Fleurs Du Mal

Blog revival?

hmmm...

A post about food

2009-11-15T20:15:00.004+08:00

I'm getting those cravings again. Aaah.

And I've got to do something about it cos I don't want to give in! Yes I know I sound anorexic. Hahaha but it's a health thing not a vanity thing.

And when you get cravings you really just want to eat anything around you that looks tasty. Aaah.

Have..to...control...

It's like when Jason brought back those corn things from Indonesia. I wouldn't stop eating it but reminded myself not to get hooked cos it's from another country and I wouldn't be able to get it once it's finished.

Food food food.

Double meanings.

2009-11-15T16:54:00.003+08:00

I realise that I think too much most of the time.

Maybe it's helpful to stop over thinking things.

2009-11-09T22:41:00.002+08:00

Give It Up To Me

I must say, going back sure is nostalgic. Kind of like a phew-i'm-so-glad-I'm-past-this-stage kind of nostalgia. The good kind!

I'm tired though - I've got a really really busy week ahead. Aurgh. That's probably why I'm not going to type much for this small post.

Ah wells...

Love will keep us alive...

2009-11-07T17:17:00.001+08:00

Sis: I want to highlight my hair blue

Mom: Yeah! Add purple and it will be nice.

Sis: I was expecting a different reaction.

2009-11-06T21:47:00.002+08:00

I realised that this skin is really apt. The mood and everything.

I wonder why Poe was obssessed with death. I guess it's because he was kind of a psycho anyway - one that could write well though.

I've thought of death as an escape. An escape from reality, rather than an end to it. Maybe people need an escape from life and reality. I don't think I fear death if it happens to me. I only fear it happening to others around me.

'Why are you so morbid?'

I guess Vig would know.

Sigh. The weekend's here but I'm somehow not as happy as I thought I would be.

2009-11-04T20:46:00.002+08:00

Without trust, closeness is impossible.

Sounds so simple and 'Duh-you-mean-you-just-realised-that', but it's in fact something that is so vital in human relations.

You can see my heart beating..

Anyway, I realised that it's nearing the end of the year. Wow. Time really does march past.

Thought of the day: Time.

Time as a theme is very interesting. It can become so-called a theme because of what we make of it and not because of what it really is.

What is time, really?

time (tm)n.

a. A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.

b. An interval separating two points on this continuum; a duration: a long time since the last war; passed the time reading.

c. A number, as of years, days, or minutes, representing such an interval: ran the course in a time just under four minutes.

d. A similar number representing a specific point on this continuum, reckoned in hours and minutes: checked her watch and recorded the time, 6:17 a.m.

e. A system by which such intervals are measured or such numbers are reckoned: solar time.

I use the term 'we' very loosely, so ok I shall use 'I'.

I like to see time as a theme - taking a physical appearance. And in this physical appearance would (Gary don't sigh) contain a hybrid of our past, present, and future.

It would be twisted, malformed and probably unrecognisable. I'm looking at time as a perception and not as an entity.

Just as the beat of the drum matches the rhythm of the heart. Plunge deep into the centre of the equilibrium and shatter the continuum.

We were kids.

'People only believe what they want to believe.'

'People fear the unknown. People laugh at the perils of others. People... are people.'

Only people who know me well will know when I'm bull shitting and when I'm not ;p

2009-11-03T21:56:00.002+08:00

I would say I'm intrigued by the advance of digital music.

Come on and evacuate

It's really a wonder what one can create with electronics.

Let's love
Let's love
Let's love
Like we used to

The sound's all over me
When you dance
You dance cos you're free
Free yourself from all
the thoughts and perceptions
stopping you it's all right

When you get down
It's the only time
To act like a fool
And go all out crazy
Trust me it's in the hips
Move to the rhythm
Own the beat

Psst!

2009-11-02T21:42:00.003+08:00

Well well guess where I'm blogging from. Haha.

And yes I'm trying to keep updating my blog now. Somehow something inspired me to keep updating.

Today I got to thinking about life away from home. What my life would be like away from my comfort zone. And when I say that I mean Singapore.

Singapore is my comfort zone. I feel comfortable here and I am used to the culture. Yet somehow there's this dissatisfaction in me that craves experiencing life outside this comfort zone. Paradoxically, I have this fear of leaving this very cozy place that I have spent almost 19 years in.

The phrase 'almost 19 years' is a hint btw

Anyway, I am still undecided on what I want to do after I finish my time. I remember being really annoyed because I didn't know what to do with my life. I felt frustrated because I hate being in a dilemma. It is truly one of the worst things to be in!

Take me to a world, a different world
Cross the boundaries
Push the edge

My mom told me 'don't take life too seriously', yet somehow I can't help but wonder if I don't take life seriously enough. Mom was so worried for me cos she thought I was being overly sensitive. But the ironic thing is, I was upset precisely because I was not taking things seriously enough and not knowing what I want in life.

It's like this big loop that keeps going round and round.

Makes me wanna sing.

Maybe I think too much. I honestly think I do.

Yeah like heck you do

Yawn I think I shall go and sleep.

2009-11-01T20:52:00.002+08:00

Ok I'm back! After about 2 months of not blogging.

And yes, as you can see I have reverted back to my poe skin. Unfortunately, I did something really stupid and forgot to save the one before.

Z.

Oh well. Anyway, here are some updates:

1) There haven't been that many updates because my life hasn't drastically changed. Even if it has, I probably wouldn't been typing this out.

2) Refer to point 1

So basically (to quote Bryan), I guess life is pretty much stagnant at this point. And I do feel less inspired than I was in school. (I'm really not sure why) It's probably because I haven't been studying much.

How ironic - I used to long for the days where I wouldn't have to study. This proves that my parents are right once again.

'You will treasure the times when you were a student'

'No la please!'

I guess the law compels me not to type certain things out as well. I therefore have to resort to double meanings and speaking metaphorically. Hahaha.

I guess that should keep my literary needs satisfied.

Want your Bad Romance

The funny thing is, I actually have a lot to say and I have so much on my mind but I just can't seem to sort it out into coherent paragraphs. It's kinda like during the A level period where your brain is just BURSTING with information that you have to sort of organise it as you write.

I remember something that Benny said to me when I first came to SCC.

'You're so artsy.'

At first I didn't know whether I should take it as a complement or not, but I decided to do so anyway. I guess it was because I never really stopped to realise the significance of art.

I wonder what life would have been like without art.

Without music, without colour, without creativity.

Without excitement, without difference.

Without life.

It's just like if how everyone behaved the same way and had the same personality. Goodness how BORING would that be.

So, to Benny if you're reading this: I'm glad that i'm artsy!

Oh yes! I just remembered. I got a synthesizer!

Yay yay that rocks. Hahaha.

Ok I will continue with the updates. I hope.

But for now.

1 2 3 not only you and me

2009-09-01T21:50:00.000+08:00

"Maybe you do have talent after all."

2009-08-29T17:33:00.000+08:00

I realised that my blog is rather dead.

And I'm sick of this blogskin.

I promise myself to do smth about it.

Yay!

2009-08-24T18:31:00.000+08:00

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

2009-08-23T19:18:00.002+08:00

If you think I like living on the edge, waiting for the moment to happen, then you are sadly mistaken.

Resolve your own psychological and emotional issues.

2009-08-16T22:34:00.003+08:00

So ends a very eventful week.

For those who have no idea what the previous post was about. It's the Lady GaGa concert that I went on Wednesday.

Gosh it seems like such a long time ago. I'm really too lazy to blog ABOUT the concert because it was just so fantastic that it's too much to describe. Anyway, it's Sunday night and thus begins another long week :( I guess I should really get used to this feeling.

Come join the party...

Hmmm. I really how im going to cope with Gary gone the whole of next week, but I think it should be fine lar. With many things to do, the days should pass by faster.

EA - the inevitable.

Hmmmzzzzzz I shld really be thinking about what I'm going to do after NS.

The real. The real. The unimagined.

Once again I lapse into the dream state...

2009-08-13T00:09:00.001+08:00

Absolutely incredible.

INCREDIBLE.

2009-08-01T22:05:00.003+08:00

The weeks really seem to zoom by. Which is great!

So live your life.

Somehow the weekends aren't so packed thanks to some people who have NDP rehearsals. Z.

Anyhow, I'm still really confused as to what to do after NS. With so many things to choose from, so many things to consider. Sigh.

Someone please enlighten me soon.

-----

Me: Mom your throat is really bad huh.

Mom: Yeaah.

Me: With this sore throat you really sound like Marge Simpson.

*Silence

Me: Say 'Homer'.

Mom: Homerr.

Me: Hahahahahaha

Don't forget...

2009-07-29T22:50:00.003+08:00

"RIHANNA was lucky to escape a mass serenade of her hit tune Umbrella when she ventured out in New York yesterday.

Onlookers must have been tempted to burst into song as the sexy singer passed by with an umbrella protecting her from the falling rain.

Wearing a stunning strapless denim dress and extravagant hat, it's little wonder Rihanna was hell bent on keeping herself dry"

Hahahahahahahaha.

2009-07-29T22:40:00.002+08:00

I'm SOO glad a certain item was found and returned to me.

Thank you thank you.

Really, bless your soul you kind person! :)

Haha. Ok Vig has commented that my entries are short so FINE VIGNESH I'll blog longer entries.

Today I seemed to be in a daze at work. Probably because I laughed so hard in the morning. Gary told me this story from his school that was utterly hilarious. Apparently his teacher punished them by making them stare at a bucket of water an hour. She called it "water appreciation".

I was already laughing hard when he told me that.

Then he was like,

"Oh then she made them draw it out afterwards."

HAHAHAHA I just couldn't stop laughing for like 30 seconds. But after that I was exhausted. After lunch I just zoned out.

"Sam can you follow up on this?"

"Duuuuuhhhhhhh.... what?"

Ok so it's past mid week already. So fast! Haha. 2 more days to the weekend! 1 and a half years to ORD! Hahaha.

Gosh. I'm tired now after typing this LONG entry. Hahaha.

Ok bye ya'll

"Absolutely beautiful. Marvelous. I have no comments."

2009-07-23T22:15:00.001+08:00

Just ate escargot. It's not bad actually.

2009-07-22T21:23:00.003+08:00

What a bad day.

WHAT a bad day.

AUGHHH.

been so lost?

2009-07-18T18:08:00.002+08:00

I'm so annoyed!

My computer crashed yet again!

I'm done with this computer techinician.

To anyone who has a good computer tech or knows one, please give me his/her contact!!

I need to fix my com!!

Sigh, looks like the new blogskin will have to wait.

2009-07-18T12:36:00.000+08:00

Watch more videos at KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.

2009-07-15T22:56:00.003+08:00

Thew new blogskin is really going to take some time.

I'm still fiddling around, brainstorming and throwing different ideas here and there.

So I'll continue blogging then!

Yea well the weekend was awesome. I went to Yus's house on Friday for a sleepover thingy along with Vig, Dinesh, Luo Er, Ah Pie, Jason and Cheryl. Jason and Cheryl didn't stay but we still had a great time catching up and all that.

Then we watched Marley & Me and Fight Club.

Marley & Me was... ok lar. I wouldn't say it's fantastic or 'kick you in the croth spit on your neck fantastic', but it's worth watching.

NOT for dog lovers though.

You'll probably sob at then end and annoy the less sentimental ones beside you. That means you, Janet Yu.

Oh I remember my old teacher from Cat High, Mrs Mel Neo, who told us that she cries at almost every sad movie. And her other teacher friends or non teacher friends would look at her and be like, "whaaaaaat??"

Ok maybe not in such a african american way, but they would be look at her in this incredulous manner and wonder why the heck she's sobbing at... er... Moulin Rouge or smth.

Anyway, Fight Club was.... exhausting. Hahaha.

Seeing people beat each other up until their noses bled and their faces became some sort of mush was really exhausting to watch. Cos everytime you're like "Ugh!" when the guy gets smashed up.

And at first I thought it was some psycho show with all the violence but at the end (or what was the end for me) I realised... 'Ooooh so it's like that lar'.We stayed up all night and I was so exhausted on Saturday morning that I cabbed home and slept till 4pm.

Then I woke up and rushed to meet SCC people for dinner. (Bryan, Ms Ai Yun, Gary, Dannie, Luqman, Burton, Pei Hao)

We went to some weird but nice place at Taka that named it's dishes after fairy tales.

So it's something like,

"Hey can I have a Thumbelina please?"

Mine was,

"Can I have The Last Viking?"

Haha yea but the food's not bad. Expensive but not bad.

So after that (stop narrating ugh) we went to Yello Jello, the retro bar at clark quay, and tried to talk to each other above the blaring music.

All in all, it was a really fun day.

I took the Sunday to rest, thank goodness.

The moon got lost again last night...

I guess I feel alright...

The fresh awakening of the day, the brand new revelation of things.

How the poets yawn and the grasshoppers sniff at the futility of these.

Maybe we should not be afraid to express, to put forth our most random thoughts.

Flip.

Flop.

Look down.

Look up.

Walk forward,

laugh.

Drop.

2009-07-15T19:22:00.001+08:00

Haha the people here to deliver the mattresses are right behind me, telling each other to relax and take deep breaths so they can move the giant mattress up.

2009-07-13T21:13:00.001+08:00

Ok I'm all set to create my new blogskin.

This will be a good one.

I hope.

2009-07-12T00:38:00.002+08:00

Wow I'm exhausted. I think I haven't been this exhausted in a long time.

It has been a fun filled 2 days :)

Shall blog about it more tomorrow.

Till then, yawn...

2009-07-06T19:38:00.003+08:00

Ok I know I shouldn't laugh at this, but I really couldn't help it.

Beyonce did this tribute thing to Michael Jackson during her I Am... Tour.

She sang 'Halo'.

It was all right until she went,

"Michael I can feel your halo."

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I dunno why it's so funny but I just burst out laughing.

Omg.

"Michael I can feel your halo."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2009-07-05T23:35:00.002+08:00

Ok, i'm back to work tomorrow!

I honestly hope I don't fall sick and go on MC again because I really have work to clear.

Oh wells. This weekend has been fun, just hanging with friends and catching up. I must say I have not done that in some time.

Gotta wake up early again!

Why won't you release me..

The fear

2009-07-04T12:42:00.002+08:00

Here I am, blogging at Colin's house.

I'm waiting for him to get done so we can head off to meet the rest for board games at mindcafe or whatever it's called.

I'm so into Lily Allen's The Fear. I just love the production on the song, the electronic pop feel of it. I think I'm just into electro pop.

Yeah we're onto a winner.

On another unrelated topic, I got the $100 GST rebate! Haha. I don't know whether the government actually tracks our blogs or not, but hats off to Singapore's government for giving us money during a recession! Haha.

I still remember Mr Glascow's

"Your garment wear nice"

thing. Aaah thinking about that just makes me trace back to my JC life all over again. And yes I can go on and on about how I miss the fun times I had in CJ. No matter, I'm meeting you guys on Sunday! :)

Oh wait that's tomorrow. Haha.

Let me speak metaphorically again.

The circular shapes of the changing room seem to be manifested from a myraid of tantrums and emotions. Perhaps art in itself is not something that can be created, but formed from a spectrum of different entities. A hybrid, perhaps?

We're Beautiful, and Dirty Rich.

2009-07-01T23:52:00.002+08:00

It's really strange what a cold can do to you.

It makes your head feel really big and heavy, like it's just going to drop off if you don't use your neck muscles to hold it up.

This cold just makes me feel really weird. It's not really something I can explain. It just distorts your entire mood and state of mind in such a way that is totally different and you get a little freaked out by it.

That and the drowsiness of the medication put together... bam!

Anyway, I was thinking of the word 'hybrid' today.

How people can say, 'this thing is a hybrid of this and this'. Makes you kinda wonder, what exactly is originality anyway? I mean, how original does something have to be in order to be considered an original? Aren't almost all things a hybrid of something and something else?

Of course, we're not speaking literally here, like a child is a hybrid of his parents kind of thing.

But more in terms of the arts and stuff. I think that ultimately, unless you can create something that is TOTALLY new, you're considered a hybrid of all the things that inspire you. You are bound to contain certain elements of things in the past. New artists are always going to be compared to the old ones, existing art will be compared to the greats of the past.

It's so hard to come up with something totally original is it?

As long as I'm getting thinner...

2009-06-27T14:36:00.002+08:00

I just feel like blogging! Hahaha.

Anyway, yah, I realised that a lot of the things that I want to write/type here cannot be written/typed.

Yes I'm being very ambiguous.

Ok.. so I was on 3 days MC due to the asthma thingy triggered off by certain fumes, but I'm happy to say that I'm fine now. Monday brings a new adventure of going to work! Haha.

We were talking about poor MJ and his most recent death. It is really tragic, to start so high and to end on such a low note. Haiz, and to think he was on the way to a comeback tour in London. My mom has some strange theory that it could have been suicide due to a failure to perform or something like that.

Right now I'm listening to noisy music and blogging in an erratic, senseless manner.

To take me back, back to a time where things used to be simpler without so many complicaitons. Take me back to the past, where it was just home after school.

Don't want no Paper Gangsta

Scene 1:

Man walks into an empty room, staring at what used to be a home without an excuse, a room without reason.

Man: It's really incredulous what this place has become.

Room: It is, isn't it? To think the dragons and fairies used to inhabit this place.

Man: Yes I'm quite sure I still feel them in here.

Room: That's your own bloody imagination, you twit head. What do you think you are? Some space robot with no legs?

Man: Come to think of it, I do think I am what you have described.

Room: To each his own, my man, to each his own.

Curtain call.

2009-06-26T12:54:00.002+08:00

Michael Jackson dies of heart attack at 50

It's really shocking isn't it?

To all the Michael Jackson fans out there:

If you have not bought a single Michael Jackson album, MAYBE you should now.

More info can be found here.

2009-06-24T23:06:00.001+08:00

Ok GaGa, I'll be seeing you on 12 August.

I hate ulcers. UGH

2009-06-23T21:04:00.000+08:00

Ugh this internet connection is annoying me. I really think we need a new computer technician.

2009-06-21T22:21:00.002+08:00

I just got a call from this girl called Sabrina. Apparently she's raising some sort of awareness for some bank interest rate thing.

Oh and someone (a fellow NSF) gave my number to her! Saying I'll be a good sport and help her out.

I was like, I'm sorry but I think someone is playing a prank on me.

So whoever it is, fess up! Hmph!

2009-06-20T19:11:00.001+08:00

HAHAHAHAHA OMG this is DAMN funny!!!

It's the funniest towards the end. Hahaha

Music download

2009-06-20T12:06:00.004+08:00

Wow. Someone in America was just fined 1.92 million for downloading 24 songs off Kazaa.

The article can be found here.

To everyone who is downloading music, stop!!! Buy albums!!! Yes that means you, ____! Hahaha

2009-06-14T16:09:00.001+08:00

Ugh my red bean soup tastes like durian.

Quarantine

2009-06-14T12:52:00.002+08:00

My sis is coming back this month!

Haha and yes Na I'm sure you're quite scared to be quarantined.

We were talking about it during lunch, and I was imagining this dystopia-ish setting if it were to happen. Like those shows where the whole house is enclosed in a plastic dome, with electrical sensors at our gate that will ring if one of us steps out. And there are people in white suits outside and stuff.

Attention: Quarantined swine flu suspects. Do not attempt to enter or exit

Yes I have heard that I have a very vivid imagination.

2009-06-08T21:22:00.000+08:00

I think I listen to too much GaGa.

2009-06-06T00:04:00.003+08:00

Ok I'm going to blog about the PCD concert.

*Refer to previous post on my thoughts in general towards it*

Yea but I was a little disappointed with the lack of deco and sets. It was basically just a stage with a platform with stairs. It could have been more aesthetically pleasing. Oh and 1 doll (not Nicole) broke her rib and thus could not perform. Unsurprisingly, the show went on.

I just realised it sounds like she broke her rib while performing and the rest didn't care and continued singing LOL. No she broke her rib before the show. Not just before the show but as in like during another show.

Ok if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then never mind you can go suck an egg (quote quote)

-----

I enjoyed Don't Cha the most because I personally feel it was the most well done.

I'm getting really bored trying to narrate the show. Soooo,

Click Here if you want more information. It's pretty much what's described here. Set list wise.

-----

I'm currently in the process of doing up an electronic-inspired skin but I have really incompetent image editing tools at my disposal. Until I can find some way to edit pictures well, this skin will have to do.

Not that I detest this skin or anything, I just feel like creating another.

Hmmm well I fixed the damn music link. Imeem only lets you hear 30 sec previews.

2009-06-04T23:26:00.000+08:00

Aaaaah so good.

I'm so sad it's over.

2009-06-01T11:13:00.001+08:00

I got my com back!!! All is right with the world again!! :) :)

Haha

2009-05-31T23:49:00.002+08:00

Seeing China in a different way...

notebook

2009-05-30T23:03:00.002+08:00

Well the computer guy came today and totally took my computer away. He says there is some problem with the driver and apparently he has to reformat everything. What the heck right. I'm going to lose tons of my stuff zzz.

I'm blogging with my dad's notebook now. Colin and Yixin stayed over and left like about 4 hours ago. My mom was going on and on about the history of turkey during dinnertime. Hahaha.

Anyway, I'll be going to church tomorrow! It's my first time going in like, 2 months I think. I guess I've had one too many late Saturday nights. I'm also rather bored with this skin. I think I'll change it again when I get my computer back.

Aaah I really miss my com. I miss all my stuff!!!

To think I took off on Monday just so I could use my com. And now I have to find some other thing to do. Sounds so geeky hahaha. Well I wanted a long weekend to rest as well. It's been rather hectic for me lately.

Oh and I went out with the girls to CHIJMES this wed. I didn't know it was such a nice place, honestly. And yeah, hanging out with them really made me miss my JC days, where "all we do is just laugh". Even a few days before the As, I remember us just laughing everyday.

Such great times.

Yeah and of course, meeting up with Matt after not seeing him for so long yesterday really made me miss my sec sch days where we could just hang out at Colin's place after school and totally wasting our time doing dumb stuff. So many crazy and fun moments.

Like my mother would put it, "this are what memories are made of". That's probably why she always encourages me to go out with my friends and not hang around at home. Haha.

I've had to do so much thinking recently, about what my future is going to be like. I guess now that I'm in NS, it sort of serves as a temporary 'pause' in my life. Sort of like a stalling period before I go on to the rest of my life. It's actually something that I'm quite grateful for, because it gives me time to think and decide what I want to do with my life, because I honestly have no clue at this point. It's really ironic that I'm thankful for NS when I was dreading it so much in sec sch and JC.

Life has such unexpected twists doesn't it? I remember Ms Krishnan lecturing us when we were in sec 4 about writing compositions. She said that a good essay has a twist at the end that jolts the reader. And that is so true even to our lives. I would say that an interesting life is one that has many unexpected things turning up at different points. If we were aware of every single thing that happens, what kind of life would that be?

Hmmm.

Baby come back to me...

I hope for interesting things to come. Hopefully positive ones.

2009-05-26T21:19:00.003+08:00

Hmmm.

I heard that Lady GaGa is coming to Singapore. But I've checked SISTIC and her website and there's nothing on it!

Ugh I really hope it's not some low-key thing club appearance or guest appearance or something like that.

Anyway, I can't believe it's only Tuesday. I really can't wait for the weekend to come. Somehow this week seems to crawl by.

AAAAH OSIM and TGIF!!!

2009-05-24T13:31:00.001+08:00

Well well.. it's Sunday afternoon and my com is dead. I have to use my dad's com for now until Nor comes on Tuesday or Wednesday to fix it.

Aaaah.. looks like I'll have to find some way to cope without my computer for the next 2-3 days.

I guess I do need to catch up on my reading and stuff. Can't keep facing the computer 24/7 like I usually do.

Bzzz Bzzz....

Bumble bee. Such a wasted opportunity.

Decisions Decisions

2009-05-19T23:05:00.002+08:00

I'm really not sure what I want to do.

What I want to do for a living and all that.

Sitting in the car today and talking to my parents about what to take in Uni just made everything seem really fast. Law law law media media media.

Should I go the safe but uninteresting path, or the interesting yet risky path?

I thought last time that army would really give me time to think about what I want to do with my life but it seemed to have come so quickly. I'm already close to 5 months into army and I still have no clue what to do.

All I know is, I'm not going to do a job that I hate. I'm not going to spend 30-40 years of my life doing something that I hate for more money.
Then again, maybe I don't have to choose so soon. Maybe soon something will happen and help me to choose.

Oh but my hair has grown! Haha.

What to do, what to do... what..to...do.

I really what's going to happen during this 1 year and 7 months... Maybe life changing, maybe not?

Hmmmm...

How did we get here?

2009-05-17T18:45:00.003+08:00

Coldplay's giving out a free album on their website!!

http://www.coldplay.com/lrlrl/lr.html

Go download it if you're a Coldplay fan.
I am! Haha.

Anyway, the past week just zoomed by! Time really flies when you're in SCC busy doing stuff. People all think 'so slack' when I tell them my vocation but they don't realize that it's actually a lot of work. So much that time goes by so quickly.

Lights will guide you home...

Hai.

Do I choose to be happy? :P

Anywhere

2009-05-15T22:34:00.001+08:00

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me, and
Dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be halfway to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

Ma ma ma ma

2009-05-09T23:52:00.003+08:00

Had time to contemplate and think today.

As usual, it was on the way back home. I spent the whole day out (yay) with my dear friends and finally went back at around 10.

I was just thinking about how fast things fade. How some things dies and crumples while the immaterial lasts forever.

I'm going by my definitions.

There are some things that are maybe not destined for you?

Maybe I have to rethink my priorities and stop hankering after things that I know do not last.

I detest mind games.

Hello...

2009-05-06T20:54:00.001+08:00

Quirky.

2009-05-05T22:56:00.003+08:00

Ok so the weather is back to being psychotic again.

Aaaah it felt like I walked into a pau steamer (heh) when I stepped out of the building today.

Madness.

Anyway, it was fun meeting up with Mel again on Sunday. We ate salt ice cream at Sushi Tei which is actually very nice! Yea you should all go try it. It has this slight salt taste but actually tastes mostly of butter. I'm not sure if it IS actually butter, but oh well.

Oh and I bought headphones! Yup I remember reading somewhere that it's better for the ears as compared to earphones which project the sound directly into your ears. I heard of these canalphones which dig right into the hidden places of your ear and play music there. Quite insane if you ask me. I don't want to be deaf when i'm 50!

Haha and Vig called me just now telling me all about his army life. He was saying how time really passes by slowly in BMT. I totally agreed with him on that. I remember during my first 2 weeks time seemed to just DRAG and it seemed as though I was never going to book out.

So glad to be out of Tekong and back to Singapore. Haha.

Oh and lunch today was fun. We were very blessed to be in the presence of Bryan and Luqman. Hahaha.

Anyway, I was thinking about this very cliche and commonly used phrase 'actions speak louder than words'.

It really seems like we can't trust what people say nowadays huh? You sometimes hardly know whether it's a half truth, complete lie, an exaggeration, an understatement, etc

So how then are we sure of people and what kind of character they are? Their actions of course.

'actions speak louder than words'

It's really such a simple and overly used phrase, but it contains so much truth. We should always assess people by what they do, and compare it with what they say. We can say things so easily but not do them.

Hmmm.

Let's play a lovegame..

The climb

2009-04-29T18:20:00.004+08:00

It's the climb...

Just ended esilk course. I manged to talk to this other guy and this DX aunty. Hahaha.

Anyway I bought Katy Perry's One Of The Boys. Not bad lar but I really love Waking Up In Vegas and Thinking Of Me is growing on me.

Lalala yay another 4 day week. I love long weekends!!

To Michele, Luo Er, Corinne, Cheryl: When when when are we all going to meet again.

AUGHH I just chocked on bubble tea pearls!

Dots.

2009-04-28T19:37:00.003+08:00

Shampoo in the eye REALLY hurts.

I was like AURHGHGHA AAAAAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Goodness and it's still red now. Oh well, I haven't eaten dinner yet so maybe food will help me ease the pain.

*Cynical laughter*

2009-04-26T20:21:00.002+08:00

HAHA I was watching this and it suddenly stopped. Damn hilarious,

STRESS

2009-04-24T22:34:00.002+08:00

AAAH work is getting so stressful now.

Dannie and Pei Hao have left. And I had to man the orderly all by myself! With tons of work to do!

I just hope that it gets better and I'll be able to complete my tasks on time.

I'm just so glad for this weekend to unwind and get ready to be full steam ahead.

Gotta cut my hair tomorrow!

2009-04-20T21:49:00.002+08:00

Me: Isn't it ironic that prostitution is illegal in the US but legal in Singapore?

Jan: It's legal in Singapore meh?

Me: Er yea.

Mom: Yes but solicitation is illegal. They'll do something about it to control the spread of diseases.

Me: What, so you have to register to become a hooker?

"Hi I would like to sell my body."

"Ok sign this form."

2009-04-19T14:45:00.003+08:00

Aaaaah the weather's killing me!!

Yesterday was a real scorcher. My whole back was drenched with sweat just from sitting at the computer playing dota. Ok it COULD have been the excitement of the game that made me sweat so much but it was probably the heat.

Buuut, as much as I complain about hot weather, I'm not too fond of extremely cold weather. Especially when I'm not prepared for it like the recent China trip. Peter says he's fond of cold weather, and I'm like, ok enjoy eating your frozen German food and beer.

That's money honey..

The relatives came over last night because it was my aunty's return from Australia. I heard from Aunty Judy that her little grandson had a gigantic bump on his head after diving from the table onto the floor. She went to the toilet, and within that short period of time he had climbed up the table and nosedived onto the floor. It must have been really traumatising to see a little 2 year old with this giant sized thing on his forehead, crying away. He had to be sent to the hospital for an X-ray and all that and thankfully the doctor said that there was no brain damage. Hopefully he'll be able to do well for PSLE. Lol.

I just realised I'm typing in chunky paragraphs!

Hahaha cannot cannot.

Must type

like

this.

Oh

but

there's

nothing

else

to

type.

Ok

bye.

2009-04-16T22:14:00.002+08:00

Wow this video is owning youtube.

I can't embed it but can only provide the link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY&feature=related

It's insane! It got 12 mil views in about 5 days! Also, there are multiple videos of it and most of them occupy youtube's "most popular today" list.

Oh and it's Susan Boyle from Britain's Got Talent. She's this 47 year old singing sensation.

Watch it! It's worth it!

Kbox

2009-04-14T23:07:00.002+08:00

Kbox-ing is fun!

Haha although this was a different experience from my usual kbox-ing, it was nevertheless fun, just in a different way. Still crazy though.

PPC's ok I guess. Learning about counselling others is fine but I would rather do work hahaha.

I probably won't be saying that in a few months when work starts becoming a drudge, but oh well! I shall live for the moment hahaha.

Anyway, I've bought a few albums over the past month and they're all fantastic!

1. The Fame
2. All I Ever Wanted
3. Fearless

Yes yes yes very mainstream very mainstream. Haha but that's me!

Yeap. I would recommend anyone to buy any of the above albums. Except most people don't buy albums anymore :(

Ok gotta go sleep!

Haha

2009-04-09T22:17:00.002+08:00

Work's getting more interesting day by day..

Hearing things here and there and having to process it through the endless filters.

Can't read my, can't read my..

Hmmm well I guess I'm more or less settled down at the place where I'm going to spend the rest of my 2 years in. I'm coming out of my shell, and emerging like a phoenix from the ashes.

HAHAHAHAHA OMG.

That was so retarded lol.

Ok anyway, I'm so glad for this long weekend. I really need time to catch up on my sleep. I used to get all my extra sleep during econs and GP lectures in JC. In BMT, there would usually be time to get some naps. In SCC, there really isn't time or any opportunities to do so! The most sleep I've caught is a 15 min snooze at the back of the training room. (To whoever from SCC who's reading this, I'm sure you have done it too!)

Truthfully, I'm actually very thankful that I got posted to SCC. I see the rest being posted as mechanics and storemen and I'm like omg thank you thank you. So whatever it is, I must strive not to complain about any mishaps that might happen during my stay in SCC.

Like what Matt says, "Ok that was very Ms Universe."

"I personally believe..."

Hahahaha.

YAY IT'S RAINING!

That means I'll be able to sleep well tonight. Oh but I have to wake up early tomorrow for Good Friday service. Oh wells. I'll sleep when I come back. Maybe. Haha.

Oh and Decode by Paramore is really addictive.

How did we get here?

2009-04-05T15:32:00.002+08:00

Aaaaah the weekends passed by so quickly. It's already Sunday, 335pm.

Buuuuut, next week's a 4 day work week!!! :) :)

Hahahaha that's really something to look forward to.

Anyway, I've always wondered if someone could be perpetually high and crazy without resorting to artificial stimulants. Like permanently on drugs but without the drugs. If that makes sense hahaha.

Anyway, we went crazy at Kbox again. Yelling and making a complete fool of ourselves as usual. I think if we were taped down, (which I think we actually were) they could use the tape for treating depression or something.

It's such a huge contrast to the other people at kbox. They were just sitting harmlessly in their seats and singing along to tame chinese songs while we're like caged animals in the other room.

I was telling Colin that our pictures would probably be pasted in every kbox in Singapore with the label "BANNED" on it. He was like yea and our pictures would probably be the screen shots from the security camera with our screwed up faces and jumping in mid air.

Ma Ma Ma Mamasan.

Hahahahahahaha.

Oh and one of the hilarious parts of the day was going to Toys R Us and seeing the creepy doll with self blinking eyes.

"If that thing looks at me at night I'll just freak out."

Ok I patiently awaiting my hair to grow back.

Until then,

Let it rock!

Ok that has no relation to my previous statement but I just had to add that in that song rocks!!

Hahahaha.

Ok bye.

New Skin

2009-04-04T01:01:00.003+08:00

All right. Here's the new skin. Finally. I spent like over 3 hours doing the damn collage.

It's a collage of most of my favourite albums and singles.

Just Dance is currently my favourite song, so it'll occupy the middle spot.

When my favourite song changes, then I'll change the pic.

Until then, enjoy! I hope this is better on your eyes, Peter and Luo Er. Hahaha

BOring...

2009-04-03T20:48:00.002+08:00

*A scene at lunch time

Daniel: What hobbies do you guys have?

Neng Hao: Stoning and stuff.

Me: Oh I capture insects and dissect them.

*Silence*

Me: I'm kidding!

*Silence continues*

OMG no one gets me there!!!

Beautiful Dirty Rich

2009-04-01T20:25:00.002+08:00

Bang Bang, we're beautiful and dirty rich.

Aahh so ends another day at work.

Yes I call it work, not NS. Haha.

Somehow, I feel like I'm drifting around and still trying to adjust to life in SCC. I'm not fully myself yet but I think I'm slowly making the transition. I guess it really takes time for me to warm up to people and THEN blast my real self. LOL.

Like most of them say, first impressions count a lot. So, if I went in there all "WOOHOO!", people would probably most likely be turned off. Hmm.

Anyway, to whoever is wanting to buy army supplies, do NOT go to beach road. I think everything there's a total rip off.

I went there to buy my no.3 pants, and..

1) The guy gave me the wrong size even though I asked him "Is this 32?". (It turned out to be 33)

2) Wrong colour. Mine were green when it was supposed to be brown.

3) Design wrong.

I wasted quite a sum of money buying them so please don't make the same bimbotic mistake that I did!

Anyway, I think that whoever has not bought Lady GaGa's The Fame should just stop wasting time and buy it! It's a fantastic album!

Mmm Mmmm Mmm Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

AAAH

2009-03-26T22:04:00.004+08:00

*Phone vibrates*

*1 Message Recieved*

"Hi Chris, I found something interesting to earn extra income during tis RECESSION. Visit www.free28.com or call 62341892 for more info. cheers"

*Types back: "I'm not Chris"

OMG DOES THE WHOLE WORLD HAVE MY NUMBER???

P.S Don't go to the website I hve a feeling it has a virus or smth.

The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face

2009-03-24T21:44:00.004+08:00

Unit life is quite ok so far!

Much better than BMT I would say. Other than the fact that I get to go home everyday, unit life is definitely much better than BMT is so many different ways. I'll not list them out cos it's pretty obvious.

I was telling the rest how ironic it was that I was the only one who had a chance to get promoted to 3SG. Hahahahaha.

If I do, and I think I will, I'll get higher pay! :)

Anyway, there's really pretty much nothing to blog about except for unit life. The people there are nice and pretty friendly so I think I'll adjust well.

The bad thing is that I wear CV there but change into No.4 upon arrival and back to CV again when I leave because I want to listen to music on the way there and back. I heard it's not allowed in uniform so I'm not Taking Chances like Celine Dion.

Taking Chances is out in stores now.

Ok I don't know what the lame advert was for. That album was so last year. Haha.

Okie I better sleep early. Seeya!

Ends

2009-03-22T13:18:00.002+08:00

So ends my much deserved block leave. Haha and I think that this is the only time that I will actually have such free time.

I begin my 'actual' army life tomorrow.

Probably because BMT seemed like a daze. What I mean is, the moment I entered Tekong, it seemed as though I went into this shut off mode.

It's like I dove into the water and surfaced on weekends. While I'm underwater I just drift around and play with the seaweed or something. I'm not really myself but like in a daze.

Kinda weird huh?

Anyway, I really have to make use of these 2 years and whatever time I have to do something productive at least.

Like blog more. Lol.

Suddenly, Martin's many plans of like, taking tennis lessons or something seem quite attractive. Hmmmm.

Maybe I should take up another language or something to make myself "worth more in the workplace".

HAHAHAHA YEA RIGHT.

You spin my head right round right round

Blah. It's 1:35pm and I have no idea what to do.

Maybe I'll rewatch the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy.

Hmmm...

Norah

2009-03-21T22:01:00.002+08:00

Listening to Norah Jones is really therapeutic...

My heart is drenched in wine...

You can just feel yourself sitting down at a nice hotel lobby and listening to her playing the piano and singing her lovely melodies.

Well I'm talking about her first album. The one which got all the Grammys and sold 10 mil albums in the USA.

Her other albums weren't as good somehow.

Ah well..

Tells a tale of grace...

RA

2009-03-20T12:15:00.002+08:00

Woots. I've been posted to CMPB as a research assistant!

Well ok not CMPB exactly but Depot camp la.

I'm quite satisfied because I got a stay out vocation. Yay!

Ok I better stop my celebration here cos some people got sucky postings.

:)

Wrong number #2

2009-03-17T17:51:00.003+08:00

*Phone Rings*

Me: Hello?

Caller: *mutters something*

Me: Sorry?

Caller: *mutters same thing*

Me: I think you got the wrong number

Caller: Ok ok.

Is my number really that nice to call??

Bad throat

2009-03-17T12:17:00.002+08:00

Ugh.... my throat feels like utter crap.

I just spat out a wad of greenish phlegm into the sink this morning after I woke up.

UGH!

That, is obviously a sign of throat infection. Damn it! It must be like the last bad thing that Tekong has given me.

Anyway, I had a great time yesterday celebrating Martin's birthday. Tiring, yes, but lots of fun. Going crazy at Billy Bombers and Harry's was definitely something that I have not done in a long time. I spent a lot of money though. Zzz. It's something that's going to come out of my pay.

I realised that I have been waking up later and later each day. Which is really bad! I must resolve to sleep and wake up earlier. After all, Zhao xui zhao qi shen ti hao.

If you didn't get that, it literally means "Early sleep early wake up body good." It's probably the only thing I remember about primary school Chinese lessons. (other than Matt vandalizing on the pictures on the Chinese textbooks).

Ok Martin's nagging me to play dota. So I'm off!

Wrong Number

2009-03-15T12:37:00.001+08:00

*Phone rings*

Me: Hello?

Caller: Hello may I speak to Ying Ying please?

Me: Sorry what?

Caller: May I speak to Ying Ying?

Me: Errr.. Sorry I think you got the wrong number.

Caller: Can't be leh. This isn't the pet shop business?

Me: Err no.

Caller: Oh sorry.

Since when did I open a pet shop? Most of my pets don't even last a year.

Vig's house

2009-03-13T15:04:00.004+08:00

Haha I'm blogging from Vig's house right now. He and Ah Pie are playing Fear 2 on Xbox with great enthusiasm while I sit at his computer and blog hahaha.

We're patiently awaiting the arrival of Yuslina Aziz as well as Shermaine Chek before we play guitar hero/rock band. Too bad the people who are working can't join but oh well.

Anyway, I just upgraded my computer and the RA3 graphics are SO much better! Everything is so much more detailed. Too bad I played finish the campaign already ugh...

Ho hum. I'll blog more when I'm back.

Wow

2009-03-11T21:25:00.003+08:00

Wow I just had like, the best day ever...

First I reached the company line only to find out that I didn't need to report for guard duty. Then, my sergeant told me to catch the 4pm ferry. I reached there only to find out that the next ferry that I could board was 8pm. When I reached there at 8pm, the sergeant on duty, who was from my company told me,

"Actually you can book out earlier one. Who told you 8pm?"

So now I sit at my computer, thinking about the WONDERFUL day that I just had. It has been such a great day! :) :) :)

Because Of You

2009-03-10T23:14:00.004+08:00

Looking at certain things really brings back memories.

Not really good memories, although partially good, but mainly bad memories. Memories of foolishness and naivety, of dilemmas and needless worries.

I've made many silly mistakes in the past. Although it sometimes brings a smile on my face as to how utterly... weird I was (although I still am hahaha), these are memories that I do not really wish to revisit.

I'm glad that I've moved past it though. It's really been so long.

Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget...

I feel like walking in the fields, walking through the long, golden grass with no direction. To just walk on and on, emptying my mind of unnecessary thoughts... mainly bad thoughts. Because I really don't want to revisit the past, even though I inevitably will.

Light up, light up,

Food.

as if you have a choice.

Disguise.

Even if you cannot hear my voice,

Footprints.

I'll be right beside you dear.

Message.

Louder, louder, and we'll run for our lives

Guilt.

I can hardly speak I understand

Melancholy

Why you can't raise your voice to say.

-----

Guard duty tomorrow really sucks. To go back to that island again when I was all set to leave. Sob. At least it's a 12 hour shift not a 24 hour one.

Regardless, I better sleep soon.

:)

2009-03-08T18:08:00.002+08:00

Peter asks me to switch to livejournal so he can keep track.

But I don't want to switch to livejournal! I like blogspot! (I hope they're reading this) I love customizing my blog and switching themes from time to time (for those who have been so ignorant not to notice).

So Peter I guess your answer is no (for the time being).

Anyway, I'm POC-ing in 2 days! :) :) :) I'm also booking in in 2 hours, but that's besides the point. I'm going to look on the bright side.

Haha I just told Zen that I'm passing out on Tuesday and he was like

zenata says:
u wAD?!
zenata says:

«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:

«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:

zenata says:

«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:

«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:

Anyway, I've been contemplating a career in journalism. I've always wanted to get into the mass media in some way, like dig my claws into people's minds.

My dear parents told me to take law, probably in the UK, then from there I can branch out to do many other things.

"Just because you study law doesn't mean you have to practice law."

At first I thought they were just trying to trick me into taking over the firm. Then I realised that my parents aren't that devious. I think. Anyway, my mother was telling me to contemplate journalism since she has been a journalist before and has a friend who currently works in SPH.

"It's an exciting life."

I always told myself never to get a boring, routine job that will end up with my death from boredom. So journalism began to get more interesting.

"The pay is good too."

Then suddenly, for some unknown reason, journalism became very, very attractive.

Just kidding. Lol.

As in about the money thing. I'm not really obsessed about money. My friends who CONSTANTLY BORROW MONEY AND HAVE NOT RETURNED should know that.

Blah blah blah yak yak yak

Ok bye I gotta book in. Hahahaha.

A levels

2009-03-07T01:26:00.002+08:00

The results are out!

History: A
Literature: B
Econs: B
GP: B
Maths : E

I was absolutely elated when I received my results. Seriously. I was expecting THE WORST. Especially for Econs cos I got a U for it for my prelims I think. I just did really badly for prelims. I think my score was USD or SSD or smth like that.

I nearly hyperventilated when I saw an A for History. Hahahaha. Mel can definitely attest to that. She was like "Sam relax!" haha.

Well of course Maths is a real bummer but oh well I don't really care because I did well for my arts related subjects so that's all that matters to me.

I guess I was so overjoyed because most people thought I was bumming around when I was actually mugging my ass off, especially for History and Econs after prelims. Also cos I did so badly for prelims that I thought I dug a hole so deep that nothing could drag me out. Haha. And I already mentally prepared myself to expect the worst and even rehearsed what to message my parents should my results be disastrous.

Ah well. A levels are finally done and over with.

Now to move on to the next phase of life.

Bring it on.

Book In

2009-02-15T16:20:00.002+08:00

Haiz... I have to book in.

Yesterday was a totally jammed packed day. I was out the whole day. It was really awesome to be in civilization with my family and friends again. I came home exhausted and collapsed to bed.

Sigh...

It's such a gloomy day today.

Really can't wait for BMT to be over. Zzz.

I'm Back!!

2009-02-14T10:55:00.002+08:00

I'm using my dad's computer now cos my damn computer just died on me!!

And yes I finally booked out.

I was like, looking forward to using my computer but it suddenly started restarting and I couldn't even go to windows.

Damn it!

Oh well at least I'll be out for most of today.

Hmm well what to say about army. It's ok I guess. You can't be more slack than PES C.

Unless you're in PES E. Which means you're a clerk.

I can only say that I have never been SO glad to be home. Maybe except during the most recent China trip.

The worst part is booking in again on Sunday. Sob sob.

Haiz. Oh well.

I really hope that most of these posts won't be just about army cos I don't want my life to revolve around more than it already does!

Freedom...

Everyone's Going To War

2009-01-27T22:54:00.002+08:00

I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine,
He said he's waited his whole damn life for this,
I knew him well when he was seventeen,
Now he's a man who'll be dead by Christmas.

And, so...
Everybody's going to war,
But we don't know what we're fighting for,
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause,
No cause could be so worthy.

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober,
If hope is a song I guess it's all over,
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die...
Running out through the door and straight to the sky,
I don't want to die...

For every man who wants to rule the world,
There'll be a man who just wants to be free,
What do we learn but what should not be learnt?
Too late to find a cure for this disease.

So...
Everybody's going to war,
But we don't know what we're fighting for,
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause,
No cause could be so worthy.

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober,
If hope is a song, I guess it's all over,
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die...
Running out through the door, and straight to the sky,
I don't want to die...
I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I
don't want to die,
I-I don't want to die...

So...
Everybody's going to war,
But we don't know what we're fighting for,
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause,
No cause could be so worthy.

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober,
If hope is a song, I guess it's all over,
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die...
Running out through the door, and straight to the sky,
I don't want to die...
don't want to die,
I-I don't want to die...

I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine,
I think he might be dead by Christmas...

Flawed

2009-01-27T11:41:00.002+08:00

I realised that I have a flaw that really needs to be worked out.

It's this tendency for me to cancel on stuff at the last minute even though I've already said I would do it or that I would go to a certain place.

I've pissed people off and all with this so to all those whom I've pissed off whether be it in the past or the near present, I'm sorry.

And I'm trying to change.

Anyway, tmr's the day!

I'm still feeling kinda strange but I'm just glad my cough has subsided. Hope it doesn't come back again.

Finally

2009-01-25T23:47:00.002+08:00

Well I'm finally updating after such a long time.

I have this terrible cough at this moment and I still have barely some voice. It's like all of a sudden I lost my voice. It's very strange. Very strange indeed. Anyhow, all the relatives are downstairs gambling their lives away. Hahaha.

Oh yea Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! :)

Well well well it's only 2 more days to D-Day. The first D-Day. Second one's probably sometime in February. I guess I'm a nervous BUT yes.. I am excited as well. I'm entering another phase of my life. A 2 year one. According to Weilie the first 2 weeks will seem like the longest 2 weeks of your life. Hahaha. Unfortunately for me, I think it'll be more than 2 weeks. It will probably be like 2 weeks and 2 days, because I enlist on a Wednesday.

I would blog about China but it just seems like a distant memory. Hahaha.

It was an ok trip. Would have enjoyed it more if I had more warm clothing with me and without any food poisoning.

Oh the food poisoning. Yea that was like really really bad.

And NO I did not drink milk, like a whole glass of milk or something. The amount of milk I drank would probably add up to like 1/24 of a glass or something because it was all from the chocolate that I ate there. Dove chocolate.

I'm going to cut my hair on tuesday, probably at some Malay barber (Hope they're open), cos I don't want to make a bad first impression with my crazy hair hahaha. I'm more worried about meeting people more than anything. I just hope that the people there would be easy to click with and I would have a pleasant 7 weeks in BMT.

Well life's been good so far, I can't really complain.

We'll just see how the rest of the year goes I guess.

Blogskin change

2009-01-22T13:27:00.001+08:00

Okokok I know I haven't blogged in ages.

AND my skin is REALLY outdated cos Christmas is over.

I'll get it done before I enlist!

Tired

2009-01-17T14:22:00.000+08:00

Ok I will update soon.

And change the skin.

But i'm still recovering from the damn food poisoning so it'll take some time.

In the meantime...

Phone China blogging

2009-01-14T14:29:00.002+08:00

Omg i'm blogging from my phone in China in a bus!

It's difficult and expensive so this'll be quick.

I REALLY miss Singapore a LOT! I honestly can't wait to get back.

Many photos to come! Ciao!

Massive cleanup

2009-01-05T18:01:00.004+08:00

Massive cleanup

Ok I finally decided to clean up my room after goodness knows how many years.

Before cleanup:

Ok it doesn't look very messy but it IS. Trust me. It's this gigantic mess that has accumulated after a VERY long time.

During the clean up of my room, I came across many items that I've really forgotten about.

Made me reminisce a little...

Class photo from 2007. We all really looked WEIRD back then.

Haha these are some more memories from J1. The chinese textbook and chinese class! I remember falling asleep during chinese class while Lau Shi would rant away and keep calling "Mei Yi", "Yi ling"

Books from secondary school. Goodness. I can't believe I haven't trashed these yet. Hahaha. Maybe I'll pass it to whosoever is teaching SS now.

More relics from sec sch. I recall all the lit lessons that I went through before Os. Now even As are done and over with.

Gift vouchers for Popular! Hahaha our class won this for dunno what thing and I still have them. Hope they haven't expired yet.

Luo Er's free hugs thing. I remember her giving this out last year. Haha.

Cheryl's passion fruit body spray thingy. "Now we can all smell the same!"

Michele's card from last year!

More relics from sec sch.

HAHAHAHAHA I remember this! This was my birthday gift. Colin just grabbed random pics from the past and made it into a tabloid style magazine cover with notes inside.

This is the big stack of 8 Days and Newsweek that I've accumulated from over the years. It's gone now, thankfully.

I'm sure many people will remember this. Hahahahaha

This is a bag of medicine from one of my polyclinic visits this year. I shan't elaborate further. Heh.

First 3 months! This ugly thing was used to borrow books. Hahaha.

This... is the result of an hour of cleaning. I trashed most of my stuff, well obviously not the important ones.

After. PHEW!

It didn't take very long to clean up the mess that was my room. But it was definitely worth it. It was something that I've been procrastinating for very long that I FINALLY decided to do it.

Dinner at Matt's house.

2009-01-03T17:39:00.008+08:00

Dinner at Matt's house

Had an impromptu dinner at Matt's house yesterday. We each prepared a dish and completely wrecked the kitchen. We were quite clueless as to what to make but in the end Matt made pumpkin soup, Colin made cake, Yixin made salad, and I made burgers (cos it's the only thing I know how to cook).

Patties being shaped before dumping into the Wok. They kinda look like intestines

Patties being cooked. They smelled really good.

Yixin the maid chopping onions. Hahahaha.

Group shot - Colin

All in all, I really had a good time. It has been quite awhile since I've been to Matt's house. We played his Wii, which had Wii Sports. According to Stephanie, his mom played that game till about 2am. Hahaha.

Shuttle service begins on Monday

JOHOR BARU: The Johor Bahru-Singapore shuttle train service will start operations on Monday and provide travellers with an alternative way of transportation.

Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul G hani Othman said the service would ease congestion at the new Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex.

Introductory tickets are priced at RM3 each from the mall to Tanjung Pagar station in Singapore and S$3 return. There will be five trips daily between 5.30am and 8.08pm from Johor Baru and 5.35am and 10pm from Singapore.

Although I don't go to Johor very often, people going there would definitely reap the benefits from this rail. No more congestions!

Dinner

2009-01-02T14:36:00.003+08:00

Ok just thought I would type a short post before I head off to Matt's house to prepare for dinner.

Gosh it's been so long since the 4 of us actually sat down and had dinner. Hahaha. Most of the time it's just alcohol alcohol. Hahaha.

Anyway, to those who have school today, I DON'T.

HAHAHAHAHA.

I know my sis would just kill me for rubbing it into her face again.

Oh well!

Ok mainly I just wanted to comment on this:

Facebook's War on Nipples

"Facebook has drawn a line in the sand by removing any photos it deems obscene, including those containing a fully exposed breast, which the site defines as "showing the nipple or areola." In other words, plunging necklines or string bikinis are fine — just no nips. The purging of bare-boob pics began last summer and has swept up, alongside any girls gone wild, a growing number of proud — and very ticked-off — breast feeders."

"On Dec. 27, some 11,000 protesters held a virtual nurse-in by uploading breast-feeding photos onto their Facebook profiles, and 20 or so women showed up at the company's headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., to breast-feed there. By Dec. 30, more than 85,000 members had joined a Facebook group called "Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!""

Hahaha well I guess it would be kinda obscene to put up breastfeeding pictures online. Although there really is nothing wrong with breastfeeding, maybe just restrict the pictures to the pregnancy books eh?

Surgery

2009-01-01T17:22:00.002+08:00

I was looking through Msn Today's news thingy and I came across this section on stars who have had plastic surgery.

This one on Mariah Carey is so funny.

This talented songbird has always been a stunner. But the moment she hit 30, Diva Carey started tweaking to better her countenance. It's very hard to say what Mariah has had done, although there are two prominent features we're sure she's had the builders in for. We've noticed her songs have gotten a lot breathier and it has gotten harder for the diva to hold a note. We hope her new assets aren't the cause.

Hahahahahahahahaha

New Year

2009-01-01T01:11:00.006+08:00

Aaaaah. Happy 2009 :)

2008 is so O-V-E-R!!!

So many crazy things happened and I'm just glad I'm out alive.

It was quite hilarious cos one of the last few things that I saw in 2008 is this:

It was scrawled all over the seat at the bus stop opposite Bowen sec where I change buses to go to church.

What a political NYE!

I couldn't resist taking a picture.

Anyway, 2008 was REALLY an eventful year in so many more ways than one. Some truly life changing.

Losses and gains.

Probably more losses than gains actually.

But THIS was definitely one of the hilarious moments of this year. HAHAHA. Sorry Yixin, but I have to advertise your hair. Hahahaha.

Anyhow, I think I can just breathe a huge sigh of relief that it's over. Onward to 2009!

2009 will be a fantastic year. It better be.

And I'm just glad I didn't end the year doing something I would regret doing.

News of the day:

New Year Delayed by Extra Second

"Revellers ushering in 2009 will have to literally wait a second this New Year's Eve. The world's official timekeepers are adding a "leap second" to the final day of the year to help match clocks to the Earth's spin."

"The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) has to occasionally add an extra second to keep our clocks in sync with solar time used by astronomers. That's because, sometimes, the Earth's rotation on its axis can take longer or shorter than 24 hours, depending on factors such as the breaking action of tides, snow or the lack of it at the polar ice caps, solar wind, space dust and magnetic storms."

"The U.S. Naval Observatory, keeper of the Pentagon's master clock, said it would add the extra second on Wednesday in coordination with the world's atomic clocks at 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC."

Cool huh!

Christmas Party

2008-12-29T01:20:00.008+08:00

CJ friends Christmas celebration at my house!

Haha I must say I had a wonderful time. It was such great fun seeing them again :) I was SUPPOSED to give them Christmas cards but I did them at the last minute and it was way too ugly so I decided not to.

We had great food, great music, and most importantly, great company. We played Charades then some drinking game that Vig taught us.

Some hilarious convos: (I shall not name who's involved but you can probably guess it. Hahahaha)

"Football clubs."

"Manchester."

"David Beckham."

"Drink!"

-----

"The Beatles!"

"*Names some Beatles song."

"Ladybug."

"Drink!"

----

"The game is more fun when people are high."

"Aiyah she not high also like that already."

Hahaha I shall leave you to guess who.

Ok photos!

I had an awesome time.

We REALLY have to do this again.

Must!

Is Sleeping Good for the Heart?

"For those who are always looking for an excuse to sleep in, or sleep more, your search is not in vain: According to new research, hours spent sleeping protects against calcium deposits in the coronary arteries -- the deposits responsible for heart attacks."

"For each additional hour of sleep, the risk of calcification of the coronary arteries decreased by 33 percent -- an outcome equal to reducing blood pressure by 16 point elevations."

Hahahaha now I have an excuse to sleep till 3!!

LOL.

X'mas drowning at Clarke Quay

'TWO divers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force recovered the body of a 32-year-old Singaporean who apparently drowned in the Singapore River at Clarke Quay near Liang Court."

"Mr Tan Beng Sien, had fallen into the river at about 5.30 am and a member of the public called the police."

"Police are treating the case as unnatural death and are investigating said police spokesman Humphrey Sew.

This is the second drowning in the Singapore River in a week."

I guess tragedies happen even on Christmas day. And at Clark Quay too.

Hmmm...

Harrowing rope rescue

"NEWLY-WEDS Eric Ong and Ong Pei Ling had planned a romantic wedding in the sky on the Singapore Flyer yesterday, but their plan was wrecked before they could begin.

A technical glitch about half an hour before the couple and their entourage were to board the Flyer saw it grind to an abrupt halt, with 173 people still on it.

The couple and 26 family members and friends were scheduled to go up at about 5.30pm and ascend to the peak of the 165m-high wheel 15 minutes later where they would exchange their vows.

ONE woman cried while she was being lowered down by a rope from a capsule about eight storeys high. Another kept her eyes tightly shut until her feet touched solid ground before bursting into tears of joy."

The poor couple. It's so ironic that I read that right after I read Luo Er's post on wedding proposals. Looks like she skipped the part about weddings gone wrong! :P

AAAH

Don't hold your breath: iBreath for iPhones and iPods

"It’s called the iBreath, and it’s an alcohol breathalyzer from David Steele Enterprises. Its website describes the $79 gadget “as the ultimate iPod accessory that lets you take your own alcohol breath test so you can get home safely.”

" Opponents fear that the tool will inspire more drinking games than responsible behavior. Fans claim that even the most innocent of objects can be used incorrectly, and that this tool just may save lives."

I personally believe (Miss South Carolina) that it's quite an innovation.

At least some people will know whether they're sober enough to drive and not kill more people.

ZZZ Damn kitchen cupboard!
