There are
Only a few things
Truly important and necessary
And the rest are mainly decorations.

You think you know how?

You think you know how to melt a girl's heart?
FACE IT.
Melting a girl's heart is definitely NOT to play the piano and sing her songs!
Stop acting like you're so sentimental since most of us aren't!

SIMPLY...

Just ask her out for SHOPPING.
She'll be SO TOUCHED to bits if you ask her this golden question.
EVERY girl LOVES SHOPPING more than anything, more than any emo songs you sing or classics you play!
Melt her with your shopping charm!

Michael Jackson, a Living Legend.

Michael Jackson, a Living Lunatic now.

I'm very INCONSISTENT.

2005-10-12T13:26:00.000+08:00

Yes, miraculous entry here!! I'm very inconsistent when it comes to blogging, in fact, ALMOST everything else. Kudos to those impressive and consistent bloggers who never gave up that kept this blogging 'industry/trend' going.

I've no originality, I even downloaded and used this skin from blogskins.com and I took away the credits so I can impress and amaze others that this skin was from me (any retards will know that whatever "NICE" skin you use, is definitely leeched from somewhere!).

By the way, I'm gonna imitate Cheryl's lines, "I'm doing this for David". And yes, David has a 'mission' for us in his blog that requires us to name 5 quirky habits.

5 Quirky Habits

I play with toy cars at home and smile.
I step on my dustbin thinking that it's a stool.
I love lying on my bed and pretend that I'm sleeping so my mum won't ask me to buy lunch home.
I like sitting down.
I like to watch drama mama - Shu Ying on webcam.

That's about it, these are really extraordinary and amazing habits, please respect them and don't mock at me. =)

Job fantasies

2005-09-16T22:36:00.000+08:00

Yes, holidays now, time to work and earn some bucks.

Obviously job hunting isn't fun at all, but thanks to afiqah's presence! HAHA. We did REALLY RETARDED things. For eg, waiting idiotically for a defective traffic light that will NEVER turn green. And getting so amazed over a frog till bangalas were laughing at us.

Anyway, applied for 3 jobs.

1) Sweet Indulgence Cafe @ Telok Ayer Street
2) Coffee Club @ Kinokuniya Ngee Ann City
3) TCC @ Where ever they put us

Sweet Indulgence looks really like a spot for expats in the CBD area, and its small and cosy, I kinda like it there. Small cafes are so much easier to work in! Well, Coffee Club @ Kino is another small and cosy cafe with a really small crowd as well, perfect for slackers like us! TCC was just a try, I like all TCC outlets anyway so I don't have much to complain about it.

Our LAST RESORT - Coffee Club @ Ngee Ann City
Obviously that's BACK to my previous workplace! Which I'm more than unwilling to go back but well, as mentioned, that's the LAST RESORT!! Anyone who worked there before will know the stress and misery all staff gotta go through!

Hope these job fantasies will turn reality REAL SOON! Wish me luck.

Back home

2005-09-15T00:28:00.000+08:00

I'm BACK.

FINALLY.

Anyway, all I can say is, BANGKOK was wonderful, I feel like going back there again!

BUT...

The flight back to Singapore was bloodcurling, some wild turbulence hit our plane like some uncontrollable highly-dangerous lunatic! The plane was literally dropping as though it felt like an air crash! I felt so NEAR to death. Everyone on the plane was yelling (esp. the Chinese Nationals, by the way, the plane was full of them)

I'm not exagerrating, I'm SERIOUS. I was so scared that I still held onto the seat even after the plane stabilised and having cold sweat. We were only SIX more minutes to home and this happened! And thanks to TODAY newspaper which rubbed it into my fear, for featuring 2 articles on fuel leaks of an SQ flight in Shanghai and an air crash in Medan. I was reading that newspaper on the plane, scared the wits outta me!

After touching down safely onto home grounds and upon reaching home, having a good night sleep, I HAD NIGHTMARES, my mum told me that's probably due to the aftereffects from the shock I had from the flight. SCARY!!!!

WHAT A BIRTHDAY GIFT SIA GAVE ME!

2005-09-05T03:27:00.000+08:00

Greetings from the owl!!!
I'm blogging now and wide awake like those creatures in Night Safari now. Cos' I just finished re-watchin Jason's White Chicks DVD and am still quite high after the laughing. WAHAHAHAHAHA.
This show seriously can make one laugh even after watchin for the 2nd time! It never bores!

Weekend was a bore, so White Chicks sorta perked my monotonous day up. Sadly, am having a FLU right now. And I think this one is gonna be a long and protracted flu that will last for at least days with incessant sneezing and mucous-service. I know I'm a sneezing flu monster. A flu blob. I don't hide handkerchiefs under my pillow for nothing!

Apart from my filthy flu shit, I smell a pleasant vacation week coming up!! woohoo....~

Itinerary for the week

Monday - Probably rot and sneeze at home for all I can.
Tuesday - Meet up with Afiqah and then drink with Jason & Aisyah.
Wednesday - SIN ---> BKK/Take off to BANGKOK.
Thursday - IN BANGKOK.
Friday - IN BANGKOK.
Saturday - IN BANGKOK.
Sunday - IN BANGKOK.
Monday - BKK ---> SIN/IN BANGKOK - BACK TO SINGAPORE.

Hmm, hope all goes well and smooth. Will blog more when I wake up!

2005-09-03T23:13:00.000+08:00

Changed my blogskin again. Now back to Blogger's skins, their skins are pretty nice and neat though.

And I'm so sorry for the LONG-AWAITED update cos' I was really busy and caught up with the hectic weeks from school, Mass Comm isn't an "eat-snake" course afterall, though we don't have exams but that DOES NOT MEAN we're as free as kite-flyers who gather in Marina Bay every day! So PLEASE quit calling us lucky "free-kite flyers".

By the way, NO MORE SPINE-CHILLIN SPEECH COMM, ANAL WRIT COMM AND BORING SOCPSYH anymore!!!! Finally got these burdens off my back for good! But the next semester will be quite of a cancer, I KNOW.

Gonna be practical and find jobs for the holidays to come, money is more important now. Wish me luck!

2005-08-22T01:35:00.000+08:00

I feel like blogging AGAIN. Never felt so enthusiastic about blogging before.

Anyway, I feel a sense of lost now. For no reason. Okay, perhaps there's a reason. I feel really tired, mentally that is. Not with schoolwork, cos' it tires me ALL THE TIME and it's like part of everyday's norm.

But I'm feeling tired because of acquaintance, in other words, FRIENDS.

I think it's only a matter of time to be drifted away from friends that used to be as close as glue. And it's also a matter of time to be left out in what ever happenings. I know I might seem extremely paranoid about everything but only I will know how this sour feeling feels like. It's intricate.

Well, I feel so TIRED to always take the initiative to meet with friends and talk to them. I mean, I really wanna meet and don't wish to blame anyone cos' I know EVERYONE's busy like a bee, including myself. But I just grown out of it and feel extremely drained out of it, whenever I get constant rejection and dejection. Whoever I may be referring to, it's obviously not about an individual, it's really a whole bunch in fact.

I don't know what else will come or whatever. I really envy those who have lots of friends celebrating birthdays with them. PLEASE, I'm not trying to hint anything or whatever, I'm just speakin from the bottom of my heart. Just that, come to think of it, I doubt ANYTHING significant or worth remembering will happen on my birthday. Well, simply go ask around who remembers my birthday, SCARCE amount!

Okay, will stop here, I'm TIRED! REALLY TIRED.

2005-08-22T01:18:00.000+08:00

Currently, I'm mugging for Speech Com test and this really sucks. I hate mugging and has never liked it. To my surprise, phonetics will be tested too! WHY?!?!?!

Weird symbols and BIZARRE-looking passages full of phonetics. Rush hour for Proposal essay with Meiyi tomorrow, and I seriously hope that I won't be late for Socpsyh tomorrow.

En passant, I received a WARNING from the school via email. For poor attendance for Socpsyh, well, was really dazed upon seeing that email. It's just a warning cos' if I skipped Socpsyh again, I'll be debarred from the module. WHATEVER!!! I won't skip anymore cos' I'm scared and wanna be a good boy.

I smell the Monday blues. ~~~

2005-08-21T02:29:00.000+08:00

Okay, I seriously heed to the advice,
"Mind what you blog."

Sorry if I offended people in any kinda ways, but I'm just being frank and truthful. Cos' I guess people tend to get insensitive when bloggin about their frustrations. Well, if you're feeling really frustrated, go tell the person straight that you really don't feel like photocopying notes for him. Gel, I think we just learnt that in Socpsyh lesson that day isn't it, Assertiveness right?

This entry is really no scandal or insult for anybody, but it's just my way of blogging, I seldom conceal names unless it is REALLY TOP SECRET for what ever TOP FBI agency. I seriously thought it was just a case of misunderstanding and miscommunication. No condemnation from me or anything. Though I grumble like an ass, but I do know my limits and not bear grudges. Be nice, make peace. All I ever wish for.

2005-08-19T23:28:00.000+08:00

Ola people. I realised tagboards are really a useless board of shit, it 'spies' your computer just like any other lame spywares out there. What's more, it simply just serves as a gizmo to prove your popularity. IN OTHER WORDS, for highly egoistic people who loves to be popularized by the number of goodies who tag their blogs, NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE AT ALL. Cos' even I used it before, BUT I'm not using it anymore. Please be really glad about it.

By the way, bus drivers these days are really egocentric pimps. They will really try their VERY BEST to avoid your bus stop! Damn infuriating. They simply treat you like as though you're a hungry ghost from hell in the seventh month and just can't wait to steer clear of you. WHAT THE HELL?! I'm no zombie lah! And there you go, abandoned by these egocentric drivers.

Anyway, enough of rantings. I still love this world though it really sucks big time. By the way, SEGAFF or King Gaffy if you preferred that! Your 'scary' lameass clip was really shocking and scary. I ADMIT THAT. But do you know that you just committed such a grave sin that nothing in this world can cleanse you off? That sin you committed was for scaring the shit outta me! Accept your eternity demnation as what goes around comes around! I'll scare the shit outta you SOMEDAY, do anticipate.

school of anal-ness

2005-08-19T00:35:00.000+08:00

I'm back to blogging, I hope so.. Anyway, I've learnt to become very anal about every little thing. I gotta give credits to the rigid school of anal-ness that I'm in right now. Lecturers, if you're reading this, go ahead, I know you people got your means to read our blogs someday somehow. But I'm still thankful and grateful for such anal-ness instilled in me, in a way that is. I became more disciplined but I still hate the rigid and inflexible system. It's ironic but true.

I've no idea how to put such a 'hatred' for the system into words but only those who been through it will understand. Cos' I know no matter how bad and terrible I described it as, people will still doubt my words and treat it like bullshit. There're lots of ignorant people like that, not that I'm trying to be pessimistic or something, but I just love doing things my way. Writing essays my way and not stick to the usual rigid format like a superglue.

But this is life isn't it, waking up to reality is a must. I know I CAN NEVER do things my way. I admit it. Rules and regulations are such a norm that we all have to heed by, like we got a choice?

2005-07-13T16:55:00.000+08:00

OKAY, i decided to revive this PREHISTORIC blog of mine.
Cos' i'm greatly influenced by everybody around me BLOGGING.
you know who you are!! wakakaka.

anyway, school's has been okay.
BUT, essays are coming in like mucous running from your nose.
yes, it's THAT BAD.
and plagiarism is such a BIG thing in every essay that we write now.
don't be surprised if someone came up to your door and knock knock, "you're getting a zero cos you plagiarised!"
yes, it's SO EASY to plagiarise!!
this is frustrating man.
i'm startin to develop an anti-writcom syndrome soon.

okay, i shall not blog so much about my life cos my life is really a bore!
will blog more when i'm in the mood cos SOMEONE is pressing me to LEAVE!
you know who you are again... wakkakaa.

2005-05-22T13:52:00.000+08:00

Greetings!!! Well, as I was sayin, I'll be attendin the orientation, and yes, it was fine. My classmates were great and let's see, the FMS seniors were really crazy and fun people. But didn't got an opportunity to interact with them. We played those stationed-games, as you've known, it's some usual orientation team-bonding kinda games. But the worst was the game at the Library, it's tormenting!!! Fahmy and I were being stacked by other classmates as we're the base of the formation, it's a dumb formation. And our class won all the games that we played! Woo...

And after the games, we were made to return to our respective tutorial classrooms where we'll meet our tutorial advisor, in other words, he's our form teacher. His name is Mr Sharpe, I think. He's really a funny guy with that round chubby face. And it's kinda obvious that he's really forgetful about things and don't think he's those strict and serious type of lecturers out there. Heard some introduction and filled up some forms then he started givin us homework!!! I guess every class in every course in FMS received that as well. We're supposed to write a paragraph regarding "what's a good paragraph". School has not even started, and here comes the homework!

After everything, we're dismissed and someone suggested to go eat dinner together. Obviously the whole class didn't make it for the dinner, so it was only me, Timothy, Richard, Jarryl, Fahmy, Menreet, Afiqah, Claire and Wynnie. Hey! I remembered their names!! Didn't know I could do that actually, wakkaka. We spent so long just to decide on where to eat, and eventually, we ended up in the Mac at King Albert's Park. Chatted a lot and heard lots of interesting recounts from some of them, it was good. And after that, the girls went to town for shopping, and the guys went home. Tim, I know you were really eager for a session of Pool, but we're all really tired and for myself, I'm really worn out. So sorry for that. I need to go home and SLEEP! I need to sleep when the time is ripe, so nothing can stop me from doin that.

Hmm, hope that qj will be happy with her newfound classmates, and that I'll also be happy with my classmates as well.

Alright, you think that was all? Well, that was just an entry about the orientation 2 days ago. Gonna blog about yesterday! Went to church with lots of people. With Cheryl, Joanna, Gladys, Jason Tan, and their NP friends. By the way, congrats to you Jason! Really glad that you accepted Christ and the strong faith for Him. Keep it going! After church, we went for dinner in town, it was a really rotten choice. NEVER go to town for dinner if you're starving like some hungry creatures cos' there won't be a seat and everywhere you go, it'll be a long queue! We went to queue up in lots of places and eventually ended up in Coffee Club which was my workplace! Surprisingly, there wasn't a long queue but there weren't any seats either. And we only managed to eat dinner at 9 plus! According to nutritionists, dinner should be eaten between 6 to 8 pm, not later than that. Well, perhaps I was too hungry and I lost my appetite to eat, I couldn't even finish my pasta. Not to forget, we had lots of fun too, played some lame yet fun games with them. Felt great with their NP friends. And yes, Yongbeng is really a cute guy who loves to ask questions non stop!!! But he's really funny, with his extremely blur nature. I really had a great time yesterday.

Okay, that's all for now, see ya.

2005-05-16T22:16:00.000+08:00

Hey, I know I didn't blog for some donkey time, my apologies. Well, there's finally an Orientation for FMS students!!! At last, waited so long for that. Hope I can make really great friends there, just like those that Jo made in her BA school. Orientation's this Friday.

Recollection of where I went for these past few days, went to Kbox with great buddies, like Weida, Jeremy, Qiaojuan, Gladys, Linghui, and Xueting. It was really good cos we sang till 12 plus in the midnight! Just yesterday, went out with my family and we went to really unusual places, my sis suggested to go to Dempsey Road, weird and quiet place. There's a really ambient and cosy restaurant/bar there, love it! But too bad, dad didn't wanna sat there for a wine or somethin, guess he didn't wanna spend such money there. But I'll go there myself someday! And there's a really nice and historical church there, love that place. We went to Zouk too. But we went in the day! Nah, we didn't went clubbing of course, I'm under-aged for sure, we went there cos there was a Flea Market held in there. Things are rather nice but most are second-handed. Lots of cool people there too.

And just tomorrow, I'll work for Coffee Club for just 1 more day tomorrow and that's it!!! Then I'll be officially gone from that place! Really can't wait! And I really don't have much time left till school starts, I still need to do some shopping and I wanna dye my hair! Ahh, somehow I desire for more time for all these..!!

2005-05-08T23:57:00.000+08:00

Aye, I'll be good and blog now. Yes, last week for me in Coffee Club!!! That's really salvation for me man, cos it was really like workin in a warzone. Just got my pay and not gonna splurge much from it, cos I know savings are important.

Oh, and I simply envy those who went for camps, they made new friends and are having lotsa outings now. While on the other hand, I'm just one lonely soul suffering my sentence in Coffee Club Prison. Not to forget, I learnt how to pay fines! Vatsala asked me to help her to pay a fine after my work cos' I'm knockin off at 3, and that building for fines-payment shuts at 4:30pm. And if she don't pay it by today, her fine will increased to about $2000!! Her fine was $200, and she's paying for Igusti who was the one who made an offence by leaving the cigarette butt on the floor after smoking. She's paying through Credit Card, and she gave me her PIN no.!

But the challenge is not just to rush down to that place, but the venue of that place! I don't even have the slightest idea of where the Environment Building is! So I went down to the information counter and enquired. It's at Newton, thank God it's only a difference of 1 MRT station from Orchard. And there was really heavy precipitation so it was a hard errand to run for. When I finally reached Newton, I gotta find the building and then find the counter to pay the fine. Alas, all was done within sufficient time! Although it's really tiring to rush all the way there together with the rotten weather and the rotten time, at least I know how to pay fines!

Today's Mother's Day!! A day that belongs to ALL MOTHERS! So my family and I went to ate a meal in Marina Square. That place had a COMPLETE makeover. Every shop changed. And there were plenty of resutaurants at the Center Stage (Those who've been there would know what's Center Stage). There were Chinese, Western, Japanese, Thai and Indonesian restaurants there. Wide variety huh. After much consideration, we went to the Thai restaurant cos my mum likes Thai food. I would love to go to the Jap one though cos I really adore Jap food but today's Mother's Day! So yeah. Not JMing's Day though. That Thai restaurant was called Waan Waan, weird name, but it's really well-furnished. Very comfortable feeling in there and spacious seats. There's a Zen touch to it and urban aura to it. And they don't play traditional Thai music, it's soft lounge music, like it there! The food was satisfactory to me, not too bad since they gave us a free gift for Mother's Day. It's just a mug with their Waan Waan logo on it but it's a pretty nice and simple mug.

Alright, eyes are shutting soon, gonna stop here now. Goodbye!

2005-05-03T11:50:00.000+08:00

Decided to blog once more, changed my layout again. Hope it turns out fine to everyone. I am really really really DARN sick of my job now, I can't wait for the day till it comes when I officially leave that place. That's 13th May, about 2 more weeks to go. I'm simply too sick and tired of that place and the job itself. Doubt I've the energy and adrenaline to keep up.

Well, I guess the working society is really practical and cold, when you're sick and you ain't those who contributed a mountain full amount of contributions to the company, they simply don't really give much attention to your welfare and your sickness. Well, in other words, they simply don't really care whether you're getting better or not. Even if they asked how well are you gettin, there's obviously a hidden meaning in it, they're just worried that if you answered a "not feeling too good" to them, you won't be able to work for them; that's what they're more concerned for. If you're out of the company, they don't need you anymore, you can die and rot in front of them, I doubt they care.

I meant no offence to anyone at all but I'm just voicing how I felt about the working society in general. Sometimes, it's really hard to feel belonged and feel the warmth in some places, be it working place or anywhere for long-term. I guess not every place is for everyone.

2005-04-29T23:43:00.000+08:00

Oh, just got my Notebook delivered to my house today, and am using it now to post this entry. So far, this Notebook is still good enough for me. But the speaker will never be comparable to desktop speakers, they're still the best in terms of sound quality. But my desktop is really horribly SLOW!!!! And LAGGY!!! Usin the Notebook now is like a fresh new start of the cyber life, haha. Feel so much more comfortable using it now.

But still not very used to the small and flat keypad, it looks so fragile, so afraid I'll type till it cracks or whatever. But the screen is like TOO GLARING for me, still findin a way to darken the contrast. Ahh, I really don't know what to post for now, come back for more alright?

2005-04-25T11:52:00.000+08:00

Hey, I'm bloggin again! I didn't blog for some donkey times right? By the way, that 'sadist' I used to mention is extremely nice to me now, well, hope she's sincere for being nice to me now and that this will continue, I really hate conflicts.

Okay, went out with cremet, seria and gradius a.k.a. kamisah. Headed to Bugis first, and bought a sling bag from Bugis Village, it was $35 initially, but we bargained it till $30, that place is really good! That sling bag is for my future days in NP, so it has gotta be big and hardy. But we went to The Edge @ Parco Bugis Junction, and thanks to gradius' sudden comment in one of the shops, "Wow, this bag is so nice!" And of course, I was so amazed by her comment and saw that bag, it's a green Nike bag, and I fell in love with it from the moment I saw it. It's sold at such fantastic price of $70 that made me felt like dying! I just bought a bag from Bugis Village, and this Nike bag is obviously alot more nicer, it's not that the bag I bought which is not nice, it's nice too, but the Nike one is even nicer! I'm crazy over that Nike bag not because of the brand alright, cos' the design is really nice, you can hardly see any NICE-looking casual Nike bag around. But $70 is really a heartpain for spending on just a sling bag. Well, I will buy that no matter what, but perhaps not now though. Plus that $119 Adidas sweater, again, it's really really nice, it's not because of the brand though. But if only I'm loaded, they will all be mine! I've to emphasize that again before people start thinking I'm a poser who is so brand-conscious. Oh well, someday, I'll just buy them with my own hard-earned/saved money!

Sick of describing those details of my day here, but I really need to do some shopping before poly starts! Alright, Suteethai, don't say I didn't blog, I blogged!

2005-04-19T01:20:00.000+08:00

I JUST WANNA LIVE~~, WRONG!

I JUST WANNA LEAVE~~!!!!

I just wanna LEAVE that sickening and stinky place. That is my workplace! My colleagues are all very nice people and some other managers as well. BUT there are just some sadist there who prefer to see me in bad shape or making my life difficult. Won't mention the details here, cos' it's a long story. All I desire for now is to LEAVE that place as early as possible. I rather rot at home than having my precious time spent in that unworthy place. I'm really unhappy workin there thanks to some sadist there.

Okay, that's all for now.

2005-04-13T23:30:00.000+08:00

Alright, I'm bloggin again. These days have been really hella busy, workin and gettin those paperwork done before the Matriculation Day. Went to Clement's house 2 days ago, to have a game of Mahjong with Cheryl and Gladys. I'm actually a Mahjong-gonecase here. I've NEVER laid my hands onto Mahjong before except watchin people play and find it dumb most of the times. But when I learnt to master this game of strategy from the gang, it's really interesting and it only gets better the more one plays it. But I'm still really a nutshell to this game.

After the game, we head to town at around evening, shared a cab down which meant a TOTAL waste of bucks, cos' it was peak hour, so there's an extra charge of $1, and because the ERP in Orchard was "In Operation", we're charged $2 for that! So in total, it will be extra charges of $3!!!! Never mind about that, we dined in my workplace which was obviously Coffee Club in Ngee Ann City. I've always wanted to try the Miso Soft Shell Crab Pasta and the Cookie Craze drink(very much similar to Cookies'&Cream"), my favourites!!! Then we went to Cine to catch a movie, namely "S-Diary", it's a Korean NC-16 movie, it's kinda nice and funny. After the movie, it was kinda late and I hop onto a cab again that brought me back to my residential site.

Do look out for the latest May issue of CLEO magazine, the one with the NMP, Eunice Olsen, as the covergirl. I don't read it obviously, but this issue is special cos it featured my sis. Common knowledge do tell us that obviously my sis was not the covergirl BUT she was part of the coverstory. She was one of the 4 girls whom got interviewed about Women in Politics. She'd finally managed to catch some publicity for herself now.

I've decided, I'm gonna quit 1 week before my school starts. That's all for now. Goodbye.

2005-04-09T11:41:00.000+08:00

Matriculation Date which simply meant Registration Date is on 15th May for me. Academic Term commences on 24th May. That's late huh. Compared to some friends in other polys who are startin school from next Wednesday onwards! Hope the orientation and stuff will be fun and hopefully to find some great pals there. Mass Comm people should be nice, I guess. Knew some of them from those interviews and stuff, and they seems nice, hope they were selected for the course too. Hate that feeling of going there on the first day and not knowin a single soul there.

And I think NP has the most troublesome and costly procedure for the Matriculation. When I compare the package with other polys, NP seems to be really a chore when it comes to official stuff like these. Compulsory purchase of a Notebook is already a pain. Tertiary education is definitely tedious when it comes to registration.

I really FEEL LIKE QUITTIN my job, I don't have anymore drive to work. Got so darn irritated and annoyed whenever I saw this on my phone, "Coffee Club NAC calling", it simply pull my mood down. Not that the people there are not nice or the work is stressful, it's just that I really don't feel like workin, it's hard to put in words. I just wanna have a life whereby I can just on my phone with no disturbances from pesterin me to work night shifts and stuff. I've my personal reasons to not work night shifts, and they just simply don't get it. This is a pain in my head too.

Forget it, I'm gonna quit soon, and strive for my studies instead.

2005-04-08T22:06:00.000+08:00

Time to blog, and yes, I FINALLY received the enrolment package from NP, it took a horribly long time to reach me, cos it's like all other polys are already done with the package except NP. And now, I've 3 enrolment packages on hand now. SP, NYP, and NP. But ultimately, NP is still my choice. Tonnes of forms to fill in, and lots of procedures to be done, it's simply a chore.

Oh, and before I forget, my greatest heartfelt condolences to the late Pope John Paul II. Heard that his funeral was the LARGEST-scaled funeral ever. Political leaders from all over the globe attended his funeral, he is indeed a man worth honouring. Though am not Catholic, but I'm also touched by what he has done for this world. And I do respect this man with a heart of gold.

Okay, will blog more next time, can't think of more to blog about, goodbye.

2005-04-05T23:18:00.000+08:00

Aye aye people. Bloggin time. AS USUAL again, work was tiring, it's never not tiring enough. Well, saw Julian Hee in Coffee Club today, indeed, he is really good-lookin, BUT he is with a guy~! JUST ONE guy only, not tryin to say he is a gay here, but he is very often rumoured being seen around with a guy, and that guy looked gay-ish to me though. So I shouldn't make any solid remarks on it, cos even if he's gay, so be it then, gays are so darn common now.

Okay, I felt I should just get a feel of a rich kid's lifestyle, just for today, and I booked a Mercedes Cab and took it down to my workplace in Ngee Ann City, it's darn ex cos of the booking fee which they charged an EXTRA $8 MORE!!! But it really feels good sittin in a cab like this, haha. Then, after work, I planned to go West Mall to buy a pair of Nike Slippers, I took another Mercedes Cab down, but this time, I didn't book it, I just managed to hailed one in the taxi stand in Ngee Ann City, lucky me! And this time round, they just charged normally, the meter starts at $2.40, same as any other cabs. Cos it's really easy to hail a Mercedes cab in town, they're everywhere, and it's cheaper than bookin one! Anyway, this is my first time doing such a thing anyway, once in a lifetime. HAHA.

And I helped Aisyah's manager from Coffee Bean to buy the Peach Garden Tea from our place, Coffee Club, hehe. Cos she said she loved that tea, and I send it down to her in Lot 1 just now. She was so darn overjoyed, OVER a tea~! HAHA.

Alright, called Yanti for a couple of times jus now, and she didn't pick up, wanna get her out for a meal with some other e3 peeps someday, but her voice message is darn funny! Haha, ok, someone is rushin me to post the entry now, here you go!

2005-04-01T13:10:00.000+08:00

The weather is getting cranky these days. I'm down with a flu and sore throat, and the Haze was very much 'credited' for that. I'm not the only sick person, 3 of my colleagues puked in my workplace, one after another. It was bad. And heard that gradius also puked, hope I won't be the next to puke my insides out. I'm just too sick to work today, got Wan Ling to replace me. Thanks Wan Ling!

And it's definitely not easy to organize an outing, especially a gathering. And it makes things worse by havin almost everyone tellin you they got no suggestions or don't know where to go, so what's the point of havin a gathering then. I've no inspirations either. In that case, I would rather work on Saturday.

I received the enrolment package from SP, for those who didn't know, I was posted to SP's Business through JAE, but now, I've been accepted by NP's Mass Comm through SAE. In a state of confusion on how to reject the SP offer. Should I just ignore the SP enrolment package and just wait for NP to have the package sent to me? Ahh, never mind, I'm already gettin a little bored of going to NP. Been going there for like 4 to 5 times.

NP expects everyone in the campus to purchase a portable Notebook, cos they have this NPnet, a wireless network, to allow students to surf in ANY part of the campus, including the restrooms. Which means we need it to study our modules, so I guess it's really a MUST for everyone. But there are still some exceptions made, if I didn't get it wrong, students from Horticulture, Nursing and Early Childhood do not need to purchase a Notebook. Other than that, EVERYONE needs a Notebook. No idea why.

Okay, they are sprayin this super stinky and hazy pesticide outside my house now, to kill pests again, as usual. So I'll stop here. Goodbye.

2005-03-29T02:19:00.000+08:00

Hi, I'm blogging at this 'weird' hour again.

But guess what,
I'M OFFICIALLY ADMITTED INTO NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC'S MASS COMMUNICATION COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, pardon me for my sudden bold and CAPS of words, but am really in my highest spirits now. Cos in order to check for my admission status, I've to wait till 29th March. I just waited for the clock to tick, and ticked at 12 am, that marks the day as 29th March, and I called the Auto-Voice Response System hotline, to check my admission status, well, as most of you would've known, I really pinned very very little or should I say, NO HOPE at all for the course, cos I really screwed up the interview, in my opinion.

I was sort of expecting the woman on the phone to say "I'm sorry, your admission for Mass Communication course has failed." But to my UTMOST SURPRISE, she said "CONGRATULATIONS, you've successfully admitted into the Mass Communication course....blah...blah...blah." I was REALLY REALLY REALLY SHOCKED and FILLED WITH GLEE. I was so darn happy.

I can't even sleep now, although I've work later and need to wake up at 7 am. But I'm simply just so glad, Thank God, thank you for everything and your blessings. Through your Grace, I made it, and came this far, my efforts were not wasted.

I'm too overjoyed to blog now, shall include more details later. See Ya.

2005-03-28T17:01:00.000+08:00

Hey there, it's blogging time!

Today was a day of freedom, that implies that I've no work today. But hey, let me ask you guys a question, do you know what each alphabet in the word " G O L F " stands for?
G - ?
O - ?
L - ?
F - ?

Answer:

G - Green

O - Oxygen

L - Light

F - Friendship

Cool huh? This is how the word Golf came about, it really describes this sport very well. But I guess most of us didn't know about that, I'm certain many other words are also created this way, just waitin for us to find out!

2005-03-27T11:53:00.000+08:00

You saw the moon? Well, I did. But I'm still gonna blog.

Well, sometimes, I do feel that I'm really too fussy and particular about my lifestyle. But that's just me, a perfectionist in what I want. And that also means I'm kinda stubborn. I know that's not something great or worth being gleeful about. I don't want that element in me, but is it possible to do away with it? I thought it's hard to change one's nature. Should I just blend in with the environment that I'm living in and just be comfortable with what I have? I really have no answer for that, I need a sign to rectify this.

I feel that I'm demanding and pressing on too much for the life I want, and it does stress people around me, especially my family. I guess I should just tame and tone down that element in me, and be more accomodating. My family will sometimes think I'm simply too "stuck-up" at times. That's really the ugly side of me, being unreasonable when I don't get what I want.

This is so frustrating and ironic, alright, perhaps this entry was kinda pointless for you guys cos' it's basically about my faults. And some people might think, "What the heck? Why tell these to us? Don't you have better stuff to post about?"

Anyway, I just felt like releasin it out, so blogging is the only way for me. I felt better now.

2005-03-25T00:59:00.000+08:00

I simply can't bear to see this blog of mine to be dead, so here I am liven it up by posting a new entry! Alright, I know that was lame. Humour is not my metier though.

I just don't know why, work is EXTREMELY tiring today, maybe it's because of my injured toe, it really hurts badly. Though it's not very busy today, but anyway, I hope I can still walk tomorrow.

Oh yes, before I forgot, here goes the report. MOE had me posted to SP - Business. Well, I was kinda disappointed. But am still currently on the wait for my NP Mass Comm interview results. By the way, the interview SUCKED. So I really don't wanna talk about it, the interviewers just simply ensured that every question asked were ironic and almost impossible to answer within such short amount of time. They just bombard and 'shoot' me with the questions. It's obviously out to make things difficult for me and see how I react. Well, if I really got shortlisted for the course, pigs can fly and fish can swim without water.
This is the amount of hope I'm pinning for ---> .

Guess what, almost all of my friends were posted to NP, and I think I'm the only one posted to SP's Business. After making a visit to NYP, SP and NP just don't seems appealing anymore. I simply loved the neatness and simplicity of the campus. It's really neat and clean, gives me a really comfortable feeling. At least navigating around the campus was a breeze, unlike SP and NP, I find it disorganized and the buildings were just simply TOO far away from one another. Water fountains were really the mascot of NYP, you can see them almost EVERYWHERE. But reality is, I'm posted to SP. So I guess I'll learn to develop a liking for Business, in order to prepare for the worst since chances are slimmer than freelance models for my NP Mass Comm.

Alright, that's all for now, my toe is really killin me. Ow...

2005-03-21T13:42:00.000+08:00

Decided to blog about yesterday, cos' I went to many places which I've never/seldom been to. And come to think of it, Singapore ain't that small anyway, there are still many places which are yet to be discovered by most of us.

Oh, and there's no work today, as well as tomorrow, cos' I've the interview in NP, feelin nervous about it. Okay, early in the morning, my aunt said she wanna treat us a meal. I don't know why and don't bother to ask anyway. So she treated us in this restaurant called "Neptune Restaurant". It's a Chinese restaurant located in the CBD, at Clifford Pier. And that restaurant is certainly the most classy-looking and largest Chinese restaurant I've ever seen. They even got a waiting hall at the reception outside the restaurant, it's really well-furnished and gave me a 'hotel' feel to it. No wonder it's so much like a hotel, cos' that restaurant is managed by Meritus Mandarin. And inside of the restaurant, it's like "WOW". It's darn huge in there, there're 2 levels and a big performing stage in the middle of the restaurant. It's more like a ballroom, a HUGE one. I never thought Singapore will have a restaurant like this. And there were people singing on the stage, it was really good and they are talented people. But the turn-off is that the food isn't as tasty as other restaurants, it's too salty. And their service is not good at all, given the fact that they're managed by a 5-star hotel. Maybe because the waitresses there are all "aunties", so they don't really give good service.

Next on, we went to Expo to indulge ourselves in this Adidas sale held there. It was the last day of the sale, as usual, all the nice apparels are all nowhere in sight anymore. What's left are really ugly/old items there. Only managed to buy a pair of trainers and they gave a free Adidas water bottle. Okay, at least it wasn't so bad.

We left Expo soon enough, and my uncle wants to collect his bike in some weird place in Sembawang, and when we reached there, I was darn amazed. In this rather secluded part of Sembawang is actually filled with lots of old colonial houses and western architecture. I thought these can only be seen in Europe. Then my dad told me this whole stretch of architecture belongs to Australian Army last time. And no wonder the roadnames there are like "Canberra Road", "Wellington Close" and all those Auzzie/NZ inspired roadnames. It really felt like as though I was in Europe and there was a huge grass plain, the trees there are really the type you see in western countries, I've no idea what trees are those. Pine trees perhaps. I just can't feel that I was in Singapore. But in these really old houses, I presume most of them are haunted but still see people living in there. My dad told me even up till now, some of these houses still belong to Australian Government. So probably, those living in it now are Auzzies. It was really amazing to see these in a secluded and quiet corner of a neighbourhood in Singapore, Sembawang. Really never thought such a place existed. I must go and explore that interesting place on my own someday.

After discovering such an amazing place, we went to Novena Square for dinner. It's so quiet down there and lifeless. Wonder how those shop tenders live by with no business. Dined in a Thai-Chinese restaurant. It's cosy and gave me a very comfortable feelin there. And it does not look like any Thai/Chinese restaurant in any way. It looked more like a Cafe. Once again, it's quiet there except a rather large Malay family eatin too. But the food was good, and not to forget the Tom Yam soup, it's marvellous.

Alright, I love yesterday. It was really different and allowed me to realise that Singapore can be interesting too. Hope that everyday will be like that, haha. I'm certain this entry is darn long, so am gonna stop here now. Ciao.

The Final Hurdle

2005-03-20T01:37:00.000+08:00

Yup, Praise the Lord! To my greatest surprise, I was shortlisted for the upcoming interview for MCM!!! Just really wish I can pass this one last final hurdle since I've came this far. I just don't know how to express my absolute gratitude and thankfulness to the Lord, but am really indeed grateful for all that He had did for me. It was all done in His glory and grace.

Felt so bad for not turning up for the Planetshakers' Concert. It was such a rare chance to worship Lord once again, yet I can't go. Anyway, really wish and pray that all those who wanna get into their desired course/JC will get it eventually.

Okay, will write more given if my life was more exciting. See ya.

As usual...

2005-03-18T02:05:00.000+08:00

As usual, work was tiring enough. Work ended late too, so am here blogging at the wee hour. Well, I've always wished to attain the thing I want in life, but is life ever so easy and smooth all the time? I just hope what God had put in place for me will be the one that I wanted, the lifestyle that I wanted.

In one's good time, we'll be entering an advanced phase of life, which is maturing into a real adult. Somehow, it's indeed true that the adult world is far more complicating and full of traps. I've finally realised that point ever since my experience in the working society. But I'm certain that whatever I've seen/realised were just a pocket-sized portion of a pair of 'jeans'. I've yet to discover on the people who wore the 'jeans'.

Anyway, I'll go for the lifestyle I want, and shall lead that lifestyle which I've always wanted. That's my goal in life.

Wrote essays!

2005-03-14T16:25:00.001+08:00

Hi people, I'm blogging again. Well, after qualifyin for the written test, I heard they're gonna test on who are the Ministers for whichever minstries. Yeah, I went to memorize ALL of them, I guess I'm the only 16 yr old Singaporean who is so patriotic. But on the test, NONE of them came out! In fact, they didn't even test anything on that!

Okay, as usual, I'm such a dimwit that I alighted on the wrong bus stop when on the way to NP. And that bus stop was far-cry from my desired bus stop. I walked under the scorching hot sun, then when I walked to the junction at King Albert Park, I realised NP's main entrance was all the way INSIDE! NP is like located on a hill or somethin, I walked up those slopes and I guess I was the only weirdo walkin that weird route to NP.

Alas, made my way to the entrance, and realised that BLK 72 is nowhere in my sight, it's ALL the way INSIDE AGAIN! In the campus itself, it's more hills and more slopes and more stairs, those goin on diet, NP is the perfect slimming centre for ya! And finally found BLK 72, yup, went to Level 2 for the test venue, 760 people are taking the test!!! That's close to a thousand!

And here comes the test, there are 4 sections, 1st section was 5 MCQ about General Knowledge and Current Affairs. I'm already dead stucked on the first question, it was askin about the Oscar's Award, to my greatest sorrow, I didn't managed to watch the awards and the question was askin, "Which award did the movie Million Dollar Baby received?" I've not even heard of that boogie movie before!! And they asked about the exact date and final death toll of the Tsunami Disaster, I've no confidence for that either. The last one was about Golf! I don't even watch golf! And the options were alien to me, except Tiger Woods, and I chose that, anyway, the question was askin someone who has always been No.1 in golf and blah blah blah, isn't that Tiger Woods? Ok, I've no idea.

2nd section was an argumentative essay, but it's no ordinary essay. We were given two quotations and made to choose one of them. Both quotations were so abstract, I'm doomed for sure. Eventually, I chose the 2nd quotation by Indian leader, Mohandas Ghandi. His quotation was "There's more to life than increasing its speed." And we are supposed to write an argumentative essay with only that short quotation given to us!!! AARGH. I'm no abstract or analytical person.

3rd section was testing our creativity and stuff. Again, given 2 questions, made to choose 1. First one was a picture with a boy showing a VERY amazed face, it looks dumb. And we are expected to write a slogan or advertising line for the 2 questions. 2nd one was a comic strip, but we were supposed to fill in the dialogues. I chose that question. And I think my ad was not attractive at all, it's those boring, common insurance ad.

Last section was an essay about ourselves and why we wanna choose MCM and stuff. And what we know about MCM, what are the demands for Media industry. Time was running out for me, and I didn't really write that essay well. Overall, the test was HARD!!! Not surprised if I can't qualify for the upcoming interview. Alright, gonna stop here. Bye.

Unveil the Secrets~

2005-03-08T13:09:00.000+08:00

Ok, the secrets are just simply the O Level results, nothin so secretive since it's no longer a secret now. I know I've not been updating or blogging cos' life is really too busy? Or maybe I couldn't have the urge or desire to blog, well, we all do get sick and tired of stuff sometimes huh.

Alright, results was much better than I expected. Comparing my results with those smarties, mine is simply just a small fry but to me, it was rather a pleasant surprise for me. Well, for those who would've known, I lost complete hope for my E.Maths due to my foolish act of neglect, that is to forget to complete the last page!! And I had recollections of comparing answers with friends, all of them were different from me! They all had the same answers but not me! And I was certain that I got a heck of mistakes in the paper, pretty sure that I won't do well for it, or even fail the paper.

Well, tension and fear dominated me as we're just moments away from the release of results. I was so scared about my Math that I didn't even talk much or laugh much, I was just in my own world, staring into blank space. Nothin seems funny or worth laughing about. I was scared stiff.

When it was my turn to move forward and face the music, first thing Ah pat told me was, "Congrats, you did well for Math, it was a B4." This is simply the most shocking thing that I will ever expect for my Math, throughout the year, I was failing and failing my Math, the most I got was just a C6. Nothin beyond that. Maybe to others, getting a B4 for Math is nothin to be proud of cos' I know tonnes of people got A1 for it. But for a frequent failure in Maths like me, I felt darn relieved yet I was still trembling, maybe that was the after effects.

Somehow, I really couldn't believed that I got a B4 for Math, I felt that I'm not worthy for it. Anyway, another shockin truth about my Chinese, my oral was only a Merit, chances are slim for me to jump for B3 to A2, yet I did it! Okay, but overall, my points was only average, not incredibly fantastic.
L1R5 - 20/L1R4 - 15.

But was kinda disappointed for English. Anyway, went for the SAE(Special Admissions Exercise) for MCM(Mass Comm) in NP, cos my English grade could only qualify for the SAE in MCM. And filled up a form, met Nurul and her friend there out of the blue, her friend was applying for it too, tonnes of people were applying for it. We have to write an essay of 100 words or less on the spot, and so I wrote, hope I can pass that essay. There was this girl opposite me, she scored an A1 for English! Yet she still came to apply under SAE, but the fact is, she applied both SAE and JAE, seems really keen in getting into the course. Nurul's friend's English was A2, I was the worst there, B3!

At the very last minute, I got Aisyah to come down to apply too, since she also wanted to get into MCM. At least I felt better with her presence, cos' her English was B3 too. We need to pass the essay in order to qualify for another written test, and after that, we need to pass the written test in order to qualify for an interview. This is worse than clinchin onto a job! But I really hope I can stay till the interview... AHH.

Ok, got work later, I think I'm gonna quit soon, sick of workin. But I need bucks! Aargh.!

2005-02-16T15:23:00.000+08:00

This entry is kinda blogged for yesterday.

Well, today was OFF-day for me, of course I'll cherish that hard-to-come day-off. So far, things are still okay for me in CC(Coffee Club), got to know more people now, and of course, I think I'm fine with all my managers. They are all very nice people, especially one of the younger manager from HQ, Felicia, she is darn nice and easy to talk to.

Ooh, but I don't really like the supervisors, one of them is always picking on me, and when I talk to her, she don't even respond, so how can she expect me to respond when she's talkin to me?! Well, being a supervisor doesn't make you a queen/slave-driver! Don't blame me if I'm not up to your standard! I'm no superman alright, one moment, you expect me to buzz that table, another moment, you want me to pre-buzz, and yes, I KNOW WHAT PRE-BUZZING MEANS!! And another moment, you want me to get goblets, and cutleries. Hey woman! You expect me to do all these ALL AT ONCE?! Don't yell at me if I didn't put that darn tray in the right place, cos' I'm VERY NEW here! No one ever told me I can't stack a tray above of the serving tray! And please, don't speak so fast when you can't! You want me to get a teacup when I'm not even told where it is placed at? And you speak so fast, teacup sounded like teapot to me! Don't give me that sick and annoyed look when I'm the victim here! I'm no person who can multi-task SO MUCH like a robot, I'm still human alright. So please treat me like one!

But other than that, all is well, I think lots of stuff and experience can be picked up from there, at least now I know how to collect the bill. And one more thing, Buzzers ain't superman! Bear that in mind!

A VERY PROLONGED WAIT

2005-02-11T15:51:00.000+08:00

Oh well, so sorry people, that was a really really really amazingly long wait ever since my last post. Well, I've been busy job-hunting and of course, I've found a job FINALLY. It's a waiter job in Coffee Club @ Ngee Ann City. Well, got DARN pissed with some narrow-minded personalities from Fox, a branch in Orchard. Darn 'her' and 'him', initially 'he' already promised to employ me there, even made me buy that darn black shirt from U2 and after that 'she' objected it, and disregard me to work there. Yeah, I mean, Fox, SO WHAT?! That was really mean and pointless. Well, at least Coffee Club was much NICER.

And by the way, I almost forgot, HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!! GONG XI FA CAI!! My new year's eve was already booked by Coffee Club for a 6 hrs day work, it was really 'wise' of them to employ me at this timing, cos I can be enslaved by them to slog like a buffalo there, it was darn busy and tiring but at least, I'm happy to work there.

Alright, I don't wanna blog about my daily events going on in my life all the time, it's really pointless too, cos many readers who claim to be adventurous and cool will hate these things which they think it's boring to them, so I'm actually doing somekind of service in here huh?! Give me more ideas and inspiration then!

2005-01-12T23:50:00.000+08:00

How about giving a try for a "walkathon" from Raffles City ---to--- CityLink ---to--- Suntec City, and then from Suntec back to Raffles City? I've never fancy that, but it was considered fine cos' I walked with the trio of entertainment, Cheryl, Clement and Lijuan, just them? Oh, it's totally amazing indeed, laughter and crap were inevitable.

Anyway, I laughed so hard today, that the Zinger meal I ate from KFC digested in an instant! Well, today was indeed a fulfilling day for discoveries, we discovered a guy wearing his pants in such a way that his underwear was seen very clearly and also discovered 2 lesbos holdin hands and acting intimately, obviously the other party was a "guy" in disguise, well, that's their life, they chose to be like that or they are born to be like that or they are men in women's bodies, whatever! They are still human beings like us. Anything wrong with that?

Okay, am gonna stop blogging about the day cos' I know it's kinda boring, but am such a boring soul here, what more can I do? Alright, stopping here now, it's a short entry so yeah, THAT'S IT!

Secrets revealed

2005-01-11T22:52:00.000+08:00

Well, when I mention "Secrets revealed", I won't mention names nor gender here or whatsoever, just the secret itself. As you guys would have known from the previous entry, I thought am suffering from depression, I guess am fine now.

I got this sign of assurance from a friend of mine, cos' this friend of mine suffers the EXACT SAME condition as I do! I was kinda surprised actually, cos' I thougt am the only crazy donkey who will think of 'unhealthy' things (don't worry, 'unhealthy' does not mean porn here, it's just something else which I don't wish to reveal it here.) He/she told me that he/she did the exact same thing as I did as well, and it was worse than mine, cos' it happened very frequently.

I feel so assured and relieved now, that am not some crazy moomoo who think of such "crazy" stuff. Okay, I know it's frustrating for you readers to read this "top secret"-like entry and not have the slightest idea exactly what is the "secret" all about, so I will stop it now alright?

Well, today is boring too, now my mood is darn good, YEAH!!!

2005-01-10T23:19:00.000+08:00

Yes, job hunting CRAZE for me!! That Pastamania job? Too bad, they only wanted Cheryl but not me. Guess Cheryl didn't like it either, preferably the uniform, they gave her the 2nd-hand uniform which was worn by others. And I guess she hated there for this. And didn't want the job anymore.

But job hunting goes on for me, on very low spirits nowadays, no idea why, think I'm suffering from depression, I'm beginning to say really weird stuff and making funny accusations and talk VERY LITTLE nowadays, are these symptoms?! AHH! I hope I'm normal...

Went to try many jobs and asked for vacancies, hope at least ONE of them contacts me and clinch a job for me. Anyway, got a job recommendation by Cheryl's primary school friend who works in Breeks Cafe, okay, that job was contract-based, not appealing to me. By the way, her friend was easy to get along, had a nice chat with her. Had some mudpie in Coffee Club with Cheryl, Clement and Samantha(her primary schoolmate). Had pasta there too, it was fine. But the mudpie was really nice indeed!

Okay, that's it for the day, I know it's kinda boring cos' I've been yakking non-stop about JOBS for most of the entries, but too bad, I will only stop yakking about these when I clinched onto a job, if not, this will continue!! Wahahahahaa...

Conspiracy theorists see dark forces behind tsunami disaster (AFP)

2005-01-06T20:45:00.000+08:00

In case you guys might be wondering what the title meant, it was taken from AFP (Agence France-Presse), world's leading news agency. And yes, this is a news article.

Read it from Yahoo! News, http://sg.news.yahoo.com/050106/1/3pogt.html. Just some general knowledge that I'm providing, not trying to set up any arguement or debate here.

Regarding this article, I can't determine the credibility of the information provided by these conspiracy theorists. It's up to everyone, to believe or not to believe. Well, there are simply just too many things around us which we will never know the truth hidden behind the veil, some things are meant to be kept as a mystery/secret FOREVER and it will be. We are just normal, ordinary civilians who get on with our lives just like everyone else, it's not up to us to make accusations or strong opinions on such news article anyway.

Alright, enough about these news stories, like I've just said on my previous entry, I'm gonna dye my hair again, and I did. True enough, at least the colour on my hair now is much more revealing and obvious. But I won't say it look fantastic on me, hope I don't look like some typical ah-beng, HOPE SO!!!

I know it's my cliche now to say that I've found a job then in the end, I end up jobless again, yes, it's very boring to repeat that fact again. BUT, it's a fact afterall, so I shall report it, I've found a job in HangTen, though the pay is EXTREMELY LOW, $4/hr, but I couldn't care less, I really need a job. Hope that the interview tomorrow will be successful one. I wanna report on something like "Oh, my job is confirmed!!". Yeah.

Okay, my life isn't that amazing, that's for today only, goodbye!

Colour me!

2005-01-05T23:47:00.000+08:00

Okay, I just dyed my hair yesterday and I'm gonna dye it AGAIN tomorrow. It was light reddish brown and guess the colour didn't turn out well. Gonna dye again with an EVEN LIGHTER colour. It's actually same as Cheryl's colour, hope it turns out to look at least something like hers.

Well, life is simply too dull, and I need a job desperately. DESPERATELY indeed. Tonnes of people had already returned to school and I felt so awkward to be rotting like a maggot at home. I NEED TO GET SOMETHING TO DO!!!!

So I kept myself busy by changing the blogskin AGAIN. I like this nostalgic feeling of the blog. No idea why, but I just like it. Well, I may just change the blogskin whenever I'm bored with it, cos' I'm so darn free and never busy.

Once again, I really desires for peace to come as soon as possible. Guess 2005 won't be a very smooth and peaceful year. Let's pray for the best to come!

Shu no shinrai! (Trust in the Lord!)

2005?

2005-01-04T01:28:00.000+08:00

Okay, 2005, full of hopes and fears, every year is full of hopes and fears anyway. So that was pretty redundant. It was really unusual and unlike of me spending the "prelude" of new year with cliques who seems like strangers to me last time. Other than Joanna and Weida, the rest such as Connie and Shilei were all NEW peeps to me.

Went to East Coast Park on New Year's Eve's eve. Meaning it's on the 30th Dec' 2004. Well, the Tsunami disaster did make me become slightly wave-phobic, but after cycling along the coast and standing right in front of the waves during high-tide certainly aid in striking off that phobia away.

As usual, Joanna is really over-reacting for the waves, I thought I was the only one to be wave-phobic after the Tsunami disaster, guess her phobic condition seems to be worse than mine. MUCH MUCH WORSE. Well, she even screamed like as though the wave was really gonna become a Tsunami, it's really obvious that the wave was nothing in comparison to the Tsunami and there are no signs/possibilities of Tsunami attacking East Coast during that time.

Anyway, many funny stuff happened on that day, but it's really a large chunk of input which I don't think I will say every little single thing which happened.

31th Dec' 2004, our last day for the year. Again, I went counting down with many new personalities. This is really unusual of me again, not just because of the people whom I'm counting with, but because of the VENUE as well. It was at the high and misty MOUNT FABER!

It was pretty fun on that day though it was the first time that I don't feel as if 2005 had arrived after the clock ticks after 12. Probably because of the after effects from the Tsunami diasaster. Just don't feel really good to celebrate happily away when there are still so many helpless souls struggling to stay alive for the next coming year.

Perhaps it was the right choice made by Singapore to scale down the celebrations and canceling the Fireworks display. Well, our loss of not having the chance to watch the fireworks was just so minor and pointless, it was really Nothing compared to the huge loss of the victims and family members of the Tsunami catastrophe who lost their wives and children and all of their loved ones in just ONE night.

2nd & 3rd Jan' 2005, bought many things from Takashimaya for these 2 days. Firstly, the very much long-awaited Digital Camera was finally acquired. It was a Panasonic Lumix FX7. I simply love that camera. Bought some new year clothes too. It was shopping-craze for me.

Hey, guess I will update more next time? Cos' I think I'm typing too much, Bye!

A day spent in KTV

2004-12-29T14:10:00.000+08:00

Alrighty, it was just another day spent in town yesterday. By the way, I'm blogging for yesterday alright? Ok, initially, I was at Lot 1 with Cheryl to go job-hunting AGAIN, but failed again. We ended up munchin in Long John Silver's.

Look at us, it's already gonna be Jan 2005 soon, yet we still can't find a job! Call us lazy or whatever goofy nicknames you wanna call it, but that's us, if we aren't like that, you better stay away, we could be aliens in disguise!

But good news was that Clement told us his aunt's company "Takase" or somethin, may need people in January, alright, that was very assuring for us. Really hope that we can get that job in our hands.

And we went to town for KTV actually, but saw this Maestro Bistro in Cine, so we tried our luck, we sat there to wait for the boss to come over and talk to us about the details, we SAT and SAT and look like some dumbos. He took his really nice own sweet time to come over, that was very long indeed. Ok, he's a Caucasian (shan't call him an angmor, cos' this term is offending to them). His english was so fluent that it was kinda hard to catch him onto the track. But the turn-off was that we are required to work from 7pm to 5am!!! On some days that is. We are just waiters/waitresses, not some hookers out here finding for business till dawn!

Alright, after that, went to the KTV in PartyWorld. With Cheryl, Ancherle, Vanessa, Terence, and Edison. Ailin was supposed to turn up but she couldn't make it at the very last minute. But it's ok though, we don't blame her. The KTV session was nice, but there were just some parts not right, Ancherle and Vanessa were practically shouting and singing off-key purposely in MOST of the songs, I didn't say ALL. Okay, it's fine to do it in some songs, but not in most of the songs, it's like you guys paid ALOT to sing in a KTV, don't waste it okay? What's more, you guys have good voices, don't hide it! In fact, my voice sucks! It's usually me, Cheryl and Ter who were singing, others were either not singing or shouting at the microphone.

Ancherle, Vanessa and Edison left very early, and it was just me, Cheryl and Terence. But Clement came later on. We sang till 9pm. Alrighty, it's tiring cos ' we went to have dinner in Cine after that, and went to the arcade to play. What a night. Anyway, that's what we, typical adolescents do right? We are under-aged for pubs and over-aged for playgrounds. That's hard!

Devastating Tsunami

2004-12-28T13:50:00.000+08:00

It's truly devastating, this sudden mass loss of lives happened in just 1 day. This shows how destructive and horrifying Mother Nature can get, the whole scene seems so much like a scene from the Bible, Noah's Ark perhaps.

What did they do to deserve all these? Perhaps only God has the answer. He definitely has a reason for letting this happen, and it must be for a good cause which many of us will not notice. Well, just like what essy said, He is equally devastated and sad, in fact, He feels even more sad than us, all these people and creatures which perished were all of His own creations, all of them belonged to Him, it's just like His own flesh and blood.

Let's not blame and curse God for all these which happened, it's all destined and it's all in God's hands. I know this will sound very cliche, but life is really too fragile, no one will know what will happen to themselves for good.

Well, such catastrophes won't simply end so soon, more will surely come if it's true that we are nearing to THE END TIMES.

Trauma

2004-12-22T21:12:00.000+08:00

Aww... I've no idea why this happened. For all of a sudden, my mind was infested with tremendous fear of my O's results. I'm just so darn scared that I can't make it. I really don't wanna retake, and I've dumped almost all of my books away, I can't afford to retake!

It's really like a nightmare for me. Especially maths, I just HOPE I can do well in it or simply pass for it. I will really breakdown if I fail my maths. REALLY.

I'm dying to get into Ngee Ann Poly for Mass Comm. These worries struck my head because I read the newsletter NP posted to me, that was a mass production, so I guess every O Level's candidate would have received them too.

I suddenly got so worried and got freaked out when all these came into my mind, AHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, Please... I need to pass my O's...PLEASE!!!!

2004-12-19T23:11:00.000+08:00

Alrighty, got so pissed just now. What's with you, stupid uncle? I'm certain you had better things to do than noticing what are the food I ate and have not ate. If you are so thoughtful and considerate, mind your words alright? I'm a human/homosapien! Not a goat or some animals that you claim which eat grass! And please, I certainly DON'T EAT GRASS!

I sincerely think you should allow your wife to attend some social etiquette classes, preferably on dining etiquette! Cos' she can't dine like a proper human either! As for you, you can join your wife in the social etiquette classes as well, and extra night classes on Basic Courtesy! Goodness gracious me, you certainly spoilt my mood for the meal!

What the heck, such an enjoyable feast was turned into such a frustrating and infuriating one because of some rude uncle! And the food was not exactly appetising anyway, I just dislike attending Chinese Weddings. Cos' the food are simply not appetising for me, every Chinese weddings are the same anyway.

Anyway, I'm just so pissed after the meal, got even more frustrated when Jo told me that she can't turn up on Tuesday, AARGH! What an add-on to my anger. Anyway, I don't blame her anyway, just my luck to encounter that rude uncle and got too annoyed.

Oh well, guess it will be boring tomorrow, and Christmas won't be amazingly enjoyable for me as well. Goodbye.

It has been a long long time

2004-12-18T11:06:00.000+08:00

Yeah, has been really a long time ever since I blogged before I depart to Bangkok. Well, was extremely happy to be back in Singapore. At least it's safer here than compared to BKK. Why? Cos' my mum's bag was cut open by pickpockets. And my dad's passport and my digital camera were both stolen!

We went to the nearest Thai police station, then to the S'pore Embassy and then to Thai Immigration just to make a police report and temporary paper passport to go back to S'pore. All I can say is that these pickpockets are professionals, not in the sense that they are some doctors or lawyers, but some professionals specialized in cutting open bags and getting people to jam with you in a big crowd, then rob you.

Well, I think I blog more tomorrow or so, cos' I don't feel like bloggin now, sorry for the late entry.

I'm gonna touch the skies!

2004-12-08T13:13:00.000+08:00

Yeah, am gonna touch the skies soon. Has been quite sometime ever since I blogged, and this will be my 'last' entry for now, until I come back from Bangkok. Well, I'm flying off tomorrow, with Singapore Airlines. Okay, enough of all the reporting and announcing.

For the past few days, I went out quite often, and found a job yesterday, Thank God! But still awaiting for their call for the interview. It's at Coffee Bean @ Lot 1. That coffee bean is like the smallest branch you can ever find in Singapore. But anyway, I do hope I can get that job successfully. The pay is just as little when compared to the small size of the outlet, only $4/hr. But I couldn't care less anymore, as long as I get a job, I'm contented. Finally understood and experienced how hard it is to find a job. Think am gonna have a hard time finding for jobs when I enter the workforce for good. And what's more, Aisyah is also workin there, so it's still not too bad.

Went to meet Cheryl and Clement in Causeway Point with Aisyah, aww, am terribly sorry Cheryl, for kicking you. Felt extremely bad after that, didn't know what to do/say, just EXTREMELY SORRY. I also had no idea why the heck I did that, I just hate it when I do something like that, aargh!

Okay, gonna end here, Changi Airport, HERE I COME!

Sickly Ol' Me

2004-12-02T13:14:00.000+08:00

[Click above for a larger image]

Alrighty, haven't been blogging for donkey days, well, ever since the Sentosa trip, I've been rather sick cos' I'm down with a bad flu and a sore throat subsequently. Frustration dominated me even more cos' I've been trying hard to find a job despite of my sick condition, but failed, who will want a sick guy like me right?

Ok, Sentosa trip was fun and enjoyable, but I did have mixed emotions during the trip, just that I did not show it, tried damn hard to conceal that. Anyway, sad things aside, it has really been donkey ages ever since my last trip to Sentosa with some very close buddies yet one of them is not with us anymore. Okay, why the heck did I detour myself back to those sad memories?!

Okay, new para, well, it was just so fun, had a great time there, but am just so lazy to blog about the details of that day, cos' what I can say is just PURE fun alright?

Watched SI yesterday, GRAND FINALS!! As expected, Taufik was the sole winner of the 6-months competition. Yesterday was certainly the best and most spectacular performance from SI, love it. Changed the background music "Celebration" by Kool and The Gang. Well, this song was sung by the idol finalists as well, just to blend in with the celebration of Taufik's victory, so I changed the song. Anyway, I voted for Taufik and Sly once for each. Sly's performance was good too, just not as good as Taufik's, wahahaha.

Anyway, may God Bless me while am still on the hunt for jobs, really wanna cling onto a job real soon, "Ya-hooo"!~

Job Hunting

2004-11-27T22:45:00.000+08:00

Hey people, just back home. Alright, today was a job-hunting day followed by a moment of holiness in church. Was stuck in MOS @ Westmall with Cheryl and Clement to find a job from the newspapers, apparently, Clement is just sitting there to spend precious time with Cheryl while the real job-seekers are just me and Cheryl. Okay, as you would have known, for part-timers like us, who does not have any other qualifications besides PSLE, have limited choice of jobs available, and I know this is VERY common, yeah, we chose the Waiter/Waitress job in BISTRO Cafe @ Cineleisure, well, the interview will be either on Monday/Tuesday, hope we do get the job, cos' the pay is NOT a lot yet NOT too little, $5/hr.

Okay, after that, we went to church together with Esther, it was fine, as usual, Pastor Jeremy was hilarious and a great speaker as well. His sermons are never dull. But today, I was so not in the mood for worship, I just hate this feeling, I seldom get such feeling, and I feel bad for it, well, things will be fine really soon! On the bus back to Bukit Batok, it was kinda fun and lively, well, the people are just simply lively, what can I say? Played some word-continuation game, I know that sounded kiddish or kiddo or kidda or kiddy or kiddu, but it wasn't such a bad game afterall! Anyway, essy's bro is as hyper as her, no wonder they are brothers and sisters. On the contrary, Esther Tan's bro don't resemble her at all! What a world! Okay, no offence taken alright? Haha. And the real crapping and trash came into the picture in BK, it was really like CRAZEEY!! Clement used his super 'angelic' fake voice again, haha, it was just too funny.

Anyway, I got some pondering and decision-making business going on later, so gonna stop here now, Ciao!

Graduation Fever

2004-11-25T22:05:00.000+08:00

[Click for a bigger view]

Alright, yesterday was Hillgrove's very FIRST Graduation Nite 2004 of the pioneer batch, which includes me. It was definitely better than I thought, NUS Guild House was kinda cool, looks like some kind of country club, has swimming pool and a mini-ballroom. We had the event held in the ballroom, so it was not too bad, at least we got to sit and dine. The retro theme was fine and fits into the event, however, ironically speaking, I dressed formally, not retro, haha, cos' I've dressed retro once and hated it.

Anyway, guess all of us had fun in there and of course, the teachers' skit was interesting, they dressed in our school uniform which was a RARE sight! The multimedia presentation which flashed many photos of our sec 1 times, was really meaningful and brought many memories back to me. Although its either my face was not facin the cam or my my hair will be facing the cam, in other words, it's hard to spot me although I was featured in one or two photos. It was kinda sad to hear that Mr Oon is retiring next year with effect from Jan 2005, but we are glad and proud to be the LAST class that Mr Oon had taught out of his 30 years of teaching experience, thumbs up to Mr Oon! The part when tonnes of guys (which included me as well) swarmed up to the stage and sang "Peng You/Friends" up there was a touching yet "breathtaking" sight, cos' I was standing at the very last row, and it's super squeezy, I can't breathe!! But it was courageos of the 3 non-chinese to sing a chinese song on stage, good job Aisyah and the rest!

Well, don't wanna comment much cos' I already said alot about my feelings and emotions of the parting in my previous entries, but indeed, memories started to flash back like movie sneak previews, felt kinda emotional at home. Went home straight after the event, that's very unlike of me, well, cos' there's a direct bus home, and most of them wanted to go home, I was kinda tired too, no idea why, but still had fun yesterday.

Thank you and Goodbye Hillgrove!

State of Euphoria

2004-11-22T17:09:00.000+08:00

I hereby announce that the Grand O's are FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!! WOOO!!!!
Confetti please, thanks.

Okay, finally, I've seen the "light"! The Light of freedom has arrived. Finally, we can lose touch with books, homework and exams for a really really really long period of time. But am so free now that I've no idea how to spend the 6 months holiday!! Suddenly feel like there's no aim for the day, cos' studies has just took off to another realm which I will be claiming it back after a long wait. I'm as free as an empty basket now!!

Anyway, Grad. Nite is coming soon, in 2 days' time, not EXTREMELY excited about it but anticipating it. Perhaps the excess stress from the Grand O's previously moulded me into someone with not much drive within, I need to rejevunate myself!!

En passant, Homosapiens are simply far too complicating and complexed, it's not an easy task to predict or make a guess about what he/she is thinking about. I truly agree with this statement "You never know what he is up to behind the curtains, he can very well be a wolf/fox in disguise."

Why must people go around cheating and lying to people for their own pleasure? Sincerity is not so easily attained cos' we are never solely sincere before. What's the aim of engaging in such persistance? We are so vulnerable for each other, the thought of thinking that the other party is really sincere, lures us into becoming the prey and eventually, trapped. Why? Cos' the other party is just a scheming fella who likes to hunt for young, guillible and silly donkey fools through his foolproof conspiracy act.

What's this hunting and gobbling about? Not everyone who is 16 years old are nutty nitwits or ignorant fishcakes. This is the modern world where the young are bold enough to carry guns with them and execute a massacre in school.

Your foiled plan is the success of my principles. I'm not a mannequin you see in boutiques that can be manipulated by you. Thank you for allowing me to discover the fact that not everyone are sincere, being extremely cautious and mildly suspicious is what I need to reveal that true identity behind the veil. I've been taken for a ride and regretted terribly.

Once bitten, twice shy.

I'm done for the day, goodbye.

Trip to town AGAIN!

2004-11-21T19:18:00.000+08:00

Konnichiwa, alright, I'm back to town again yesterday, just me and Cheryl. Cos' I think I've some touch-ups to do for my prom clothes, but the focus is on Cheryl's shopping, she decided to shop around instead of buying prom clothes cos' she thought that she has the outfit at home. As usual, we are in TOPMAN/TOPSHOP. Well, obviously Leandra is not there again, but we did spotted another Singapore Idol Finalist who just got voted out in the latest competition.

Initially we were in Cineleisure, but Cheryl's friend, namely Ming Jun (Ok, his name is just the opposite of my name) kinda called her to tell her he spotted Olinda Cho in Heeren, so we rushed over there just to take a glimpse of her cos I was actually a fan of hers. We only planned to just take a glimpse of her and scram, but we searched for her presence from Level 1 to Level 5 and then back to Level 3, alas, we spotted her. And we were tempted to get a closer look of her but saw many people taking down her autograph and taking pictures with her. Well, you know, we got so tempted that we also felt like taking a picture with her cos Cheryl bought her digicam along. But we were just so shy and afraid of embarassment.

Finally, Cheryl plucked up courage and asked Oli to take a picture with us, obviously she gotta agree with it right? She has no reason to reject us, haha. So she replied casually, "Caaan." Voila! We took a picture with Olinda!!! She really got what it takes to be an idol, well, fate played her out and she had to leave, what a pity.

Cheryl and I had ice milk tea in MOS Burger @ Takashimaya, we fooled around with the digicam and chatted, hehe, simply just wasting time. Then we took bus 174 to Jurong Point to meet up with Clement for dinner, we fooled around in the bus AGAIN with the digicam, haha. I think just me and her can put many people in the bus into a state of annoyance. It was a crazily long journey, I would have stoned throughout the journey if Cheryl wasn't there, haha. We crack stupid lame jokes which sounded exclusively funny to us ONLY, no one will know what the crap we're laughing cos it's just alien stuff to them.

We were terribly late and made cremet wait for our LONG-AWAITED arrival. Had dinner in the food court and cremet ate chicken curry rice surprisingly. To his misfortune, the curry was EXCLUSIVELY SPICY!! Even I can't take that level of spice, but he did it and of course, in front of Cheryl, she must be proud of him, haha! We hanged out till all the shops in JP was closed and we just sat and chat in Coffee Bean and Mac for granted without ordering anything, of course, we were not caught as well, we are just too skillful.

Oh well, tomorrow is the LAST paper for the Grand O's!!!! That really calls for a celebration! Just endure for an hour and we are OFFICIALLY FREE!!! WOOOOOOOOT!

Shopping is a chore too much for me..

2004-11-19T23:48:00.000+08:00

Alright, shopping is like once in a lifetime for me, like now, I have to charge myself to a sudden shopping spree cos of Graduation Nite, I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT!!! It's tiring, tedious, energy-consuming, life-threatening, frustrating, stressful and most of all, I felt like DYING!!

Here goes, I was forced by my dictator-mama to shop the Grad. Nite clothes only with her presence, and not with my friends, nothing that I've said will let her change her mind in letting me go with my friends, okay, but the deal is, she will be paying for me, so in order to be practical, I don't mind getting NAGGED by her for the whole day and agreed to go with her without any conditions. She has absolute control and "rules" the family like a totalitarian state, hehe, I know that sounded kinda exagerrating, but it's pretty true. In a way it is, she is a very good and responsible ruler, I like her!

Well, went to TOPMAN in Wisma Atria with mama today, initially, I wanted to buy a jacket I saw the other day, which was $119, but then, I saw a new arrival, a much more formal coat, and I personally thought that I looked good in it, but the price was far-cry, $156!!! To my surprise, mama agreed and bought it for me! That was very very unlike of her! But she continued saying, "But your inner top must be EXCLUSIVELY CHEAP!" And she picked a red V-cut tee for me, it was priced $16 only, very exclusive indeed. It was an uber plain tee with no pictures/designs, but simplicity works on me well.

Guess who I saw in TOPMAN today, Leandra Raisiah, that's how Gurmit always announce her name for her performance, haha. Kinda saw her face-to-face, she was with this Eurasian-looking FAT friend, that FAT friend of hers is always featured on SI, her best pal i guess. And of course, with many other of her friends too, she looks the same in person, not too much of a difference. I notice ever since she was 'kicked' OUT from the competition, you won't see an abundance of people asking for her signatures anymore, the people who saw her in TOPMAN were kinda cold, just walked past her like a breeze, haha. Guess Oli's fate and many others will be the same as Lea ever since.

Okay, back to the shopping craze, this is my first time to be stuck in the fitting room with TONNES of apparel to fit on. Well, as for my bottom, I already got a pair of jeans and an executive style black pants at home, most probably, I'll wear the black pants, it suits the outlook bettter. Got myself a wristband in TOPMAN as well, it looks great to me. As I'd thought, my top will look pretty dull and empty, so I bought a cross-necklace/choker or whatever you call it, just for accesories purpose on that night. As for my footwear, I went to BATA in Anchorpoint and bought a black shoe, it's not leather, just some smart casual type of shoes, at least, after the grad. nite, I can wear that shoe out to town or anywhere I want. Leather shoes aren't worth it for a 16 year old.

In case you might be wondering why am I in Anchorpoint when I was in Orchard intially, cos' my papa wanted to change the furniture at home, living room's sofa (cos it collapsed), living room's TV plus hi-fi stand, living room's glass display cabinet, my wardrobe (cos it collapsed again), and my sister's bed (cos it collapsed too), and most probably, a new TV. Hey, PLEASE don't misunderstand, am not trying to show off here, but you can very much see and understand if you've been to my house, my sis has no bed for a year, I don't have a normal wardrobe for months, my living room has no sofa for years, and my TV is here for more than 5 years. My house certainly and desperately needs a COMPLETE makeover.

Okay, I spent about $213 today just for my grad.nite clothes, please shut up if you are gonna say that I'm rich, loaded or something. I'm NOT RICH NOR LOADED! It just happens that I seldom shops, that's why, when I do shop, it's a tremendous amount. And because my coat was uber expensive, other than that, all my stuff are very cheap, even my inner top is only $16! And I don't wear leather shoes.

But all these shopping is really dehydrating the hell out of me, It's VERY VERY TIRING! Thanks to this grad.nite, hope I'm not too scantily-dressed or over-dressed on that night. My eyes are shutting, good day everyone, Goodbye.

The Grand O's has become a Legend!

2004-11-18T15:37:00.000+08:00

Yes, the Grand O's is a legend, a myth and a phantasy now, the hallucination has ended. But I'm VERY VERY GLAD NOW!!! Such a heavy burden is off my back now! I feel so free and casual now. But the sudden burden which made its way to cloud 9, created a sudden inhabitant in me, just not used to such "freedom" now, need time to adjust and adapt. Anyway, I'm free from mugging over secondary school stuff, isn't that great?

We had a great feast with Miss Yanti in KFC yesterday, she treated us for it, that's so nice and generous of her, isn't it? In case you might be wondering who are "We", it consists of me, Cheryl, Clement, Jason, Weida, Xinzhi, Yonghwee and Daniel. It was fun and you know, those jokers, are always cracking hilarious jokes out of yanti, haha. Reached home at about 8 pm, felt so tired and lethargic cos I slept at 3 plus in the morning during the previous night.

1 more paper for Monday, and we are OFFICIALLY FREE from the Grand O's!!! That paper is such a perfect ending for Monday and that paper lasts for only an hour, can't wait for that day! Well, I'm clueless about what to carry on next, so I shall end my entry here first, will blog more when I've more inspirations and ideas? Hehe, come back for more okay? Whoo...

Leaving On A Jet Plane

2004-11-13T21:51:00.000+08:00

As stated on my title, yeah, this song "Leaving On A Jet Plane" by Chantal Kreviazuk is truly an awesome song. Well, I never got tired after listening countless of times. Anyway, O's are ending real soon and like I've said for several times, I CAN'T WAIT!!! Can't believe time actually flies as fast as a jet plane, or a Concorde perhaps. 4 years of endurance and memories will all come to a halt soon, I've been traveling on this same old jet plane for 4 years, and the clouds on the cerulean blue sky which accompanied me throughout the flight of 4 years illustrates vivid memories. Though the clouds may seem to look identical, yet behind that white veil uncovers different colourful portraits of memories. The clouds on the sky are just like powerful trails of recall.

[ Korintojin he no daini no tegami 3:17 ] Shu wa mitamadesu. Soshite, Shu no mitamano arutokoroni wa jiyu ga arimasu.

[ 2 Corinthians 3:17 ] Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Circle of Friends

2004-11-06T22:39:00.000+08:00

<---Me !

Oh well, this is just a brief collage of my circle of friends, I know it's not very fantastic nor magnificent, cos' I did this in a rush, sorry for the messy outlook. Will improve on it after my O's. Ciao!

Cambridge Blues...

2004-11-06T17:30:00.000+08:00

Alrighty, decided to blog again since I'm taking a 3 days "break" till my next paper on Monday. Well, as you would have known, the long-anticipated Cambridge 'O' Levels Examinations had already start the ball rolling. The exams were okay so far, till now, I will just say that I was extremely careless for my E.Maths paper 1, shan't talk about it here, its agitating. Physics paper 2 was NOT VERY smooth for me, but hope that my Chemistry paper 2 and Science paper 1 can make up for the loss in my Physics paper. On the contrary, English, Chinese and Social Studies made my day to be filled with glee. Well, just hope that my upcoming papers will be appealing for me. Gonna pray hard as well.

Paradise is making his way closer and closer to all of us!! Woohoo! I'm speechless now for the first time. En passant, Peugeot 206 Coupé Cabriolet is my aspiration, simply love that car! Goodbye.

Dedicated to the SUPERFICIAL PLASTIC out there.

2004-10-21T01:56:00.000+08:00

Right, I decided to blog just for this time cos' I think I've got an abundance of information to convey to this Plastic whom I've known for quite some time. You know what? After reading your blog entry which was about me, I know "*Joe" was reffering to me, whatever, just present my name there BIG and CLEAR for everyone to see, I don't need you to do any identity protection scheme here. You know how to spell it? It's J-U-N M-I-N-G. En passant, I do not hide people's identities because I do things openly! When I wanna give critics which are true, I do not hide! Since you had fun blogging about the crap out of me, please, do it openly, just present my name there, I won't hold it against you for that.

GERALD GOH JUN HAN, You are certainly an irony, I can assure you that. Before the conflict, you were thanking me for helping you so much during those troubled times, this is evident in my tagboard, but now, because I know you do bear grudges just like any other human in this planet does, so in your blog of yours, I paid extra attention to your last sentence, "You never did help me at all." Man, what was that suppose to mean?! For a moment, because you were in good terms with me, you praised me just for the sake of being superficial infront of me? Another moment, you said I did not help you at all, wow, thanks for the front you had for me. You know, that's the most influencing factor that made me so pissed now. And by the way, YOU ALSO DID NOT EVEN HELPED ME A SINGLE BIT, go do some recollections and you will know. You are so damn fake, are you made of plastic or flesh? I'm clueless about that. How fake and superficial can you get? Fine, I did not help you at all, cos' you took me for granted.

You called me Almost EVERY NIGHT even during my exams period, and, I sacrificed my mugging time just to listen to you, my friend, pouring your problems to me and I was hoping that I can be of some help, I've never grumbled at all, yet all these were not even appreciated! Ask yourself truly right from the bottom of your heart, when you called me, just ponder, how many times in the conversation have you ever asked or concerned about my own problems? Did you ask me am I also facing any kind of problems? NO! Only I have to tell you my problems myself. You only cared about yourself, you think you are the only tragic soul living in this cold deserted planet? Please stop complaining. You think you are suffering alot? C'mon! Wake up or slap yourself to senses, you are so damn fortunate yet you did not realise it for most of the times. How many people whom you know, can go to Italy? How many people whom you know, can go to New Zealand at the end of this year? How many people whom you know, can go for holidays in faraway countries just like you do? How many people whom you know, can buy Nike/Adidas soccer boots for more than once a year? SCARCE AMOUNT I shall tell you! You have no freedom? Blame yourself for being such a big liar last time, lying to your parents about so many things, hey, it's just so fair and justified that they control you so much and do not trust you. Cos' you brought all these upon yourself.

And yes, I'm jealous, but how can I not be? Any comments made by me means nothing much to you, I can feel that strongly, so please don't try to deny, it's pretty obvious. Yet any comment made by shan can be so important to you that even when she is angry, you get so worried and upset, and you try all means to apologize or make her feel better, but when I'm angry, do you even care?! You simply don't! Any normal friend will be jealous alright? En passant, I'm not a gay by sayin all these, please don't be so thick-skinned thinking that I'm having a crush on you or what just because I'm jealous okay? I'm jealous as a FRIEND, and even IF I'm a gay, I can find better guys out there. Besides God and your family, shan is your most precious, I understand that point to a full extent. Sometimes, I just do not get it! You really left me with an abundance of question marks!

I agree with you, I wished I hadn't known you, I really question God why He let us meet each other, it's tragic. Things would have gone better for me and you if we hadn't met, isn't it? I know I sounded extremely crude and blunt here, but I just wanna voice my unhappiness once and for all. It's matter of time that you read this, you can hate me all you want or just be extremely angry. My main purpose is also to give you a mirror-like image to reflect yourself, you think what I said was true facts about you? If you are sensible, matured and wise enough, you will agree with it. Or you can also disagree with me, but that will only show how narrow and shallow you are. I've finished my piece, thank you for reading.

What a "friend" I used to have, it truly disappointed me and hurt me deeply. And if you think I have not treated you as a true friend before, you are so wrong. If not, what happened that day, whatever replies you gave me that day would not even bother me at all, and when you called me on the phone just to cure your boredom, I would have hanged up the phone and let you rot. But because I valued you as a true friend of mine, that's why I said many things to you which you think I was bullcrapping, never mind, you got your own theory of logic which I doubt it can be recognized out there. And once again, your last sentence really hurt me alot. Think again, I did not help you at all? Think harder alright. Okay, MAYBE, in your eyes, I only harm you but not help you. Anyway, I'm done.

On Hiatus...

2004-10-16T15:18:00.000+08:00

Yes, I'm on hiatus now, shall be right back after the major O's alright? Cos' I'll be busy cramming for the exams, so sorry for that. Hmm, so stressed up because of the O's, oh well, time to take my stabilising medicine... Cos' you know what? I'm laughing to myself now!
"WHha Hha Hha Hha!!!...Uhh, Doh?!"

2 more Days in Conjunction and Unison...

2004-10-13T14:01:00.000+08:00

Alright, didn't blog for quite sometime, cos' I really have no mood to blog for the past few empty days... Anyway, I'm using this time now to blog when I'm not in school today, cos' my left ear was blocked mysteriously again. I can never concentrate in school with my blocked ear, being deaf ain't fun at all.

Well, it's a miserable amount of just 2 more days to one's goodbyes. It's almost time for Departure, time for take-off, time to let go, time to relinquish, time to bid goodbye, time to part, time for our Last Call in the Terminal, time to Depart to our Final Destination and end our chapters of life in Here. We've all come so far, it's the final judgement for all of us, parting is inevitable. 2 more days to spend time in the humble classroom of ours, 2 more days to laugh and joke together, 2 more days to observe each other once more.

After that fateful day, all will come to an end, Gates closed, never will we have any more opportunities to arrive and land onto this Terminal in the same flight and have lessons as usual. Teachers will stop scolding or nagging at us, they will start to keep our memories of them rooted into our minds, be it good or bad memories, we all have matured out of all these.

Friends whom I'd came across during this voyage of 4 years, all things have changed drastically. Drifted far apart with some, yet gelled close together with some. I just wanna say, no matter how cold we treated each other, you are still my Friend, my friend who gave me wonderful and unforgettable times during my early years in this voyage. I know, up till now, we treated each other like strangers, yet we could sense each other's presence and avoid each other. I really do not know how to talk to you again or how to talk to you as though we were so close last time. Because it's just so different now, there is no more bond between us anymore, perhaps, things may just remain like this forever. I do not blame you anymore, but I hope that someday, you will read this and ponder about it. May you continue to serve the Lord with all your heart and God Bless.

Routes to different future, for me, I know God had it all planned up for me. I just hope that CI is not the place God had for me. Having heard from actual conversations from CI students, the attitude of the people there are really incompetent.
"Well, the history exam today was fine, just that during the midst of the exam, everyone were like looking out to the window, watching the beautiful scenery."

I was amazed, how ill-rotten can the people there be? Well, if the masses are going for CI for the first 3 months, I might consider, but that's only when worse comes to worst.

Goodbye Hillgrove! Hope the pioneer flight that we are taking to depart will be a smooth one! Glad to be on-board! God Bless.

Doctrine of Hope

2004-10-07T22:36:00.000+08:00

Okay, don't ask me why or how I developed this short doctrine cos' I have no explanation for myself as well, some how, I got myself indoctrinated with the Doctrine of Hope ( I came out with it myself ). For a moment of enlightenment, I began to develop this Doctrine of Hope in me, why should I ill-treat myself with all the anger and frustration? Being optimistic is really a good way of doing self-cultivation. Life is full of hope, and I have tonnes of things to be concerned about, being too self-conscious about unecessary remarks from other people or whatsoever, ain't gonna be the essence of the life that I'm gonna have.

I'm gonna be as nice and gratifying as possible, treating everyone with the best attitude, guess this is really when I've began to broaden my heart and thoughts. Anyway, as usual, God has it all planned. I don't wanna be so narrow-minded anymore, giving is a blessing. Forgiving and forgetting is glorifying, I just wanna live on with a blissful day of glee, forget about the past and live on for the better, Here is my Doctrine of Hope in essence. Goodbye.

Frustrations and Resentments

2004-10-06T20:57:00.000+08:00

My life is so SCREWED up again, this will take me forever in order to search for the lost heads, bolts and screws. Okay, I'm a jerk in some people's eyes, that's what I think, don't say you didn't say that or what so ever, cos' that's just what I think! Say all you want, say I'm crude, say I'm rude, say I'm uncivilised, say I'm heartless, say I'm uncaring, say I'm inconsiderate, say I'm making assumptions all the time, say I'm a spendthrift, say I'm always there to criticise or insult people in an indirect way, NO ONE IS PERFECT!! Alright! I'm having a BIG FAT MASSIVE attitude? Look who's talking! Yes, I'm also a downright bum who is owing people with debts of sums and MORE sums of money that are not returned yet, I apologize for that, next time, in the coming times, please try your best not to offer me salvation by lending me money cos' I'm really seriously slow in repaying them back, provided that many people cannot wait for so long. So sorry for the inconvenience caused, I know it sounded cliche, but that's all I can think of from the shallow mind of mine! I'm TIRED of all these! REALLY, I've had ENOUGH of all these crumbles and cheezels that are affecting my life BADLY! Nothin is going right nor smooth for me, why people love to misunderstand each other? Can't we just live in peace? I apologize if I, in any way or some how, offended YOU, or making you think that I said crude things to insult you but in actual fact, I had no intention of doing that, cos' you know what? You are just as hyper-senstitive as me! So just admit it! Stop making me sound as if I'm a meanie'ol who goes around destroying people's lives. Thank you for everything, those were the times, when you were nice to me, but no thanks for the ill attitude you enjoyed givin me as well, when I said "Idiot", it does not necessarily refers to you! Its just an informal cliche for me! I may sound crude but that word really was not referring to you, ask God if you can, I'm not lying. By the way, scolding people "Idiot" isn't my forte, and you know it!

Anyway, this chunk of words aren't meant for just one person, it's for SEVERAL people out there, so if the words fit you, it does not necessarily have to be just you alone cos' I said all these in general, okay? So don't misunderstand me again! Seriously speaking, I'm NOT picking on ANYONE in particular okay? Thanks for considering this point.

Results for the prelims are simply just too "illustrious" for me to ACCEPT! What the heck?! I'm really a goner, a sad case and example for everyone to witness. 'O' Levels shall be the REAL deal! People, just prepare yourself with all the surprises that you're gonna get! Anyway, I won't topple and collapse so easily, what's LIFE without all these challenges and downfalls anyway? I will show you the genuine and real deal about me somehow! Goodbye.

Pursuing my passion

2004-10-05T23:41:00.000+08:00

Well, I admit that I really have a very strong passion for Traveling and this will be the only desirable task that I MUST accomplish in my life, in the years to come, I'm aiming to travel to places like Japan, Egypt, Jerusalem, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the Maldives. Another additional thing I want to fulfil in my life, is to watch the spectacular natural phenomenon, the Aurora Borealis, and I'm going to Norway to experience it! Cos' it's often said that areas like Norway, Sweden and Alaska, the Northern Hemisphere, Auroras are commonly seen in these areas.

Norway attracted me the most because of the Midnight Sun. It is really interesting and it's something we can NEVER experience in Singapore, imagine, for almost throughout the WHOLE day, it's DAY! The sun never sets! Even when it sets, there will only be a few hours of about 2 to 4 hours of night time. I was attracted to Japan's high standard of living and rich culture, the people there are really gracious and civilised, if you compare them to Singaporeans. Despite the being a high-technologically inclined country, Japan has also amazingly maintained lots of traditional and cultural values as well. The mysterious Egypt has always lead me into many question marks and queries about the pyramids, mummies, and pharoahs. I was extremely stunned and astonished by the magnificent structure of the temples and palaces, Egyptians are truly intelligent beings and I respected them for that.

For me, I wanna go to Jerusalem because of my own religious interests, of course, it's not a pilgrimage or what so ever, it's optional. Just that, I really want to bring myself there to see the Holy City and go to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. However, I guess going there may be a difficult task to accomplish cos' of the unrest and chaos in Israel and Palestine, Jerusalem is not considered a 100% safe place to go during the times ahead, because these conflicts and unrests in Israel somehow will not end that soon, or may not even end.

Well, I can't possibly describe about ALL the countries that I planned to go, of course, I have to be financially prepared and stable for fulfilling my passion for Traveling, this is when I shall truly appreciate and experience Life. Really hope that at least, in this life journey of mine, I will be able to travel to Norway and Japan and able to witness the phenomenon Aurora Borealis. Anyway, thanks for reading, because today's entry was kinda weird, cos' it solely talks about countries and MORE countries, may seems kinda dull, but it's just what I wanna say, and I will make sure I cling on to my passion for Traveling and being able to accomplish all these 'tasks', I shall die without any regrets. Goodbye.

Memoirs of Ming...

2004-10-03T19:39:00.000+08:00

Personal recollections made its way and settled down into the vast yet empty shell of mine. They are real and non-fictitious, yet some were so unreal that I'm still unable to recuperate from the pain and misery. Losing these individuals of courage and perserverance, it made me felt a sudden emptiness in me, I was in a perplexed and dumbfounded state. I felt like an empty vessel because it was all too much for me to take. WHY? It was simply too much for me to swallow, too much for a simple one day, too much for a 15 year old adolescent to handle, God came into my life since then. I was saved, through His Grace and Glory. This marks a new genesis and a fresh new beginning in the enduring voyage called LIFE.

Coming back to the here and now, year 2004, the era where terrorism, disasters and epidemic reign. To an Ordinary graduating student taking his major 'O - Ordinary' Level examinations this year, leaving this school is a joy and relief yet at the same time, sorrowful. Many of us can't bear to leave but we do not have a choice, we have to leave for good, staying put in the school is a clear and obvious NO. Mixed emotions started rushing up, feelings of regret and desolation filled the atmosphere. From then on, every part of the day spent in the school seemed so important and limited. Very soon, in the coming times, we will all go into our separate ways and no one knows for sure where will we land ourselves in. Life is so unpredictable and dubious, treasure the times we still have in this school, with the mass of people around us, as well as, the ones whom we love.

I guess this is just a very brief account of the Memoirs of Ming, let's all hope and pray for the better times ahead, someday, Peace of goodwill shall triumph and Chaos of catastrophe shall be eliminated for eternity... Goodbye.

Guilt and Mischieve...

2004-10-02T23:36:00.000+08:00

The iniquity of my sins suffused me, my Lord, please forgive me for the shame and dishonour that I've brought to You. I was going overboard during this afternoon and God knows it all, I misbehaved in the eyes of the Lord. I want to confess my sins here and seek for forgiveness and do some self-reproaching. I double-crossed at some people today and trifled with their feelings, it's actually very humiliating to them. I executed these acts and fell short in the presence of the Lord. I felt extremely guilty and foolish for executing those acts. A Sinner whom I am, did not glorify the Creator, His glorious and triumphant light will outshine me and reflect on all my transgressions, Praise the Lord! Amen.

How much of a GEEK are you?

2004-10-01T16:05:00.000+08:00

Well, according to this online quiz, I'm rated 13% geek, so there are still some 'geek' attributes in me! I wonder who will be rated 0% geek in them, that's beyond the bounds of possibility. All of us are geeky in a way or another. Anyway, here goes the analysis report:

"OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae."

Hmm, it's a pretty interesting quiz, go amuse yourself with how much you are rated as a geek! There's no harm trying anyway.

I can't wait...

2004-09-30T19:32:00.000+08:00

Though I can't bear to leave this school yet at times, I really can't wait to leave this school for GOOD! I know it's ironic but it's just me and JUST ME! Try to define someone like me, I'm just a normal human being with flesh and blood. There ain't anything remarkable or notable about me anyway. Here goes:

Japanese Version:
Shoudou ga kasanariatte degechi no nai meiro ni hamaru fui ni osou genjitsu-tachi ga nukedaseru michi wo sagasu.
Na no ni naze fushigi na kuraikono basho wo hanarerarenai.

English Version:
Seized with several impulses, I'm lost in a maze with no exit.
The sense of reality urges me suddenly to find the way out.
But why can't I leave this place, so strangely?

That's basically how I feel about the issue, hypocrites in the school, there are a plentiful and pathetic lot of people who are really selfish, crude and of course, hypocritical! Many of them are just double-dealing people, you gotta deal with their double-sided portraits all the time, it's really getting on my nerves. In times of celebrations and glory, you'll see an abundance of living souls who wanna get into the limelight and they will be so amicable towards you, trying to dig for 'treasures' from that precious body of yours. It's not as if I'm a walking paragon right?

In times of crisis, guess you'll only see a speck of living souls around you, as if the world had some kind of apocalypse that everyone around you were all gone with the wind. Why? Cos' you are just a worthless scum who do not deserves better treatment when you needed help. Get a life, quit being such ungrateful and incompetent souls alright? You are better off as a humble and honest individual.

Well, this place of memories had left me with joys, exasperations and sorrows. Yeah, I will leave this place soon and I can't wait, cos' those memories will be rooted into my head for life, regardless how good or bad they are, I just wanna remind myself of the life I had been going through in that very special yet insignificant place. Of course, am not gonna bear anymore grudges, let bygones be gone, definitely will have a fresh new start in the coming times. Goodbye.

Era...Epoch...Period...Span...Term

2004-09-28T20:35:00.000+08:00

Tragic... Sorrows... Regrets... Unspoken emotions... There are simply just too much of self- reproaching to be done. What is going on? I feel so lethargic and fatigued. Yes, we all have a common and equal yet insufficient time of 24 hours to spend everyday, time management? Let time manage us? Or we manage time? A simple word TIME with just one syallable and four alphabets can actually mean so much to all of us, we can't survive without time. Even if there are no more clocks or any devices used to track time, that does not mean we can just live without spending a time of 24 hours a day! I know this may sound very inlogical or ironic to some or it simply does not make sense at all. But time will always be there forever, unless this world stops turning.

Give thanks to the One who created us, Miracles are wonders and phenomenons carefully planned up by God, choose to believe in them because it's a priceless gift that no money can buy, that no history artefacts can ever replace, that no great and mighty political leaders can ever reign... It occurs everyday, in different corners of the world, what we see around us can be miracles of different scales, small or big, minor or major, does it matter? A miracle can happen even when you see a flower blooming out of nowhere, don't always take for granted that miracles can only happen to people of high status or in 'holy' places, it can even happen now, right at your doorstep! Believe in them, and they will come to you someday...

Appreciate Life...

2004-09-27T22:01:00.000+08:00

Many times in life, we strayed, we complained, we demanded, we criticised, we became egocentric, ALL of us had executed these gestures before. We are never like the cat that swallowed the cream, instead, we are always demanding for more and becoming complacent in our life. Have we ever took a breather and pondered about the World that we are living in now is a cheap imitation of the truth?

Many of us pursue materialistic and unrealistic dreams, in this world, nothing is going to last forever, let's be more practical and matured in what we want in life. Honour ourselves and glorify the One whose glory never ends, let us not be a boor but a refined being with civilised thoughts and gestures, stop being so crude to each other. If only everyone is like the friendly wind which swept the boat to the shore, who bothers about having conflicts anyway?

It is our gluttony which condemned ourselves to plagues and pestilence, perhaps this is a punishment for us as our ancestors Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord and followed the Serpent blindly. All these are largely due to greed and edacity. All of us are born into this world just like Adam and Eve, but many still turned away from God and followed the condemned devil to the eternal path towards hell. The devil cheated on us, played on us, mocked at us. Yet we, as the intelligent ruling creature of the planet, homo-sapiens, do not have the slightest idea of the kind of mockery we landed ourselves in. Look at us, we will all go towards the road of destruction, if we do not wake ourselves out of sloth.

Well, I wrote all these because suddenly, these thoughts came into my frivolous mind. And I had the adrenaline to simply just list all of them out regarding how I feel about the typicality of mankind. You may not agree with me, but we all do not know who will have the last laugh eventually because life is just too unpredictable. I meant no offence to anyone or any creature, I said all these from the bottom of my heart and I meant well.
Peace to all, Goodbye.

Made Peace...

2004-09-26T22:11:00.000+08:00

G'day! Well, guessed I made peace with my sis, FINALLY! She started to talk to me more, and I started to talk to her more as well. After having lunch with my family, she said she will be inviting about 20 people to our house for a party!! Those are people from her University, and she gotta prepare food for them, I helped her out for the WHOLE afternoon! It was tiring and reminds me of the type of tiredness I get from my F&N 'O' Level Practical Exams which was held just not long ago. Suddenly, these bonded us a lot. We forgot about those quarrels we had, thank God we reconciled!

Because of forking out the time for the whole afternoon helping her, I ended myself with endless homework undone, I think I'm gonna have a very hard time finishing them up. Guess my blog entry will be exceptionally short today, so please bear with me alright?

I have no idea why, but today seems to be a very well-accomplished day although I have not even complete all my homework. But I just had this very strong feeling about it. It's like, I've never felt so energetic before as compared to other days when I feel tired very easily all the time. This is like my first time that I did not fall asleep and drop myself into a deep nap for today! Cos' almost everyday, I have to sleep for 2 times, afternoon and night. Just hope that this continues all the time, cos' it gives me the adrenaline rush. Thank you Lord for giving me strength and energy!

Time for some rest now, Goodbye!

Lantern Festival

2004-09-26T01:32:00.000+08:00

Saturday, 25 September 2004

Well, this is an entry for SATURDAY, NOT SUNDAY. Cos' I reached home after 12 midnight, that explains why. Well, had some fun with my cousins today for some Lantern Festival Celebration over at Tanglin area (Where I used to stay at). Played with candles and stuff, some Caucasian kids who were playing there were amazed by the "stunning" amount of candles that we lighted up. I was amazed by them too, as Europeans, they could even speak Singlish! They could say words like "Lah" and "Aiyah", and they sounded just like locals. It's kinda rare to find "Whites" playing around with candles during Lantern Festivals.

I guess things are getting better for me and my sis, seems like we aren't that hostile to each other anymore. But I admit that I was still kinda "cold" towards her in the earlier part of the day. I didn't want to, I felt bad as well, but I couldn't control it either. Anyway, just hope God will help me in these.

Oversleeping on weekend mornings is definitely my forte, be it tuition, or any other events for the weekend mornings, I tend to oversleep ALMOST EVERYTIME. Nothing can ever wake me up besides my mum. Alarm clocks, be it traditional ones or digital ones, those noise pollution from the alarm clocks will never affect me. Handphone alarm clocks are more than redundant, they practically have no impact in waking me up AT ALL! I sleep like a dead corpse or at times, worse than that! Only my mum can wake me up, but she failed many times, cos' I will still be back to square one even after she wailed and bawled at me. That explains why I will be the first possible deceased victim in a case of a Fire, cos' I might not even realise I'm being burnt and brought up to Heaven. Logically speaking, I overslept again for today, and missed the photo taking session for my CCA in school. I'm just too used to oversleeping that it became a filthy habit of mine.

Of course, I crammed quite abit for today, it was all on Physics. Did a couple of Ten Year Series questions and did not fare well. But I will keep trying! It shall be the same for tomorrow, I have to give myself a well-balanced dosage of cramming everyday without fail. *Yawn*

I'm getting tired now, will blog again tomorrow, guess I will oversleep again for tomorrow. Anyway, God Bless!

New Background Music

2004-09-25T13:05:00.000+08:00

He is the King of Rock 'N Roll: Elvis Presley, very catchy tune of this remixed version of the song "A Little Less Conversation", this song is found in his compilation album "Elvis 30 #1 Hits" comprising 30 #1 hits from the King of Rock N' Roll. Enjoy!

Artiste: Elvis Presley
Song: A Little Less Conversation (JXL Radio Edit Remix)

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby

Satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
It's a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease
A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby

Satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Come on baby I'm tired of talking
Grab your coat and let's start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

Don't procrastinate, don't articulate
Girl it's getting late, gettin' upset waitin' around

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby

Satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Low Spirits...

It's raining outside as I'm typing this entry, it was a day when I really "woke" up from my own world. I love the weather now, it's truly cooling and I can feel a sense of tranquility as I listen to the dripping water droplets of the pouring rain.

I got back some of the papers of my Prelims, on the surface, I may look as if I don't really give a shoot about my "illustrious" results, but deep inside me, I'm really regretting badly and remorsed. People may find me a NAG when I kept telling them "I will work hard from this day onwards, no more distractions...", I know people were finding it very annoying and they thought I'm not gonna mean what I've said. Well, people out there, this time round, I'm for real, really will give in my best shot for the 'O' Levels. People, look out for a miracle coming. I will prove it. I know I can. People out there who are struggling, don't ever give up! 4E3 can make it, God will bless us but as His children, we should give in ALL we have so that He can shower us back with ALL the blessings He can ever give. I shall endure all the way just for this short period of time and after the O's, enjoyment and fun will look for me automatically.

" Father Lord, I pray to you that you will free me from several temptations that I'm often having which are drifting me away from my studies badly. During this short period of time, please help those who are taking O's this year to really concentrate on their studies now. Give me and everyone around me strength and wisdom to do what is right. Thank you Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen. "

Well, hope everything will turn out smoothly with our own hardwork and of course, God's help. The rain has stopped, I guess it's time for me to stop as well, Goodbye.

Another wasted night...

Yeah, it's just another wasted day/night for me, felt good when dining in Pizza Hut in the afternoon cos' Mrs Tan really dote on our class alot, Thank you Mrs Tan! The pizzas were alright but I wanted Hawaiian Pizza VERY BADLY! And the waitress took a freakin long time to bring our pizzas to our table, and she said "Sorry, we can't serve you Hawaiian cos' we ran out of dough..." OK, fine, OUT OF DOUGH?!?! Woah! Are you kidding me?! I waited for a "decade" for it, and she told me no more dough! Doh~! In the end, we ended up with Chicken Supreme, guess what, I had diarrhoea after eating the pizzas. Just my luck... After the treat in Pizza Hut, we took some class photos there and I was so bored after that. I had nowhere to go! It's still bright daylight at 16 30! I really don't feel like going home so early, what a pathetic state I landed myself in. I went for Plan B, eventually, I still went home! ALONE!

As usual, went home and had a good ol' nap again. I feel so dull today! Watched Singapore Idol RELOADED, it was a great show with very great meaning in it. Rossalina had a really great voice!! Frankly speaking, she can even outshine some of those who were already chosen into the competition, it's really unfair that she did not go in, I think the judges were just biased against one's physical looks and appearance. People like Christopher got in merely because of his looks, I don't think he has a great voice anyway. It's just so unfair. The touching part was really the part on the malay guy who sang Solitaire, I truly admired his courage and attitude towards life, and he really sang the song from the bottom of his heart, that's what I call an Idol! Such a waste that he gave up the opportunity of getting into the competition, but can see he gave it up because of his family, great man of principles! Rocky Wang really got the potential to be a male Soprano, great performance! Thumbs-up for the duet performed by the speaking-defect performers, they are really people whom we should learn from, never give up for your dreams no matter how difficult it is! They really motivated me and captivated my heart.

Another wasted breath, exhale! Goodbye.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you:
Mae - Embers and Envelopes. Enjoy.

Artiste: Mae
Song: Embers and Envelopes

We write to apologize.
We ask to look past life as it goes by.
I know you have sacrificed time,
life, love, time to fly.
Please consider all things right,
forgiveness will be the thing that gets us by.
I know to have something like this
broken is hard to fix.

Embers, we're burning bridges down.
Envelopes stuffed with feelings found.
To write this down as means to reconcile.

We write to patch things up,
maybe not to agree but to proclaim love.
Let's look ahead and then we'll see the one
whose glory never ends.
And based on that we'll see,
there'll be room for change, but gradually.
I know to have something like this
broken is hard to fix.

If all is said and done and over,
if we don't have to, we're not going to.
Make the change, it's worth the try.
What's broken can be fixed tonight.

NO MORE iWebMUSIC!!

No more iWebMusic!!! It sucks! It contains viruses or something like that, people out there, don't use it! If you have it in your blog/webpage, REMOVE it NOW! Cos' it will cause your blog to have tonnes of popups without you knowing. There will not be any music in my blog FOR THE TIME BEING cos I removed the stupid music code by iwebmusic, I will find replacements soon...

Imperial Matters

2004-09-22T19:45:00.000+08:00

Greetings from the Forbidden City! I am the emperor of this little blog nation which I am ruling over, this shall be my very first PROPER entry of the day. Well, my Imperial Preliminary Examination will be over soon, which will end tomorrow. I'm so GLAD!!!! Cos' Mrs Tan will be treating our whole class to Pizza Hut in Jurong Entertainment Centre, guess what, she booked the whole restaurant!! Anyway, we're gonna have a good ol' pizza treat tomorrow. The class photos are out, waiting for our orders for the sizes we want, the photos were truly awesome!! Everyone looked great on the photo and natural too, but the contrasting thing is, if our class photo is compared to other classes, our class is considered to have a really PATHETIC number of 27 students in the class, but a small class is definitely much better than a big class. Prelims will be a failure this time round, but am gonna work really HARD for the coming Royal 'O' Level exams! No more distractions and when I say it, I mean it! The end of Prelims marks the new beginning of the 'O' Levels atmosphere, 4E3 will definitely make it for 'O' Levels this time round! Way to go! Well, will stop for now, this blog will be here for the long run, so keep the population coming in! Ciao!
