniff suspiciously, and ask the tutor if he's been drinking.
8. Correct the tutor at least ten times on the pronunciation of your name, even it's Smith. Claim that the 'i' is silent.
9. Sit in the front row reading the tutor's graduate thesis and snickering.
10. Feign an unintelligible accent and repeatedly ask, "Vet ozzle haffen dee henvay?" Become agitated when the tutor can't understand you.
11. Wink at the tutor every few minutes. (Hey you might even get a date if he/she is cute!)
12. Every few minutes, take a sheet of notebook paper, write "Signup Sheet #5" at the top, and start passing it around the room.

as time pass.
we get to know one another better
we understand their behaviour
their limits and their characters.
some even took another step
to the bgr stage.

however, some of us still prefer to stay put
at the friends stage.
yes cost and benefits?
oh well whatever.

to think back how i've treated everyone,
from strangers to friends to 'FRIEND' to family,
i think i did a pretty lousy job overall.
strangers were still okay
coz the fact i dunno them at all.
i didnt really kept alot of close friends
but aj saved me yea? LOL
family was all along problematic
so its always an issue for me to think about la
'FRIEND' was urm.
well i kinda suck at it la
up till now im still blaming myself
for everything that happened
for the good things yay!
but for the bad things forgive me okay!
(tats if u r actually reading this.)

so coming to aj isnt tat bad afterall!
got to know lots more new fun ppl
theres a FUSION of st gabs and a normal sch
so theres fun and laughter
at the same time theres mugging
so theres a pretty good balance la.

wheeeee. thinking mood agn!
thats a really bad thing! LOL
wads more im listening to cheena songs
so yea 'emo-induction' i call it

its a bad day!
cant really conc playing squash
didnt even did ONE SINGLE perfect shot
which normally i could la
and moreover playing with a NON SCH TEAM PLAYER
so shld be easy peasy
but somehow i got defeated badly.
argh.

and pe! LOL today pe was.. indeed tiring!
lousy stamina i have!
but anyway its quite funny coz HE tok about blogging
blogging the things he said and wadever happened la
basically the point tat u cant publich false things
or things he said and u misinterpret it
wadever.
then in my mind i was like
oh pls who would wan to blog ur talk onto their blogs
waste memory space?
waste time?
lol HE is cute. VERY cute.

schools over! tml is a friday!
stll dun hav tat rah rah mood in me!
and tml is aj idol!
and somehow im not looking forward to it!
i dunno y! LOL

its okay. just wait. wait for your turn.
just hang in there a little longer.
have a little faith.

From the WordPerfect Help Desk.

This is a true story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired. HOWEVER, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause."

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee with a caller:

"Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"

"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

"What sort of trouble?"

"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

"Went away?"

"They disappeared."

"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

"How do I tell?"

"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"

"What's a sea-prompt?"

"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"

"There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type."

"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

"What's a monitor?"

"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"

"I don't know."

"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"

"Yes, I think so."

"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."

".......Yes, it is."

"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

"No."

"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."

".......Okay, here it is."

"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."

"I can't reach."

"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

"No."

"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"

"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."

"Dark?"

"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."

"Well, turn on the office light then."

"I can't."

"No? Why not?"

"Because there's a power outage."

"A power... A power outage? Ah, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"

"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

"Really? Is it that bad?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it is."

"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
