give me light!

standby week

2007-10-20T01:19:00.000+08:00

i would be lying if i said this week was slack. oh, and it's our battery's first standby. that explains the many late nights we had preparing stores, and more stores. you may be thinking of sophisticated devices or equipment, but actually what we pack are stuffs like spare tyres, sliding pipes, poles and lots of useless stuffs. that's life in an artillery unit, haha. and i'm seriously enjoying it.

especially outfield exercises. keeps me fit man

but really, life sucks. i've thought of ways to get out of this unit, but more often than not, i'll think of the many consequences of my actions. can i bear to make my team fail just because of my own selfish deeds? perhaps. my days spent in camp aren't productive at all, mostly sitting down at a corner reading my magazines, prefering to keep a distance from my battery-mates. i guess that gave many people the impression that i'm a selfish person, and that i keep to myself. which i think, isn't true.

haha. at least i can still look forward to my friday bookouts!

oh well, i'm becoming more lazy after entering army. weekends are mostly spent chilling out near home. but i'm not complaining am i?? haha. weekends are the best! =p

break

2007-10-07T17:48:00.000+08:00

my blog doesnt seem like my own anymore, i'm getting increasingly lazy as days go by. haha. oh well, life has been pretty slack at camp, been doing lots of 'shitwork' (otherwise known as saigang). but when battery and battalion exercises start, it's going to be hell. maybe outfield will become my second home? yea, i love the outfields

hello to all my friends out there who still visits my rather inactive blog! =)

hello dear

2007-09-03T22:48:00.000+08:00

haha. my cute girl

why? she never fails to make my day.

happy 8th month 2 days ago =)

see you on friday!

weekend guard duty

2007-08-26T11:47:00.000+08:00

weekend guard duty has got to be the most tiring thing you can do in camp (esp khatib camp). it's like a mini route march of 16km over 24hrs. at the end of the day, my legs were hurting like hell, couldn't walk properly till now.

now go away, weekend guard duty.. 2 duties this month's bad enough.

oh well, at least i got to miss AHM and only have to book in tomorrow morning. i shall try my best to stay awake today, don't wanna waste my sunday away. it's hard when i had approx 2hr of sleep last night.

10km run

2007-08-21T21:43:00.000+08:00

i'm pretty tired now, night's off is till 11pm, and soon i've to rush out of home. this exhaustion is mostly due to the 10km run this morning, well, it drained the crap out of me.. life in an artillery unit is never easy, though it's kinda slack now with our trade course just ending, the thought of going outfield another 8 times this year puts me off. seriously. it's no joke.

only looking forward to life after the NZ trip. but no matter how sickeningly tiring and mentally draining the next 5 months will be, i'll perserve on (although i still have that lingering thought of sustaining an injuring and get the hell out of 23SA).

life, can't get any better. meagre pay, f***ing irritating bunkmates (yes, some of them have such revolting characters, it pisses me off all the time), never ending shitwork to do.

that makes me really miss school life in the past. sigh

friday again!

2007-07-28T13:53:00.000+08:00

yesterday we had helluva circuit training. so tiring after bookout, went out for dinner, then dived onto my bed shortly after reaching home.

yay. and i've breached the 60kg mark, which means that army does make people grow fat! regardless of the growing muscle mass, or the bulging tummy that made me heavier, i've to thank the army =s

3 more weeks before my trade course ends, and hopefully the days will get better. but apparently, from what i heard- it wont be the case. with exercises after exercise. okay, maybe i should pray for time to pass more quickly. fast forward to the days after the new zealand exercise... then life will definitely be slacker!

oh and august is almost here, a very important day is coming!

muffins

2007-07-21T16:03:00.000+08:00

don't you feel happy when u wake up, the aroma from fresh warm muffins arousing your senses? ahh.

thank you, and for the really really nice bag too :)

i/c

2007-07-13T20:33:00.000+08:00

it's been a very stressful day on my bookout day today. i was appointed i/c for the battery, and as expected, i screwed up. it was also the day i shouted the most, i think i shouted the words "fall in" almost a hundred times. but yea, that's life as an i/c. like what people say, you can run but you can't hide.

nevertheless, i'm safe at home already. away from the regimentation, away from the dilapidated bunk, away from the constant terror from the commanders. i've got only myself to blame though.

my gunner course aint tough, mostly it's just sitting down waiting for something to happen. but in the course of waiting, we'll be perspiring in our long 4, dozing off. i cant wait for this course to end!

ohhh and what does bookout day mean? it means that i'll be free for 2 days! every bookout day is the same, but somehow, there's always this minute difference in every bookout. this time, it's good food waiting for me! yay. i'm gonna make my little girl fatter! jk. just thought you should let your hair down and have a feast after your last day of work. hehe =)

harrassment

2007-07-07T19:47:00.000+08:00

this week was rather slack. with many lessons in the aircon room. but next week won't be as easy, training schedule looks to me to be very packed, and with 2 night trainings. okay, artillery isn't as tough as the other combat vocations, primarily because it's only combat support. but crap, whenever i see alfred and co prancing around with their smart4, i feel so down. they get to study all day long in the aircon room, while most of the time, we'll be slugging it out under the sun. how i wish i could be like them.

anyway, yesterday i was kinda harrassed by 2 of my battery-mates (battery=platoon). then there was another guy came to irritated the hell out of me, scolded me with hokkien vulgarities (btw, he has a screwed up face). but i beared with it all, booking out was all that's important.

oh, and last sunday was our 6th month anniversary! half a year's gone already, but nothing has changed. maybe besides the fact that i'm free only in the weekends. one of life's many challenges is the ability to compromise and adapt to changes. nevertheless, i'm proud to say.. that it has been a great half a year!

xiuyi's my little angel =)

23SA

2007-06-30T15:21:00.000+08:00

i'm so very unlucky. posted to a mono-intake unit, which seriously sucks because i'm 1 of the only 6 jc guys posted there.

no longer am i in my own comfort zone. the people there are rowdy, uncouth, and somewhat childish. i hate it, i hate that place. but it's really an eyeopener, i realised not everyone's like me. not everyone's like the people at BMTC. i know i can survive there, but it's going to be hard.

try, when almost half of the people there smokes, and talks about going geylang all the time. shit man

posted out

2007-06-22T18:35:00.000+08:00

no command school for me, and i still have no idea whether it's a good thing or not. while i see the others posted to SISPEC and OCS, i have that little tingling feeling in my stomach, am i missing out on something or not.

well, only time will tell.

artillery sounds fun eh. arghh

pop!

2007-06-13T22:15:00.000+08:00

POP LOH!

haha. what a great but tiring day! but after 2 months, i've finally passed out from BMTC1/Gryphon company! it's been bittersweet. more often than not, the bad times outnumbered the good times. but i'm proud to say that, i've been through all the shit during bmt. seriously, my company doesn't provide as much welfare as compared to other companies. my platoon mates, especially my bunk mates made up for all the hell i've been through. without my bunkmates, bmt life would have been terrible.

my mum and bro came today to witness the passing out parade. with only 2 tickets, who else can come?? but surprise surprise! my little girl came too! she specially took leave and came with a bad headache, i'm so glad to have such a thoughtful girl like her. thanks for coming dear =)

i'll upload some of the pics another time!

passing out soon

2007-06-08T00:52:00.000+08:00

why? bmt is fun? no seriously, if bmt had been fun, then civilian life has to be like a theme park ride. the 8 weeks had been hell, lest the weekends and the early bookouts. If given a choice of having a more spaced-out schedule or super-packed-till-you-can't-breathe schedule but with 3 last weeks of early bookouts, i'll choose the latter. tada, here i am on a thursday/friday midnight blogging. i know you rest NSFs are in-camp now, lol.

we shifted camp recently, from school 1 to rocky hill camp, which required a tonner ride to the ferry terminal (we used to book out by marching, now we take a friggin tonner). it's a real hassle, but rocky hill camp has its benefits too. i now get a fan directly overhead my bed, the showers have doors, and there are 2 toilets per level. how "cool".

i'm glad i'm passing out soon. not that i won't be stepping on this island again, but somehow being able to officially not sleep in tekong again, feels good.

i thought about the many activities and grueling trainings we had over the past few weeks. i was talking to 2 of my cabbing buddies on wednesday night on the cab, discussing about the things we had went through over a short 8 weeks. i've came to realise how much i've been through, the pain, the achings, the sweat, and maybe to a lesser extent, the blood. all these add up to the grand finale-graduation parade next wednesday.

and yes, and i've also done my 24km route march. i remember vividly at the auditorium on the first day about the route march. just the thought of it makes me feel sick, imagine walking from my home to changi airport (takes slightly less than 24km).. but i did it, overcoming all the giddiness, the pain, and the pure fatigue. it's a feat. for me that is.

i won't give up till the moment my knee buckles.

army is useless, teaching you alot of redundant stuffs. but there are some things which i learn in army that are particularly useful. i learn to never give up. i've seen cases where my platoon mate dragged himself during the 16km route march, only to fall out 500m from the end point. he was evacuated to CGH for near-heatstroke. life is fragile, espeically when you know you can die at any moment.

but i don't only live for myself, i live for my dearest and my family. well, i may seem a little emotional here. not really i guess. army is cruel, army had made me lose my old self. i'm becoming an antisocial bugger, even in-camp, i hardly talk to my platoon mates. they asked me to go out for a drink, lan gaming or whatever, and i'll just politely reject them. not that i'm complaining, but yes you are right, army does change people.

so far, i've seen many people changing for the worse. hopefully, i won't fall into this army trap.

perhaps, a good sleep at home will do the trick! lying on my soft bed, with the aircon blowing. sweeet! now you know why they say "home-sweeeet-home".

lastly, yep! i still love my dear :) she has been the reason why i'm surviving well in army!

2 more weeks to passing out

2007-05-31T22:55:00.000+08:00

time flies. in 2 weeks time i'll be passing out from bmt already. it has been 7 weeks of hectic military lifestyle, filled with PTs, drills, technical handlings, etc etc. yes, i still think all these are useless though i did became tanner, but life has been miserable the moment i stepped into BMTC1.

i've to say that it's getting better now since most of the activities have been done. 2 major things left, 24km route march and graduation parade. route march scheduled on june 5th, and GP on 13th June, and then off i go. gone from this god-forsaken island.

lol. actually it isn't that bad. it's just that i want to get out of the terribly warm island, and the hassle of booking out and booking in (taking the shuttle bus and then the ferry). oh and no OCS for me, because i failed SOC, and i sorta just passed IPPT. i've a feeling i may be posted to sispec, but who knows, i may just end up in some shit unit. if that really happens, i'll make sure i down-pes with all the shit injuries i got from the training.

all these things aside, the new month will be here tomorrow! a day to be happy, a day to remember, and a day to wish for the best! fifth month and counting.....

:)

field camp

2007-05-12T16:33:00.000+08:00

i'm back again after 10 days in tekong! 6/10 days were spent in tekong forest for field camp. call me weak or lousy or whatever, but i totally hate outfield. not showering for 5 days, pee-ing in the bushes, digging the hole to shit is no joke alright(okay, i didnt shit at all. i was too grossed out). plus it's pitch dark after 730pm, and we had to be 'tactical', which means torch lights aren't really allowed.

army is no shit. the commanders can tekan you like nothing. "down, down, down.." down till my muscles reach breaking point.

in outfield, we have to always keep our bodies low - which means either to prone or to kneel/squat. proning sucks, cos many a time, you come face to face with ants' nest or some never-seen-before creepy crawlies. ants are the worst seriously, when you're so close to them, you can even hear them moving about, rubbing their puny red shells against the dried leaves. they bite you in the legs and arms at night, and there's nothing you can do. i hate insects, so i never, in my 5.5days field camp, enjoyed myself at all. worst experience i had in my entire lifetime.

nevertheless, i managed to pull through this ordeal. if i'm not wrong, on the 4th day, i nearly fall out of camp due to an extremely bad rash on my arms. it may seemed stupid, but i actually wanted to complete field camp no matter how horrible it was due to some magical motivations. i'm glad i did. well, this is only the beginning of army life. sighh..

on a lighter note, i've received a letter from ntu saying i've been accepted into civil engineering! it's quite a surprise, considering my grades were really rock bottom. one of my bunkmates said that even with my grades i can even get a place in ntu, so why should he study in the first place. well, i've gotten used to such derogatory statements already, so yup, like what many people say, take things with a pinch of salt.

for now, i'm still waiting to see if nus accepts me in any of the courses. cos in my humble opinion, i'd prefer the courses i chose in nus. ntu engin.. well... i've really got to ponder over it.

and lastly, book out time is really meant for chilling out! i haven seen xiuyi for a long 10 days, i wonder how she's doing now. hahha. i'm sure she's doing fine and as strong as ever! =)

2 weeks confined

2007-04-28T14:27:00.000+08:00

the first 2 weeks were really long. the days are long, we wake at 5am, and sleep at only 1030pm. spending 2 weekends in camp doesn't help at all, you miss everything outside tekong. so you can imagine the excitement and joy on first bookout!

but seriously, i do not like army life at all. marching is a pain in the ass, and the physical trainings aren't easy at all. the toughest of all was the extremely hot sun, scorching hot. now i know what that really means, the sun burns through your uniform and skin. everyone ended up sweaty smelly and dirty. that reminds me, i'm not really looking forward to field camp next friday.

booking in only on tues evening, which means 4 days of freedom. precious freedom.

farewell

2007-04-13T06:36:00.000+08:00

goodbye everyone. my family, friends, and especially my dearest..

2 weeks will pass fast enough!

:)

second last day

2007-04-11T21:49:00.000+08:00

my second last dinner before i lose my freedom. how sad.

and sihui pangseh today. lol. jing tat went crazy because he's going ndu, anitha and yawen were normal. im not sure why anitha likes indian maids though, she kept saying her maid is too black for her. i guess she likes the word "black". if pretty is to anitha, then black is to anitha's maid. yawen hasnt really grown taller too. edwyn, well, his hair is growing. damn, and he was wearing jeans.

i have to shave on friday. there goes my long hair =(

okay i'll have a farewell entry tmr

2 days to end of work

2007-03-28T19:58:00.000+08:00

as the last day of work draws near, the excitement starts to dwindle. gone is the time where i looked forward to life as an unemployed. i'm not looking forward to the once-hyped army life. seriously, it's wtfing sian. you dream of it all night, think of it when u go to work, and after work, you think of how's life gonna suck in camp.

i know some aspire to be gungho soldiers, but nah, i just want to get on with life

1yr10 months is not really a short time. one of my colleagues was telling me that time crawled during the 2 years. oh well.

and i've got insider information that i'm gonna get sabo-ed on my last day of work. i may end up getting a half day on my last day to escape. dammit

birthday

2007-03-24T20:08:00.000+08:00

thanks for your surprise, dear :) hmm, i may looked rather sad today, i guess it's cos i'm tiredd. but really, you are the best!

and thanks for everyone who came today, jingtat, karwai, ziyan, sihui, yawen and edwyn. thanks for the present!

thanks for making me waste my cake too. haha

xiuyi send me the pics so i can upload!

work ending

2007-03-21T22:12:00.000+08:00

my last day of work's next friday! then after that i'd have exactly 2 weeks to do whatever i like.

well, people always say time flies when you're enjoying yourself. but it's an irony. you want to enjoy yourself, yet hope time doesnt pass that fast. as the seconds tick by, you realise that d-day will draw even nearer.

haha. tekong. oh man...

not much time

2007-03-19T21:29:00.000+08:00

updates are hard to come by now isn't it? sometimes u get so caught up with things, you forget that you even have a blog. it just goes to show how important a blog is, it's turning from a diary to a pain in the ass. lol. just kidding.

talking about ass. one of my supervisors said i spouted vulgarities.

colleague: you made so many calls today!
me:my ass
supervisor: eh justin, why you use vulgarities
me: -_-

this is really queer. i never thought the word "ass" is vulgar, i guess it's more crude than vulgar. okay yea, you may say newspapers and magazines do censor off the double s, like a**, but you still get the meaning right. it's like ass and a**? okay nvm, i'm just trying to make a point. but point is, this supervisor got me really irritated today. i was made to do filing, shifting files from the top of the cupboard to the ground and sort them alphabetically. that sorta spoilt my work day today. talk about monday blues.. lol

while on the bus home today, i peered out of the window. with the cars whizzing pass, i start to realise how little time i have left. for once, i stayed awake throughout the entire bus ride.

free-dom

a level results

2007-03-07T00:52:00.000+08:00

you've to learn to accept failures, just like how you've to learn to accept your results.

i like to thank my friends who've encouraged me since i've got my results back. they've made me realise that it's not the end of the world even with such poor results. although i feel that my results aren't that justifiable, there's really nothing i can do to change the fact. those who worked hard and got their As and Bs, congrats, you all deserve it. while for the forgotten ones (ppl like me), well. life still has to go on. i just have to lower my expectations, maybe a continental car in my late 40s instead of 30s? a smaller house? i guess i've been having too many wild ambitions and thoughts, it's better to have both feet on the ground rather than one feet on the ground and the other on water.

last but not least.. thank you for staying by my side still, though i've been moody these couple of days, i'm glad you never left me and was always physically or emotionally beside me. this, to me, is priceless =)

happy belated vday

2007-02-17T23:32:00.000+08:00

happy belated valentine's day! this would be a day i'll never forget. thank you xiuyi :)

happy chinese new year to everyone!

ntu fair

2007-02-11T17:26:00.000+08:00

looks like i haven been blogging for quite some time already. have been busy these few days!

been going out and playing WoW, haha. thanks for buying me the game =)

first things first, i think work is going to be worse from tomorrow onwards. 2 of the temp staffs are leaving, that means i'll be the only temp staff left in the department! the worse thing is that, it's those 2 who i mostly talk to. sigh, lunch breaks will be more awkward and quiet from now on. the reason why they had to leave is cos the company hired 2 new perm staffs. well, i've got to say the new staffs are really quite slow when it comes to learning. maybe im racist, but they've really got to buck up, otherwise my workload is just gonna increase.

work aside, vday's coming next week! but then ironically, im gonna spend vday alone at home. nevertheless, it's a blessing in disguise i guess. you get to avoid the lovey-dovey couples all around singapore. not that i don't like that, but i think vday's just an overly-commercialised day. if you read the sunday times today, you'll see an article on hotel vday packages. $6888 presidential suite?! you can just hear the hotel managers laughing to the banks. but it's quite sweet i guess, if i've the money that is. nvm. why spend 1 vday, when u can treat everyday like vday! :)

okay, then there's results day coming. it's gonna be dreadful, but all our fates have been sealed, so what more can we say. just pray for the best! no matter what my results are, i know i did the best i could in the short studying period. blame my care-less attitude in j1. i just hope i dont get a C. Bs and maybe 1 A would be good enough..

finally, CNY. time to get fat- both financially and physically. my dad made some pineapple tarts a few days ago, and hence i'm already in the festive mood. saviouring the sweetness of the tarts in your mouth. yum!

cheers! to an eventful coming week!

busy week

2007-02-03T13:55:00.000+08:00

it's been a busy and tiring week. there was a day where i slept 4 hours only, and there was work the next day.

but at the end of the day, seeing the smile on her face just makes it all worthwhile

tired

2007-01-28T22:12:00.000+08:00

i'm tiredd.

i even fell asleep watching my favourite discovery channel. sighh

jing tat's house

2007-01-27T23:06:00.000+08:00

JING TAT IS THE GREATEST LIAR OF ALL TIME. he tricked every single one of us dammit. u watch out man jt, i'm gonna kill you the next time i see you again.

anyway, jt was so nice to invite us to his house today for dinner. lol. so the few of us guys, me sihui edwyn karwai happily took a bus down from town. free dinner, and to see old friends again, the temptations were just too great to resist! it was another great surprise to find shengyu and jt's bro already warming their butts on his beds. alright, that sets the mood for the night - a guys' night out, albeit a night out indoors. it was all laughter, and sihui edwyn's usual fun NS discussions. oh and not to forget, karwai's experiences as a fireman-to-be. karwai looks better without hair though, that one im sure.

the dinner was not bad, curry chicken, prawns, mussels, chicken fillet. i had 2 bowls of rice, 'nuff said.

soon enough, after having much fun in the room, the rest decided to catch the movie-of-the-year "kungfu mahjong"! -_-

seriously. o m g. i hope they had a fun time watching the show. im sure you all realised i didn't go watch with them. i just wanna go home to chill.

i wish i haven bought so many snacks and sweets during work.. sighh....

2nd week of work

2007-01-26T21:22:00.000+08:00

it's been 2 weeks since i first started work. well i've to say that working has really become more like a habit. you wake up at 730am, leave home at 830 and reach workplace at 930am. you make the few calls in the morn all the way to 1230pm, 1 hour of lunch break, followed by more calls. on days where there are few calls, you are made to do brainless filing work. woohoo. and you get paid to do brainless work. routines, routines and more routines.

my colleagues are not too bad. there's one guy in the same dept who always have sth to say, that makes it less quiet and awkward. well, it's of little surprise that me and the other new temp are the youngest amongst all the other employees. and as temps, ppl from the other dept hardly come to disturb you. you are kinda like a nobody, but then afterall, you're still a temp staff.

i've grown to like my seat more, although it's really right in front. makes me feel a little uncomfortable when i sms or just slack around. in addition, my computer has no internet access, how cool is that. so all i can do to waste time is either to stone, or to play around with driver's contacts. see how they look like, whether they are married and stuffs. my job, seriously, aint challenging at all. i need to give my brain a good workout or im sure i wouldnt even be able to computer 1+1 = 2. oh and not to forget, i think i've spoken more chinese than the 2 yrs i spent in NJ. well, my spoken chinese just suck, but im glad the cabbies could comprehend my stuttering mandarin. some of them speaks to me in hokkien, and i'll reply either in chinese or english. im just afraid to speak my dialect, although im sure im capable of speaking some basic hokkien. lol.

but past the mundane worklife, more often than not, the only reprieve is the soft and comfy bed awaiting me at home.

and i've to remind myself to tell my supervisor to give me a one week early release. HOPEFULLY, the last friday of march would be my last day of work. 2 weeks of freedom before NS is really, really, precious.. sigh

third day at work

2007-01-17T19:58:00.000+08:00

I no longer feel as bored as on the first day of work. i guess i'm finally getting the hang of my job. doing 40, 50 calls a day is no longer a problem. i can usually finish them all half an hour before work ends! then, i also learnt that my 4 supervisors have very unique personalities, and also in the way they handle problems. the nicest supervisor sits beside me now! haha.

however, my better mood is simply marred by a cab driver today. sorry anitha. but the driver who scolded me today is an indian. HE'S SO FRIGGIN UNREASONABLE. and i cant scold him in return. he said, " FUCK YOU". and before that he spouted many expletives. and for the third time in 3 days, he said at the start, "Don't get me frustrated, justin". obviously, i got rather pissed off by his incessant comments, and merely replied with data from the database. ONE MORE TIME I TELL YOU, MR (LONG NAME), i'm gonna make sure your cab gets repossessed, and your contract TERMINATED.

anyway, i learnt a bit from my job. cab drivers really do not earn much, and i feel for them whenever i remind them of their debts. some of them earn like 50 100 bucks a day only, upon settling their rentals, they would be left with almost nothing. i do pity them, but then again my job is still to get them to pay rentals =s

i'm looking forward to getting my pay soon!

and yay, i can finally eat dinner out tomorrow! =)

new job

2007-01-15T21:02:00.000+08:00

sadly, my job isn't as interesting as i initially thought it would be. it's actually really boring, tedious and tiring. not that i've to exert myself physically though. calling taxi drivers up is hardly an easy job. firstly, i can't just call the number shown on the excel file, i've to check call logs, outstanding payments before i can dial the number. that process kills brain cells, seriously. it's not the simple math involved, it's the constant back-and-forth process of checking details that kills you.

my first day was quite rotten.

and there was this once the supervisor was standing behind me stealthily. yea, as expected, i made a mistake. she sorta questioned me about my mistakes after the call, and rattled on.

was talking to the other new guy, and i supposed he felt the same way too. fire me please, like after one month! nvm. i'll see how it goes..... maybe few days later, it'll turn out fine? lol.

tiredddd

stranger than fiction

2007-01-14T00:29:00.000+08:00

i suddenly remembered that i caught the movie "stranger than fiction" on friday. it seems that it's been so long since i last blogged about a movie that i watched? but that doesn't mean i haven't been watching movies in the theatre. it's just laziness catching up on me.

so stranger than fiction. this movie's ending its run very soon, but the story's really quite interesting and yea, outright fictional. the plot basically is based on the premis of a guy's life (harold) which is being written out by an author, in REAL time. and the author is at the brink of ending his life. irony is that, she's undergoing some sort of writer's block which is preventing her from killing him. so the movie continues on from that.

cool plot huh. but the movie's rather draggy, and sleep-inducing at times. though there were certain funny parts where i laughed my ass out. oh btw, will ferrell's the lead- comedy assured. lol. it's watchable still =)

talking about writer's block, i think i'm guilty myself. i can't seem to be able to churn out an entry of decent length. lack of creativity or just plain laziness, i really have no idea. i just know that i'm gonna start work on monday! fact is, i'm getting quite broke. FOR THE FIRST TIME since a long time, my wallet's running out of reddddddddd notes. ARGH.

new job

2007-01-13T01:24:00.000+08:00

after 1 month plus of waiting and searching for a job, i've finally got one. and it's confirmed! so for the next 3 months =s, i'll be working for SMRT Taxi company as a temp credit control officer. sounds cool eh? hahah. but i have a feeling it's gonna be doing lots of shit work. nvm, at least i've finally found a way to spend my time more fruitfully, instead of stoning at home =)

work starts on monday, and i cant wait for monday! oh and yar, i would have to travel to woodlands EVERY WEEKDAY. 2 hours of travelling time everyday. arghhhh.

coincidence

2007-01-10T00:49:00.000+08:00

i think it's really funny when you consider how coincidental some things can be. like today, on a tuesday night at esplanade rooftop. guess who i saw?? xinlin and kaisiang! but it was nice seeing them also, had a nice chat with the two of them. kaisiang's enlisting real soon (this friday). wish you all the best man! i'm sure it's gonna be fun, just that perhaps, you wont be able to meet up with your old friends as frequently anymore?

xinlin's got a job too. oh well, i think i'm quite unlucky when it comes to job hunting. my latest was some promoter, yea i went for the interview, but haven heard from them ever since. you all are gonna laugh and roll on the floor if you all know what i'm supposed to promote. so to prevent that from happening, i wont reveal it. LOL. apparently, the many job agencies i've been to hates me. the only news from them are usually "NO NEWS". so i guess it's all up to me now. i'm gonna look for jobs in the newspapers! argh. hopefully i won't be lazy this time. sometimes, you cant always depend on others, ultimately you lead your own life.

then again, life's not always unfair. despite the frustrations that arise from being unemployed, happiness is usually just a short walk away, literally =)

i repent

2007-01-06T15:25:00.000+08:00

sihui! i repent. i hope you will have fun in the army, and hope you wont be bitten by mosquitoes. dont mention my name cannnnn??

anyway sorry jing tat. my mind just keeps wandering about. SORRY DUDE. btw, i love swimming

panadol

2007-01-05T14:23:00.000+08:00

a panadol pill, or rather paracetamol is a welcoming relieve to the headache. i had one pill and the headache's gone!

i have tonnes left in the refrigerator.

ahhh like an oasis in the desert..

no more work

2007-01-04T23:10:00.000+08:00

there's only 2 words i can say. screwed up. wasted my friggin time, wasted my 87c x 2 for the bus trip. im pissed but im not showing it.

to make matters worse, i'm falling sick. my world's a whirl, and i feel lighter than usual. fortunately, i can still sleep happy =)

alrights. for a better tomorrow! cheers

irritating router

2007-01-03T22:26:00.000+08:00

my router's sure driving me crazy. it's screwing up. and that's not the way it should be considering it's one of the most common and widely-used model. i couldn't download my files smoothly, my other desktop computer can't connect to the internet. and the wireless network's screwing up! oh man. so much for a brand new year.

well on the brighter side, i've almost got a new job! just gotta sign the contract tmr and everything's settled. alright. jing tat better not pangseh me tmr.

2007

2007-01-01T16:19:00.000+08:00

happy new year everyone! it's 2007. i'm sure it really feels like 2007, and last year was actually just ermm, yesterday?

maybe this is not the time to mourn over the miseries of 2006, but to look ahead, and wish that everything goes well from today onwards.

yup. 2007 will be great year, im sure! =)

my internet

2006-12-29T11:42:00.000+08:00

my internet has been down for 2 days straight already. GREAT STUFF i know. i really have no idea what's happening, others can still surf the net, albeit with a lower speed. i cant even surf anything! no msn, no internet. what the f***!

okay now i've something to confess. yes i'm currently tapping on my neighbour's wireless connection. please don't report me to the police, i just need to escape from my internet-free days. CAN STARHUB PLEASE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I WANT MY FRIGGIN INTERNET BACK.

ARGHHH.

taiwan trip

2006-12-26T23:10:00.000+08:00

alrights, i'm finally in a mood to blog about my holiday! but from experience, i'm not the kind who can conjure up a lengthy essay, so it'll just be a summary! hahah.

first day (19th dec), woke up at damn early at 4plus am to catch the 815am flight to taipei. but then my dad was taking a risk because the flight was overbooked. we only have confirmed tickets on the 20th dec. blame the tour agency and my dad's bad luck in balloting only a 20th dec ticket. FORTUNATELY, we managed to secure our seats! otherwise we can say goodbye to our tour. hahah. after the 4 hour flight, we arrived at taoyuan airport- one of taiwan's 2 international airports (40km from taipei city). we were picked up by a pretty tour guide. then she brought us to some place, i haev no idea what it's called to kill time (the tour supposed to start in the evening. the other group members' flight arrived only in the evening. our SQ flight touched down at around 1pm) crap. lol

it was raelly boring looking at potteries. really really boring. and then the tour guide brought us to another shopping mall. WORSE. the entire mall was devoid of customers, practically a ghost mall. i guess that's a reflection of how boring that shopping mall was. it sells CRAP. rubbish clothes, furnitures blah blah. then finally we were picked up at around 6plus pm and sped to the airport to pick the other members up. alas. the group was about 27 ppl big. and there were quite a few ppl who are around my age, but i hardly talked to any of them. there was this one girl who's studying medicine in NUS. really quite pretty! but i think she's attached already, smart and pretty. this kind of girls quite hard to come by. okay, that's not the point. anyway, we were brought to TAIPEI 101. the TALLEST BUILDING in the world. woot. but it's raelly crap la, you have to pay 17 bucks each to go up. and it was friggin raining. took a few pictures and went window shopping. you know you wont be buying any stuffs when u see brands like LV, chanel, d&g, gucci etc etc. it's like a ngee ann city, with many levels. not my kind of shops.

second day was okay. we went to a place called keelung to look at the marvellous pacific ocean. yes the waves were magnificent, but with the rain battling down on your umbrellas, you know things wont go so well. i saw some group members with your umbrellas wrangled in a wirey mess, several umbrellas flipping upwards. it was like a mini-mini typhoon. lol. interesting shit. the went jiufen, shops and shops. nth much there. then we took a 2hours plus train to hualien. i dont really like taking trains though, it's not like the train is that good. if you want excellent trains, you've to go europe! the trains are super modern and clean and cheap too. you just get a euro pass and u can travel all around europe for a fixed price! damn cool right? so yea, go europe! like switzerland. omg, the most beautiful place i've ever been, only slightly better than the picturesque NEW ZEALAND. shit i went out of point again. lol. at night was some aboriginal cultural performance. my mum was cheated of 20 bucks for buying some photo. it's all bullshit.

third day we visited the taroko national park. the scenery's quite nice, but not spectacular. nz's scenery beats tw's hands down. but it's different la, taiwan's mountains are mainly made of marble. different compositions i think =s took some really nice pics! then next was the crap marble factory. you know these tours always have these factories where the sales ppl will force you to buy their shit. yes this was exactly what happened. i know my mum doesnt want to purchase any, but in the end, their persistence succeeded in persuading my mum in parting with some cash to buy some necklace and rings. bullshit. i know these "attractions" cant be rid off (due to the revenue for tour agencies), but they should be reduced a little. total waste of time. next came the 7 hour bus ride to kaoshiung! omfg, 7 hours including a 1 hour plus mountain route. the bus is a double decker btw, and we all had to sit on the upper deck. it was rocking like a rocking horse, imagine sitting on it for 1 whole hour. i nearly puked due to motion sickness, blame myself for not sleeping.. visited some night markets at kaoshiung at night. nothing much also la. oh just something to complain, i hate the smell of fermented beancurds (chou dou fu). it reeks of shit, literally. SHIT. hahah.

forth day started with a visit to some pavilions. boring stuffs. went through some dragon and tiger tunnels, like those at haw paw villa in sg. the fun part came when we were brought to janfusan (jian fu san) theme park. it was a day of many firsts! i conquered my fear of heights by trying the first roller coaster. it's sorta like a short ride, where u have to take 3 escalators up, and when u reach the ride, you take a peek down and you will be amazed by the wonderful drop. it's like 10 to 20 storey drop downwards. 90 degrees. okay maybe not 90 degs, but 80 plus degrees. it looks friggin intimidating i tell you. and yes i tried it. at the highest point, the coaster had a hang time of about 3secs. and you just hang there, staring at the dark cave many floors below. and whoooosh. it was omfg-scary. the first second was pure adrenalin. rush till when i stepped out, my legs were wobbly and i had a stomachache. the second first was when i went on a "floorless" cockscrew rollercoaster. i haven been on one that goes through those somersaults. i'm sure you know what i mean. it was fun! can feel the g-forces pushing back on you. exhilarting ride i have to say. hahaha. the rest of the rides were just normal, not too bad. after the visit to theme park, we headed for taichung and visited another night market -_-

oh man im getting bored at blogging. and it's not really summarised quite detailed.. sigh. okay fast fast

day 5 was shopping. then went some 6 star spa resort

day 6 back to taipei already. visited the beautiful fisherman's wharf. went ximending which isnt as good as i thought it'll be. singapore's nicer to shop!

day 7 taipei back to singapore. refer to previous entry! hahahha. BUSINESS CLASS. omg. a memorable flight back home.

ALRIGHT, I'LL UPLOAD PICTURES ANOTHER DAY. nice pictures =)

upgraded

2006-12-26T11:27:00.000+08:00

IM BACK!! well this will just be a teaser entry. lazy to blog now. okay, now look at my boarding pass for the flight back home =)

a business class ticket with a 5 course meal. woohoo!

i tell ya, the meal is darn bloody good. although the air stewardess got my main course wrong. i asked for some fish meal prepared by some cool chef in sydney, in the end i got a turkey meal. but it was good. the turkey meat was surprisingly tender! not to forget the log cake. although the portion wasnt large, but it was great! plus the log cake was placed on top of some milky stuff, makes it super delectable. haha. oh they serve lots of alcoholic drinks too, just that i decided not to try any of them, lest i get drunk =s
it feels so good to be called mr soon all the time =)

that's why, it's still worth it to spend xmas on the plane. if you are on singapore airline's BUSINESS class that is. LOL

overloaded plane?

2006-12-19T00:22:00.000+08:00

oh man pray that i can get up the flight tomorrow. my flight ticket isn't confirmed, so there's a chance my family can't board the plane! damn risky sia. anyway, the morning flight's like 11 people in excess?? =s man.

okay cya all soon! after xmas that is....

taiwan hol

2006-12-17T22:31:00.000+08:00

i'll be away to taiwan from 19th to the 25th. not really looking forward to it though. bid all my friends an EARLY goodbye! =)

and my xmas day. ARGH.

mr brightside

2006-12-17T01:25:00.000+08:00

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside

so much for a holiday. sigh..

movie marathon

2006-12-16T14:10:00.000+08:00

it's been quite some time since i last watched two movies in a row, in a cinema that is. and i have to say, it's TIRING. the second movie ended at nearly 3am. by the time it ended, i was already feeling groggy. oh and i watched eragon and the holiday! not too bad la i'll say. although eragon has some really cheesy lines. and the holiday was more of a light-hearted show. quite sweet.

pastamania next time, i promise!

2 hours of tv

2006-12-14T01:00:00.000+08:00

i hardly watch the tv nowadays, so it's kinda interesting to finally sit my ass down in front of my tv to catch some good shit. basically, i spent 1 hour watching national geographic ch, and another hour watching discovery channel!

1st hour was some programme "blueprints for disaster" about the derbyshire, which is a large cargo ship that sank 26 years ago. that ship was really darn big, and it's red.

2nd hour was about the fateful KAL007 that was shot down during cold war. omg, such an insightful documentary. just makes me wonder how much i've been missing from not watching tv.

alright, less computer time, more tv time! that shall be my resolution. i always feel bored sitting in front of my computer anyway =s

goong

2006-12-07T16:46:00.000+08:00

i finally finish watching 24 episodes of goong! what an achievement =) well, the show wasn't as nice as i thought it'd be. lots of boring parts, but the last episode was really sad (some parts). nevertheless, the soundtracks of the show are really nice. i guess that made up for the boring parts of the show. thanks xiuyi for lending me the vcds!

anyway. i have a feeling my body clock's quite screwed. i've been slping at like 3, 4am. and waking up at 12pm? i'm becoming a pig! hahah.

MORE PICS

2006-12-04T23:10:00.000+08:00

okay MORE PICS

prom prelude

2006-12-04T22:43:00.000+08:00

prom was alright. but i really expected more from the food. photo takings was fun too! went around taking pictures with people and i know, and with strangers too! hahaha. okay, some pictures. i'll upload more when i feel like it!

vivocity

2006-11-30T19:44:00.000+08:00

went vivocity this morning! but it isn't as big as i thought it would be. nothing much about it also i guess. just that it has nice scenery outside?

oh, and i know how to pronounce vivocity in chinese!

anyway, it's been super tiring after reaching home. i guess it's cos i woke up early today. imagine travelling all the way to harbourfront. then again, harbourfront, which is synonymous to sentosa, makes me want to go sentosa again! sadly, i don't see any future outings to sentosa. no class outings.

so i spent my afternoon playing fifa 06, which was getting quite boring. as a matter of fact, i have been playing the same game over the past few days just to kill time. occasionally whipping out a few dvds to watch. life has been rather "interesting". makes you wonder, would u rather be busy mugging your guts out over stacks of TYS, or playing fifa 06 everyday. if i have a choice, i would choose something in between. nvm, there's prom to look forward to! not the clothes part. THE FOOD!

it better be good. better be well worth my sixty bucks

spiderman 3 trailer

2006-11-29T23:05:00.000+08:00

you all got to see the spiderman 3 trailer, cos it's so cool!

anyway, i've got all my clothes for prom already. well i really don't intend to erm, dress to kill. so it's just gonna be casual. haha. don't expect me to look like a businessman either, i guess i'll have lots of chance to wear suits in the future. so i prefer not to overdress.

till sunday

for the better

2006-11-27T14:47:00.000+08:00

my brother just left for some ncc camp this morning. i think he's crazy, cos it's a 2 weeks plus residential camp. but perhaps it's a good thing, cos i'll get to have more peace at home. although i'd say that these few days, i hardly argued with my siblings.

anyway, prom's this sunday. and well, everything's not going the way i want it to be. my clothes are quite screwed, despite spending quite a bit. plus an ugly haircut sums up everything! haha. ah, screw prom. i'll just go there for the food

to xy

2006-11-23T00:44:00.000+08:00

THANKS! i'll get you a nice xmas present!

the sims 2

2006-11-22T11:27:00.000+08:00

i've been awaken this morning to the soothing music coming from the sims 2! haha. well, you can't blame me from installing this game yesterday. rather, you should blame the fact that i have so much time to burn.

boredom boredom. i must erase that from my head, and not spend 12 hours a day staring at the computer screen, shifting from one computer to another. lol. suddenly, i feel that time is finally on my side. too much time, in fact.

tired

2006-11-19T23:12:00.000+08:00

i'm really really tired, but i don't want to sleep early lest i screw up my bio clock. 1 whole night of mahjong drains you of ALL your energy. i was watching some programme on ch 16 just now, and i nearly fell aslp watching it.

damn

no more studying

2006-11-18T17:21:00.000+08:00

the moment that everyone has been waiting for is finally here. the end of A Levels! it's a really exhilarating feeling, the thought of not having to flip our trusty notes, or touch a single TYS in the next 2 plus years seem too good to be true. but yes, it's gonna be true. for guys that is.

after chem paper 1 yesterday, the few guys rushed straight to the courts to indulge ourselves in a few good games of basketball. ziyan was the same, always trying to act seh under the hoop. jing tat was a little off-form, he can shoot like a pro sometimes, but other times, the ball simply went under the net. the rest were well, not too bad too.

when i think of jing tat, i suddenly feel like hiding in a box. maybe i can wander around in a box, he'll be happy im sure. sorry, no offence. LOL.

oh, and my computer's finally up and running. i spent the entire night doing all the monotonous updates and installations of drivers. but i guess it's worth it, cause with the upgraded graphics card, i can play better games! =)

man, it's getting really boring. okay, better entries next time

the end is near

2006-11-15T15:11:00.000+08:00

the end is so near, i can almost taste it.

i just know i screwed my future. 'nuff said.

gp

2006-11-02T23:31:00.000+08:00

i cant believe i wrote such a lousy piece of essay today. the WORST ever. and that certainly made my day... =(

phone spoil

2006-10-24T20:46:00.000+08:00

ARGH, my phone's spoilt. i can only view half of my screen now..

farewell assembly pics

2006-10-19T00:06:00.000+08:00

hello mugging

2006-10-18T23:26:00.000+08:00

yay, im so proud of myself. i managed to really sit down and do work! just about a month more, and everything will be over =)

maybe

2006-10-12T23:47:00.000+08:00

20 days sound like a lot of time, but in fact, it isn't. it's even countable using my fingers and toes. yet, i've not making full use of the toe-finger countdown. it's a timebomb ready to explode, or a race to a finish, whatever you would like alevels to be, IT'S COMING.

i still want my 3 As, but i'm not really sure myself if that's possible. i was trying out a few chemistry mcqs just now, and the results was appalling. anyway, it's useless to be talking about all these stuff now. right now, we should be pulling up our socks, and telling ourselves we can do it. YEA, WE CAN DO IT. (so ignore what i said above)

i wish all my friends good luck! and all my good friends, very good luck!

haze

2006-10-06T22:49:00.000+08:00

the haze made my vision real fuzzy, but that hasn't deterred me from going to school today to study. the smell of smoke gave me a high, and i was able to do work for, gasp, 3 hours! omG, okay. i lazy to blog. shall continue next time

prelim results

2006-09-29T23:09:00.000+08:00

prelims was crap. not like it's a breakthrough, it was just like the usual busride to school, no surprises; you don't get bus breakdowns every now and then do you? and it's not like i didn't study for it, i studied like how everyone else did. so maybe, it's cause i'm a dumbass. so dumb, i cant even solve a maclaurin series qns.

well, prelims are not as important when u consider alevels at the ultimate exam of the decade. screw it up, and you might as well be a beggar for the rest of your life. so i've decided, i should just continue studying as per normal, and not be put off by such measely failures.

sad things aside, my mum managed to buy a pirated copy of jay chou's album from malaysia! yay. malaysia always has the cheapest pirated cds you can find! where are all the pirated shits in singapore? ah, the police has busted all their asses. anyway, his new album's not bad. couple of great songs, like track 2. omg, super catchy, with nice lyrics. i think i listened to the cd like 4,5 times today! haha. i have all his pirated cds =) hahah. okay, maybe next time i should buy original, but im poor. cant blame me for being financially disable right?

damn, i've to wake up early tmr. my wish for the day is that karwai gives me 1000 caffeine pills so i can stay awake.

password

2006-09-24T11:43:00.000+08:00

omfg? i type in wrong password. please tell me there's still a sane soul on this earth.

bitter coffee

2006-09-16T01:01:00.000+08:00

i had the first taste of unsweetened coffee today. the aroma was strong but the bitterness was overwhelming. lol. it was not bad, nonetheless.

anyway, i think the buffet lunch today was a waste of money, i simply didn't have the appetite, considering breakfast was at 11am, and lunch was at 1pm. maybe it's the fact that my appetite is small at lunch time. could have gone mugging instead... =s

and. oh man, the new iPod nanos look like the old iPod minis! just smaller, and with a cool 24hrs battery life. take that man! hahah, screw my nano with a puny 10hr+ battery life. nah, i still love my iPod nano! =) oh, and apple released a new iPod shuffle too. it's kinda like a clip on squarish player. looks quite cool, but then, it still doesn't come with a screen. bad.

they just look so cool....

felt sad

2006-09-13T23:01:00.000+08:00

oh this is way expired. but i suppose it's better than not blogging about this.

steve irwin was like a friend of mine, i watched crocodile hunters ever since i suscribed to cable tv. the moment of truth hit me like a bullet, and today, i mourn over the loss of a great man. (to that stingray, watch out. i'll eat you up- bbq-ed, with sambal chili sauce. yums)

andre agassi was like a brother of mine, i watched him play on the courts ever since i started having an interest in tennis. at a ripe young age of 34 (or is it 36), he left the tennis arena, leaving a legacy for the rest to follow. agassi, i salute you. (i instantly sank into a deep depression upon seeing pictures of him crying. no, not crocodile tears from croc hunters. real tears. MAN tears).

my msn display pic is a testament to that.

anyway, i love prelims.

secret ambition

2006-09-10T16:22:00.000+08:00

i have a secret ambition! =)

and nyway, relax my friends. exams more important!

lies

2006-09-02T00:20:00.000+08:00

the moment i heard that song, i knew i had lied.

clocks

2006-08-31T22:03:00.000+08:00

Lights go out and I cant be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have bought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead

such wonderful lyrics.

anyway, movie today was rather interesting. it's so cool to be in the fashion industry, but lol, it's not really my cup of tea.

gp prelim

2006-08-30T22:05:00.000+08:00

I can't comprehend the fact that i nearly fall asleep during a prelim exam! omg. this is getting no where, seriously. i was staring at that interesting comprehension passage, and i yawned. i stared at the first question, stumped, i decided to shut my mind off for perhaps a split second.

nooo. where is the examination stress that i yearn for? this aint exam stress, this is bullshit. argh. anyway, my essay's quite screwed too. privacy for nuts. my points aren't well balanced, neither was my language powerful enough to burst the marker's clothes open.

gp is screwed. no matter how hard i try to lie to myself, gp is just done for =(

did some work in school for a couple of hours before everyone died. had a game of bball which we lost. today's not my day really. tuition was worse.

gary chan gave us two choices: either he goes through superposition and would be the final lesson before prelims. the other would be an alternative lesson next week where he will go through the ac prelim paper, with today's lesson cancelled. so yea, our tuition was cancelled. we went all the way there only to find out that tuition's been cancelled. to make matters worse, it was pouring real heavily. we then decided to take a bus ride around singapore to kill time. LOL. jk. we took a long bus ride to bt batok, which was unusually long. but had a nice chat with them.

you know something. i wanna KILL SOMEONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. LOL. JK. damn.

fun day, but prelims so near

2006-08-22T22:47:00.000+08:00

today's a great day. went town with yawen, xiuyi and jiaying for lunch before heading back to school for maths lecture. lunch at cafe cartel was great! and the price for the set lunch was very affordable too, how to beat a 7.50 meal at a restaurant where you get to sit on cushy couches, not forgetting the free flow of bread! had a large slab of chicken drumstick marinated with honey sauce! omg. damn nice. are u jealous sihui? =)

anyway, i'm quite happy with my math stats results =) at least this time, hard work did pay off!

so after maths lecture, when to library to do some work. then joined sihui and co. to mug. had a nice dinner at the stretch of food shophouses. it was really damn funny, with anitha constantly being the butt of jokes. just thinking of the "oh god" words in ghandi accent give me hiccups. LOL.

damn, im feeling guilty for not raelly studying hard today..

creep

2006-08-17T23:21:00.000+08:00

When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eyes
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very' special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

why? why? why did i fall like, 1 minute into the bball game? gave myself a deep abrasion to my right elbow which looks hideously grotesque. arghh.

i have been sleeping less than usual these few days, and i guess that's making me feel really screwed up.

banglas are good, sometimes

2006-08-11T22:36:00.000+08:00

today, while in bus 980 en route home, i came upon a really heartwarming scene. there was this bangla worker, really tan. he wore a navy blue shirt that accentuates his skin colour. okay, that's beside the point. he gave up his seat to this lady so that her child could sit. but instead, the kid decided not to sit at that particular seat, and sat with her father beside me. the bangla ended up standing at the bay area, looking bewildered, yet at the same time, i know he felt his good deed had came to an unworthy waste.

so you see, we shouldn't discriminate banglas just because they do hard labour. they are the ones who give up their seats, and spare the thoughts for us, singaporeans.

so many examples of ugly singaporeans. was queueing up for the bus, and this man had to dash beside me and squeeze up the bus (when the bus' not even crowded). such unruly behaviour ought to be condemned. i hereby condeme this man for his mannerisms, and hail the banglas! lol. maybe just for the night =)

my poor eyes

2006-08-10T20:56:00.000+08:00

i think i'll be going blind soon. oh my god. my eyes really hurt so much, i guess i used too much of my eye drops today. i need a good sleep.

anyway. i really feel good today. i told myself to abstain from the computer for the day, and i managed to do just that. it's no mean feat okay? lol. at least i can proudly say, i only wasted 2/3 days of the national day holiday =s

fireworks

2006-08-09T20:29:00.000+08:00

the fireworks were just so beautiful. sighh. too bad i can only view them through my little 42inch plasma tv...

anyway. i'm proud of singapore. and i love singapore! happy birthday!

Click

2006-08-08T18:09:00.000+08:00

you know one year's gone when u realise it's national day again. or rather, national day EVE. the interesting thing is that i can't recall how the school celebrated the nations birthday last year, but at least i can say, this year's was better than the previous. perhaps, the weather played a part in it too. nice weather. after school was the outing to catch the movie "Click".

lol yea, the comedy.

i have to say, i'm surprised that the all-out comedy that i expected had a rather melancholic end to it. though i can't really relate myself to the show, (the lead, adam sandler's an architect, while i'm a student) but i certainly do feel the sadness that michael faced. there were hilarious parts, not so funny parts, and then of course, the serious part, where the movie aimed to educate us on our priorities. though it's a little cliched, it's true that placing work over family will result in disastrous consequences. imagine losing a such a pretty and loving wife. oh my god. the final few moments of the movie was really sad. and remember that blue note at the end? really nice.

all in all. a movie worth catching. i heard some people saying that's it's not a really good movie, but i say, watch it with an open mind. if it's not for the lesson learnt, the lame jokes do make you laugh too. edwyn's the perfect example. he was laughing like a hyena in the theatre, so loud and grosteque, that i cringed. lol. JK, edwyn. hahaha.

a pity the theatre's small.

anyway, if not for the movie, today's outing would be darn boring.

you know what, i think the MOST important thing i should do now is....... to sleep. argh.

oh and happy national day to all! =)

a lost

2006-08-07T23:08:00.000+08:00

frankly speaking, i was feeling rather light hearted while playing badminton just now, though the scoreline was like 20-10, with me being at the disadvantage. i kept my cool, smiled at my muscular canoeist opponent, and at the same time, enduring the pain in my shoulder joints. i certainly wasn't happy today. not forgetting that the hall was exceptionally noisy.

and that made my day worse.

oh, and there was this uber exciting mixed doubles match. a pity that yupei and heng da lost. they really deserved to win that match. their opponents were rather cocky, and i know that made many people's blood boil. "good always triumps oveevil" does not stand everytime, you see.

i really can't mug for nuts. sat down for one hour plus and i lost steam. what the **** is wrong with me. wttttttt.........

=s

twisted shoulder

2006-07-29T10:56:00.000+08:00

sigh. what a bad day it was yesterday. was playing badminton with karwai at the gym after school yesterday. and i couldnt believe that i could injure myself playing with him. omg. in addition, it was the final play of the day, and i screwed myself up. i TWISTED MY SHOULDER. omg omg omg.

i woke up today and found myself indulging in some pure pain pleasure while swinging my arms about. it wasn't that bad yesterday though. i really hope it recovers fast. i wanna play on monday =(

sigh. and was actually supposed to play badminton with ziyan today, but have to last min pangseh. sorry dude. =s

boston

2006-07-26T23:10:00.000+08:00

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...

this is aaa crazay world

badminton

2006-07-24T21:22:00.000+08:00

today was a boring day. and definitely aint my day. the worst periods were GP which we had to write a full essay. i chose a topic on dependency on oil. anyway, i dint really pay much attention to what i wrote, knowing that i will fail it. i have been failing all my essays, no matter how many fanciful vocabulary i use, i'll still end up failing it. lol. so this time, i decided not to check my essay for errors after completion. not to forget, i took less than an hour to complete it. i'm like so pro, huh? argh.

then after gp, went to play badminton with jing tat, junyan, huishan and jiaying. i realised after playing that i made a huge mistake. shouldn't have signed up to play for singles. i was thrashed by jing tat. like a bird eating a worm(yes im the worm, not the bird). i was manipulated like a puppet, made me so depressed. playing against jiaying dint make me feel any better. she's much shorter than me as a matter of fact =s

played till about 520pm before me and jiaying decided to stop for the day. oh, the rest left earlier. leaving me in the the abyss of badminton players. damn. then had a nice chat with jiaying till about 6 before leaving for home.

what a day, what a day. and i haven touch a single piece of work today. so much for talking about gaining momentum.

longest mugging session at kap

2006-07-22T18:51:00.000+08:00

i have to say, this is the longest time i spent at kap, inhaling the perpetual oily smell. mugging was not too bad, though i didn't really complete that much work, considering i spent like 6 hours there. oh, not to forget, me and edwyn left for tuition halfway. sihui is crazy, cause he mugs like a clock, never stopping. okay, a clock monster. nono, clock monster sihui. hahah. lame. and kelly's crazy too, cause she came so early. who goes to kap at 730am?!?! madness. plus she tried to extort free lunch treats from those who are late. i think i'm nice, that's why she dint ask me to give her a treat =p

anyway, there's another mugging session at kap tomorrow. bless me with infinite MacDonald's meals. arghhhhh.. this is so sick. sick. sick.

bro's birthday

2006-07-19T21:44:00.000+08:00

and omg, my parents just reminded me it's my bro's birthday today! lol. happy 16th birthday terence. i hope you'll grow up to be less childish and hot tempered. =s

the most unlikely revelation

2006-07-19T20:57:00.000+08:00

today was community service day, which also coincides with racial harmony day. so that really did explain why several njcians dressed up in ethnic costumes today. our class wasn't left out of the fun too, with kelly, clarice and peiying dressing as malays and chinese respectively. peiying was omg-ly sexy, her cheongsum was a little too tight for comfort i guess =s anyway, our class hosted a few nursery and k1 kids. and they all looked really cute, their height and childishness really do add up to their cuteness! it was erm, rather fun la. but by the end of the day, i was depleted of much of my energy.

then, the few of us decided to go have lunch at town to satisfy our desires of our stomach. ended up at marina square after that helluva ride on 171. the bus journey was so jerky and rocky i nearly puked. anyway, after much procrastination and lack of decisiveness, we made our way to kenny rogers for a meal. much to our delight, where the lunch set cost a mere 8.90. 3 side dishes and a main course! wow. dirt cheap, so we thought.. the meals came with a surprisingly twist. i had expected much from the lunch meal, from the vivid description of the previous meal sihui had at KJ. woot. the chicken fillet i ordered was a pathetic slab of meat that's smaller than my left hand. it looked so small, i swear it'll make a dwarf blush after eating it. DAMN.

seriously, the meal was absolutely not value for money. my side dishes failed to make the money worthed. a potato salad, mashed potato and baked rice only made me real sick of my food. instead of complementing my main course, it only made eating a torture- to my utter dismay. everyone was complaining of their food, some left nothing on their plates (like me), while others totally gave up eating. lol. real funny. this was one meal i couldnt forget, not for good reasons definitely.

kelly left as she needs to rest. so that leaves the 7 of us stranded at town. the rest had actually wanted to catch "thank you for smoking". but to our disappointment, the show wasnt showed at both GV and Eng Wah. not to forget the miles and miles we walked while walking from cinema to cinema. our little legs nearly couldn't take it anymore. so, we decided to chill out at coffee bean, suntec city. and how else do we spend our time there? there's always the trusty game, Truth or Dare.

lol. i shant blog about the details here as i'm lazy. i'm sure the ever-hardworking sihui will blog about it! hahaha. anyway, it was really interesting, and i was showered with shocking revelations and news. edwyn and sihui definitely were in the limelight. sihui's was particularly shocking, and that made my day! =) jialing was suanned many many times, with jing tat bashfully hidden behind. his coy smile and gayness never fails to bring a smile to everyone faces. LOL.

oh and lastly. i'm kinda disappointed over a couple of comments. not that im furious over those comments or whatsoever, i'm just pure disappointed. am i really that bad? that evil a person? okay, yes, i'm dumb and stupid. but im sure that statement, cannot be truly justified.

ah, the vicissitudes of life

home early

2006-07-18T15:03:00.000+08:00

i'm kinda surprised that i reached home so early today, 130pm to be exact. planned to mug in school initially, but couldnt find anyone to study with so decided to head home- which means to waste some time away! lol.

oh, and i finally got back my gp results. the results weren't good at all. bad enough for me to get myself a free ticket to have gp remedial every wednesday. so much for pinning some hopes on gp eh?

okay, time for a good nap!

the world's going crazy

2006-07-16T18:59:00.000+08:00

everyone's going crazy. EVERY single one of them. jing tat, for example. the first thing he said upon reaching KAP is, "GO PLAY POOL". and we had barely started mugging. that's the first, and also the epitome of everyone's craziness.

sihui became crazy towards the end too. he made so much noise, i couldnt concentrate on my work anymore. he rattled on like a machine gun, and together with the din at KAP, i swear the decibels reached higher than a 100. (fyi, >100db is as loud as a construction site).

not to forget, scandals appearing from all sides, swarming the class like flies. nevertheless, i believe jing tat has the upper hand, because he's from TCHS. while edwyn on the other hand, comes from my bro's school. which i must say, is a little screwed up. tchs, though having its name changed to hci, will forever remain in our hearts.

maybe we should all listen to the song Crazy by simple plan. oops, simple plan. LOL

a fish has died tonight

2006-07-15T21:51:00.000+08:00

A fish has died tonight.

today marks the day where one my fish, a koi, died from unknown reasons. my mum sounded the alarm by coming upstairs and told me the bad news. i was astounded, sat in my chair and looked up into the ceiling. it was the worst night of my life, really. it died so bad, it looked so ugly even when it had already lost its soul. it lay limped, red spots visible on its scales. and a smell reeked from it.

sihui told me to give it a good burial. yep. my maid certainly did. she scooped it out from the water, place it softly with a deft touch into a NTUC fairprice plastic bag. she then swiftly transferred the plastic bag into a red pail, destined for the blue truck the very next morning.

tonight, everyone shall mourn for the lost of the very one fish that perished in my fish tank. sadly, it died a horrible death.

pardon me for the exaggeration. but lol. one of my 6 fishes, really died.

pirates of the caribbean 2

2006-07-14T15:31:00.000+08:00

had a movie outing yesterday, which surprisingly, was on a thursday. it's kinda rare nowadays to be able to hit town on thursday. the outing was supposedly planned on friday, but due to unforeseen circumstances, thursday became the more suitable day for the movie. in addition, it's the opening day of the movie, pirates of the caribbean, dead man's chest! with all the hype over this particular trilogy, i was intrigued to watch it too. the first instalment was fantastic, pure entertainment. however, i should warn those who have yet to watch it, to not have such high expectations of this sequel.

well, out of 5, i rate it a 3. i find the storyline rather bland, though the lame jokes in between attempted to salvage the plot. however, certain jokes really did fall flat. not that i didn't like the movie, but i prefer something more exhilarating and exciting. the movie got better as time passes, and finally ending off with a cliffhanger. okay, that made me want to catch the final sequel next year! for those who likes pirates of the caribbean, this movie is a definite must-watch, as it guides you to the last part of the trilogy. it's worth the eight bucks, but certainly not the best movie i have caught this year =s oh and something to add, the special effects are cool! lol.

today was a slack day. really slack. first, we had PE by ourselves. the pe teachers have all gone down to macritchie to support the canoeists, so that left us to play our own games! kicked a rather good game of soccer! and a few rounds of badminton. we were so engrossed in our games that we decided to pon physics lecture. it was a sweating good time we had in the gym! =)

gp today was cancelled too because mr ducro suddenly fell sick and had to go home. almost 3/4 of the class left. because i had no where to go, i stayed in class. some of my classmates decided to play some number guessing game, which i had never played before. and yea, no prizes of guessing who kept losing. sian. in the end, both my arms had to suffer the forfeit- to be drawn on. i looked like a ganster with tattoos all over at the end.. but it was good fun! it's also the first time i get to interact with my gp mates, they're really fun people!

that sums up my friday.

ipod earbuds

2006-07-11T23:21:00.000+08:00

argh. my ipod's right earbud has gone faulty. certain sound will turn out sounding like frogs croaking. damn, i guess i have to make a looong trip down to wheelock place to get it repaired.

what a waste of time

i'm still contemplating whether to come for school on thursday =s

and can you believe it, i was downloading IE7 at 500+kb/s?! HOLY shit.

the world champs

2006-07-10T21:56:00.000+08:00

the world cup has finally come to an end, though with me nearly banging my head against the wall. the entire match was so dramatic, i think it could draw the big bucks if shown on the silver screen. the game started really quickly, and sent adrenalin pumping through my body when 2 goals scored in the early 20 minutes. woah.

sadly, france couldn't get their breakthrough, much to my anticipation. italy's defence was just wickedly tight, water tight to be exact. thierry henry's runs were often promptly cleared by italia's defenders easily, not to forget cannovaro's superb defending skills, almost god-like, i would say. lol. the match sadly, went into extra time. by that time, i was already yawning rather badly, not because the match was boring, but because i was dead beat. 3hours of sleep a day is a killer, i really can't survive with that. anyway, the game came into a surprising twist when zinedine zidane made the most ridiculous attack on Materrazi. seriously, i have no idea what he was doing. a headbutt aimed squarely at his chest, so powerful it sent him flying towards the ground. a definite red card. i have to say, one reason i support les bleus was due to their prolific talisman zizou. but what he did last night was totally unforgivable. for a moment, i thought only wayne rooney will come out with something like that. juvenile, violent conduct by a 34-year old, highly experienced mid-fielder. omg. i was speechless.

zidane left his team in tatters. not only did he threw his captain's armband away, leaving his team in utter discord, he left the team as one of the better penalty kick takers- recall david trezeguet's disastrous penalty kick which bounced off the cross bar. a heart break. zidane, he now does not deserve to leave the field a hero, instead, he left football as a villain, a foolish one as a matter of fact. in contrast, other players destined to hang their boots - oliver kahn, luis figo, pauleta etc etc.. do deserve our high praises.

poor france.

nevermind, i guess football's like that.

champions of the world, ITALY.

world cup final prelude

2006-07-09T17:37:00.000+08:00

the exhaustion is just starting to grip me. caught the third place playoff last night, and i would say that it's worth the time. though the first half was filled with clean passes, and lots of advantages to germany, there were no goals. however, we, as audience, were finally rewarded with not one, not two, three but four goals! a goal feast, as what the newspaper had predicted. 3 totally wicked balls, all set up by Schweinsteiger, a pity he missed out on a hattrick due to an own goal by petit =s german domination in front of the six yard box! well, portugal deserved a consolation goal by its own for what they have done, nuno gomez with a sweet diving header at the 88th min to send the match 3-1! woah. what a game, what a game =)

so tonight's the game, where the coveted world cup is up for grabs. hopefully, les bleus will manage to clinch it. not that i don't fancy the azzurris, maybe it's just that i prefer thierry henry's slick moves and astonishing pace, plus zizou's final world cup match, i guess, france deserves to win it tonight. all odds are against france, but i believe they can win!

by hook or by crook, i'll be awake at 2am tonight.

lessons tomorrow are screwed, but who cares. it's once every four years..

nj band concert

2006-07-09T00:40:00.000+08:00

so, it's the band concert everyone's talking about, okay maybe not really. but hey, it's at the esplanade! because of that, i decided to dress up a little and not so shabbily- the typical NJ image (teeshirt and jeans kinda look). yea it sucks. while looking through my wardrobe, i suddenly had a realisation that i had absolutely nothing nice to wear, and had to borrow a black shirt from my dad. and i have to admit it's a smart looking black shirt! my mum has really good taste i must say, cos if im not wrong, my mum bought that shirt for my dad. nevermind, i shall try to get myself one if i have the chance to =s

met my fellow classmates at city hall mrt station. and wow, everyone dressed up too! the guys with shirts and jeans, while the girls wore pretty clothes too. haha. it's kinda rare to see them all dressed up. even jing tat, who told me he's wearing teeshirt and slippers came in a shirt and jeans. however, i was told that 4 other guys have decided to have their own dinner instead. hmmmmm, what's wrong with joining us? i wonder. had a nice dinner at a japanese restaurant at marina square, the food portions were just right. and finally, we ended off with a splendid dessert which i happily shared with jing tat. anitha shared hers with phylicia, and my my, theirs were humongous! almost twice our icecream's size. that really made me disappointed. 7 bucks for a puny icecream simply doesn't seemed to be worth the money. but to my surprise, the icecream tasted really good, and to top it off, the lukewarm extremely-sweet-sweetpotato was absolutely heavenly. well, to think of it now, 7 bucks is worth the money for such an awesome dessert! =)

meanwhile, edwyn kept showing his cleavage; which i found kinda obscene..

next, the concert! i have to say i'm astounded by the quality of the band, considering i've been listening to the poor renditions of the school song every morning during assembly. they can actually play well! and, yea, it's really good, even better than hwa chong's band concert which i went with ziyan a couple of months back. it was entertaining, yet at the same time soothing with its nicely balanced repertoire. if only they played lotr's themes, which i so fondly liked. ahhh. hmmm, why do people sleep or find the concert boring? especially with the majestic concert hall where the band is playing! so nice!

went around looking for karwai and clarice after the concert. hahah, karwai looks quite good looking in his blazer. took a couple of pictures with him and friends. and clarice, hahaha, she's so short. anyway, congratulations to them for such a good concert.

went supper with my classmates after that. but before that, we were wandering about esplanade and bumped into a group of rowdy _ _ _ _ _ s (fill in the blanks, it's a race) as a matter of fact, i hate that race. they are lazy and dumb, and they always end up being public nuisance. and today, they harrassed the class girls which was totally ridiculous and absurd. under broad moonlight?! wtf. just because they are that-race, doesnt give them the right to go around touching girls. okay, talk is cheap. i admit we should have intervened, but i was kinda stunned by what they did. should have told them to fuck off or something like that. sigh. fucking that-race. go back to your kampong and play with marbles..

well, that sums up the day. oh and not to forget the cab back home. i'm now so broke, i swear i have to stay at home all day tomorrow.

3place playoff later, go DEUTSCHLAND!

sighhhhhh..

ct2 results

2006-07-06T16:28:00.000+08:00

it was so bad i was stunned for a long time. my results were utterly pathetic, to the extent of it being laughable. maybe i can console myself by saying i'm not the worst, but is that it? by making yourself feel better just because i aint the last in class? what rubbish. i couldn't believe that i didn't even manage a D for my maths, only having to satisfy with an E. physics was worse, O8, just a couple of marks more and i would have official failed it. chemistry was the worst, straight F, no qualms, no questions asked.

EOF. OH MY GOD.

okay, comparable to my miserly DFFF during CT1.

i know it's time to pull up my socks. but the fact is that, i've already tried. it's not like i never study for my common tests. i did. maybe not hard enough, maybe it's because i never attempted a single TYS question. questions i ask myself to why i flunk my common tests again and again. however, these questions can never justify my utter lack of ability to score for exams and tests alike. they merely reflect on my level of intelligence, and also my laziness. my refusal to pick up my books proper is the bane of my results. argh.

i feel sad for my friends who had done badly this time round, because i know perfectly how they feel. but then again, it's useless to whine about results because they are simply a reflection of our pasts. so it's really time to pick ourselves up, and work harder for prelims.

with that, i shall erm, promise to work harder. FOR BETTER RESULTS! =)

oh anyway, i hope France, the les bleus, wins the world cup, and Germany to clinch third place. Germany really does deserve to be in the finals, too bad they fell in the last hurdle =s football's like that i guess. it's really unpredictable, and that's what makes it ever so exciting.

ahhh...

sentosa outing again

2006-07-04T22:10:00.000+08:00

some of you may not believe it, but it's true that our class organised another outing to sentosa! and i cant believe i went again. well, i have to say it wasn't as fun as the previous outing, due to the fact that vball today wasn't really exciting. but fortunately, it wasn't that bad la. at least it's better than staying at home, and playing computer game till i get a throbbing headache.

the turnout was okay, at least, it's erm 1/7 of the class? that's like a huge achievement already, considering not many people are into hanging out at the beach. the beach at sentosa isn't that great anyway, the sand's kinda coarse, and the scorching hot sun threatens to roast our very skin. wicked, really. today's sun baked many of us, our faces turning a nice shade of pink (especially jing tat). fortunately for me, i learnt my lesson from the previous outing, and hence brought a bottle of sunblock lotion. it's always better to rely on myself than to hope that someone else will bring instead. oh, it's a sunblock with spf80, more than sufficient to last thru a couple of hours of sunburning. not only that, it's waterproof for 4hrs! okay, for that was what the label says =s

it's quite interesting that everyone suggested jumping into the cold sea the moment we arrived at palawan beach. and by that time, only me, jing tat, yawen and jiaying were present. so after much hesitation, i decided to join them, but certainly not before i protected my skin with sunblock. it's an irony that jing tat applied sunblock too, but ended up with skin tone that of a lobster. poor jing tat, his skin aint born to breathe under the sun. lol. anyways, the sea was refreshing cold, yet at the same time, slimy at the seabed. there you go, we, like idiots, trying to find out why the seabed was slimy. we ended up with seaweeds being the culprit. and how right we were! =) and erm, how can we forget our trusty vball that jing tat had brought? i got seasick after a while due to the mild choppy waters. soon enough, the rest arrived, sihui edwyn and clarice. but poor clarice, she should have joined us in the water. it was helluva fun time we had in the water. hahaha. xiuyi came much later in the afternoon, and missed the blazing hot sun, thus explaining the lack of sunburns on her skin. lucky you.. jing tat must be jealous.

we had a really poor game of vball today, everything just went wrong. however, edwyn saves the day by serving really well, capitalising on our opponents' poor technical skills; losing only one game out of the many we played with strangers. ahh, what an achievement.. and so, as a finale, we jumped into the sea once again to cool down. this time, the sea wasn't as choppy, and the seaweeds have all been washed ashore. so that leaves the sea cleaner than before, though still with its distinctive dirty green colour. looks like we have an affinity for water. though im kinda hydrophobic =s

had dinner at breeks where i ordered a plate of beef bolognese. totally pathetic the serving. my stomach was still growling, so i got myself some sushi from cold storage with tat. then after, we had a couple of games of pool at the erm, dont know what building (at dhoby ghaut) before finally heading for home.

ah, what a tiring day. but like what all the others have said, it's the last day of freedom. and we did, enjoy ourselves for perhaps, the last time. hopefully not =s

cant wait for my ct results. gonna be real exciting. hahah. brazilian tragedy, more like my fav eng losing to portugal in penalties. really saddening the latter was. perhaps that's a blessing in disguise? i'm not a fan of brazil, so brazil losing doesn't really affect me. eh heh! we shall see tomorrow =)

ENGLAND is out.....

2006-07-03T11:54:00.000+08:00

i had such dismay in my eyes, the winning ticket in our hands no longer seemed important anymore. well, about the winning ticket. it was just a sudden decision to have a small, yet perfectly legal bet when we passed by a singapore pools outlet, at erm, i have no idea where that place was. after much panicking, and with the "more experienced" aunties and uncles around us (i'm sure they'd be saying how foolish and stupid we are), we decided to bet on a draw for the england match. well, it was certainly a wise move. i had previously predicted a draw, though with the help of TODAY newspaper, which also provided a goaless draw at full time as a speculation. we buy that. so there you go, THE WINNING TICKET. 15 bucks into our little pockets.

but, i have to say, the fact that england is out of the world cup made the ticket look a tad useless. did you see the dispair on John Terry's face? the tears, the sorrow. omg. damn sad. upon missing the penalty kick by frank lampard, he immediately clutched his face. okay, i admit i guessed he'll miss that shot; he blasted all other shots in the world cup into oblivion anyway. so yea. sad to say, england's out.

brazil's out too. beautiful game? joga bonito? a load of bullshit i would say.

but anyway, i've finally got myself a new pair of jeans! after such a long time wearing the same pair of giordano blues. this new pair is much cooler =)

bye, common tests

it's really different when you only have 3 meagre subjects to juggle. i'm not saying it's better, but anyone out there who's taking 4 subjects, or even S papers, why not just take a step back; perhaps, enjoy a day or two with only 3 subjects. it's a breeze. lol. ehh, but when the results come out, it'll be another story =s

alright, common tests are finally over. glad to say, i should be able to do better than the previous common test. my grades were rather bad, it's up to your interpretation of what's bad, or what's not so bad - DFFF. wow.. you can say, oh you so deserve it, you SLACKer, or, ehh, who ask you so stupid. it's okay, i'm used to it. anyway, i've been used to being last in class back in secondary school. now, what's important is that i don't screw up my A levels. =)

with the end of common tests, it meant that the moment we all have been waiting for is here, albeit only for a couple of days. hey! holidays for 5 days up for grabs, who wont want that? in addition, it's the world cup season my friends. ENG vs Por on saturday 11pm, i guess it's a must-watch for me. haha.

anyway, watched Silent Hill at cine this afternoon with my bunch of friends. zy, tat, ed, hd and alfred. zy reluctantly watched the show, and pulled his ass into the theatre. omg. scary movie 4, dude. it's a really crappy show, the sort of show you download from the internet and view it on your computer. Lol. contrary to ziyan lamentings about the show being the worst he had ever watched, i think the show was rather good. not to mention the special effects in the show. plus, the show's gore was a right balance, not too much, and not too little. a show worth watching i would say. oh, and i read from the internet about the story's plot. well, i came out of the theatre feeling abit lost, but then, now i finally realised the essence of the show. for 7 bucks, what more can you get? SUPERMAN? hahah. sure.

cheers, to our holidays!

2 days to the end

time and tide waits for no man. it really doesn't. look, it's almost the end of the holidays already! to rejoice or to moan, is a question to ponder. well, i have to say this holidays\ was really activities-filled. okay, i wont elaborate, i'm lazy.

anyway, i went house looking today again. looks like my parents have set their minds on one semi-d near my home. it's erm, not much bigger than my home, but at least it's a semi-d. okay, there's much renovation to do if my parents do buy that house =s the worst thing is that, my current home would have to be sold off. so where the hell do i stay?! lol.

though all that cannot be confirmed; the price aint right yet. my dad keeps saying that.

oh back to my revision. to be honest, i haven been studying consciensciouly. have been slacking around the computer, listening to music. that's life i guess. i have been listening to some really soothing and nice music. hahah. and THAT'S been distracting me.

now im blaming my procrastination cos of music. how interesting..

guilt

i realised i have not been studying conscienciously as i should have been. i don't know why, but i keep getting distracted =s anyway, my parents brought us out to a couple of houses today. okay, they are serious about getting a new house, but the houses we saw today are erm, not to our taste or budget. first, the one behind the row of shophouses near my home was at a lousy plot of land, the entire estate was old. and to add oil to the fire, there was a hdb estate directly behind the backyard. like wth? there's absolutely no privacy. and oh, the house is small, considering it's a semi-detached house. urgh.

the next one was much much better. it's very very near my home, just up the hill beside my home. it's a tad smaller than my current home, but it's design is super modern. 3 stories plus a basement! what more can you want? it's just really really cool to be able to stay in that house. but guess what, the asking price is a hefty 1.9million. totally out of my dad's budget.. urgh =s but i think my parents have a home in mind, somewhere in yck, yishun area. 3 stories with an attic! hahah.

and just now, i heard that my cousin can read medicine at NUS. felt really really jealous. sigh. my elder cousins are all so smart. my eldest cousin is currently reading chemical engineering at NUS, while my 2nd eldest cousin is in UK with a DBS scholarship. i'm the forth eldest one, and there's only one thing i can say about my results currently. it sucks really. oh man, i can only wish. sigh sigh.
