the day when i get presents.

first of all, MERRY HOHO CHRISTMAS to one and all!!!
i'm lazy.
to blog about taiwan coz i got 900++ pics to choose from.

since it's christmas, i got presents and they get better every year!!!
i just got back from a party and i should be sleeping but yea...

recently, i worked in mummy's office on mon and tues with joel, really fun but tiring.
and went out with brandon, cheryl, shermaine and joel for shopping and dinner.
haha, it's really been long since everyone got together like this.
and since we like doing stupid things.....
we ate some restaurant, then a waitress named irene took our orders.
so after we finished, we all said "thank you irene" altogether.
haha, and after a while, the waiter who gave us the bill was named daniel.
so i went "hey daniel, thanks for the bill."

anyway, i got FOB's folie a deux, so far so good, have yet to listen to every song though.

a year ago, we had a christmas sleepover.
lasted one night, filled with presents, laughter and funny stuff.
heidi, fiona, tim, shiwee, riz and joshua were there,
we had stuff to eat,
tricked tim twice,
watched movies,
and the first to sleep had to drink water from the elastic reservoir.
but most importantly,
it was so much fun,
and i wish there were more days,
where the few of us,
so far apart,
can come again once again again and again,
to celebrate what we achieved and kept close in times where everything seemed to fall,
friendship.

oh, you were there too, at least you won't go now.

FUN TAIWAN

BLOGGING FROM TAIWAN.
hahahahahaha,
i'm currently at this four star hotel called WONSTAR(onestar) hotel. XD
i've just finished my 1500km journey all over taiwan in 5 days and i'm happy about it.
lol, i bought A LOT A LOT of things, so many that i think we needa get one more lauggage bag soon.
bag, shoes, bling, fragrances, food, clothing.....
so basically, i'm gonna reach s'pore on a saturday night.
btw, my hotel is in taipei.
took lots of pics too.
okok, anyway, i'm gonna blog more when i get back.
cheers everyone! :D
ps: i got gifts for ppl.

7 days.

It's gonna be a long post, so get ready.

MONDAY 1/12/2008
First day of guitar camp, and everyone reported to the room at 8 in the morning.
I brought tons of stuff (mostly) junk and hope it would be of use.
So anyway, the camp was a training camp, and it is really tiring, but can't be helped because of our christmas concert and lack of time.
Basically, we practised the first day, and when it was 5, we went to get ready for was to come in the night.
6 classes, 1 for boys, 2 for girls, 1 for exco, 2 for miscellaneous stuff(like practice rooms)
lol, nicholas brought his laptop to play left for dead, and it's a WOW game.
8:30, we all reported to the foyer with our guitars and scores, and prepared to perform.
clarence and i played "retrace" by anberlin and "little wonders" by rob thomas.
THEN, after the performance, we went to the room to play karaoke party on heather's laptop, had fun singing to songs like "don cha" by PCD, "womanizer" by Britney Spears.
lol, us guys had to strain our voices until we sounded like gays.
i brought out my junk, which were mainly light sticks and chips, handed to everyone for fun.
then during the gift exchange, everyone thought my present looked like a watermelon wrapped in newspaper, but little did they know that it was actually rootbeer.
lol, i got a singing teddy bear from elizabeth.
i think i slept after that. XD

TUESDAY 2/12/2008
woke up at 5 to make water bombs,
then practice as usual.
basically, we practised for 10.5 hours, all the way into the night.
and in the middle, we had our wet games, really fun! haha, yee en is the most suay, because out of the 10+ bombs that she threw in my direction, less than half of it hit me, the rest rolled off my body.
pei ying and elizabeth ATTEMPTING to carry the whole dustbin of water bombs that were made in the morning.

Me after the morning.

WEDNESDAY 3/12/2008
This day was only half a day, we invited SAC over to play with us, and we practised till 12 then went home. HOME.

THURSDAY 4/12/2008
Had to reach school by 12, then took a bus to ACJC for their concert rehersal.
haha, i don't wanna elaborate on that day because today was pretty much the same.

FRIDAY 5/12/2008
HAD TO REACH SHCOOL BY 8:45!!!
lol, for a SYF mock audition, and safe to say, i pass!!! which means i don't have to take the real auditions, but still i should keep improving.
Until 12, we had to put up the decorations and stuff, so i was running errands, and helping out a lot.
When all the schools came, we were a bit late for the rehersal.
still, managed to pull off everything.
lol, i made loads of friends these few days, and i wanna thank my friends and family for coming to the concert to support me.




NOW, i am extremely tired, and exhausted all over my aching body.
i'm leaving for taiwan tomorrow people, won't be back till 13, please don't call me and i have to say that i'm in taiwan. XD
night.

I miss love.

12:44am.
can't sleep and don't know why.
fishing later today at 7am, excited, but i should be sleeping.

i admit.
i miss love.
not referring to a person.
but rather the feeling of being in love.
i watch DECENT couples down the street, eating breakfast together, gazing into one another's eyes, holding hands, talking and laughing about the silliest things that keeps that attraction strong.
and i envy them, because i haven't fell in love for a long time.
probably because i yearn for love, but the thought of losing someone you love even the slightest bit is too painful.
it's tiring and miserable.
but hey, that's a price to pay for love.
i think i gotta be more patient, can't neglect my studies now.

"Lucky" by Jason Mraz feat. Colbie Caillat
is making me feel nostalgic.

then again, what can i do to not miss love? hmm, if anyone finds an answer, please tell.

i just bought jason mraz, keane and slipknot's albums today.

guitar grade exam next friday, can't wait to gain some experience.

ugh, and i still can't sleep.
wonder if i'll catch anything big later.....
i'll take pics, that's for sure.

my maid's leaving tomorrow, so it's that time for chores and cooking again.



"oh my, just defying reasons why is an absolutely insane resolution to live by."

one more love song, then bedtime.

It was just how you looked in the light.

UGH.
Tuition from 9:30 to 11:30, rushed down from bugis to school for guitar after that, and guitar ended at 5:30.
Good news, i get to use the school's 1.5K guitar.
but i'll be under-utilising my other guitars. :(

SOANYWAY
hereisthepictureofthestarbuckscups,theoneontheleftistim'sandtheoneontherightismine.XD



yea, can't wait for FOB's new album in Dec.
and i needa save $$ to get stuff from taiwan!
this year, a lot people i know are going taiwan, and i mean a lot.
i'm going on the 6th to 13th.
but i have guitar camp from 1st to 3rd, and two concerts on the 4th and 5th.

OH YEA, PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU WANNA GO FOR tpjc's christmas guitar concert on the 5th of dec in tpjc's auditorium which is FREE for anyone.

ok, i got nothing to do on a friday night.
wow.
i think i'll go eat now.

HIBERNATE

It's been a long time since the last post, mostly because i couldn't find the mood or inspiration to blog. So far the "holidays" were spent going to school, going out with friends, playing PS3, stoning and tuition. Have to say that i kinda miss school days, where you get to see everyone.

These few days, i got time to catch up with the BC.
haha, last sunday, fiona, tim and i went to get heidi's present, which is this "Lovely" perfume by sarah jessica parker.
So tim and i met around 3, and i was stuck watching him do one question of his chem for 2 hours before fiona came. Then we got heidi's present and fiona got us free tickets to this sax concert by Jean Fourmeau with piano acconmpanist Michiyo Haneshi. Haha, i'm gonna leave out some details of the conert.
So anyway, we ate at Bugis junction foodcourt where all of us had beef noodles.
and YES, fiona actually knows that even brown cows can produce milk. XD

Yesterday (Wednesday), Heidi, tim and i met up to help tim with his maths and econs. Fiona couldn't make it. haha, so i met tim first and we grabbed lunch. Then went to starbucks where we settled down to study. I bought a venti size vanilla latte and tim got the same, but tall size.
SO he took a pic of the cup sizes and i don't have it, but will put it up soon!
haha, heidi was 2 hours late for a good reason too, because tim took pretty long to do his maths.
and i passed heidi the perfume, which i wrapped, which is better than someone else's wrapping.
okay, so it got cold and we went outside.
heidi took my phone and spammed it with her face.



haha, and put it on my wallpaper.

so we basically sat there until 7, went to eat dinner at foodcourt(and i had beef noodles again)stayed till 9 and went home.


It's really good to have friends who were with me for 4 years to meet up and are ready to have another eternity of friendship.

haha, and there's still some more things to do!
1)PRAWNING
2)BC SLEEPOVER

Tim: if you read this, please send me the pic of the starbucks cups.


It was tough gripping on, not for me but for us.
We wouldn't let you slip into the trench, but yet you struggled to get in.
At first, we didn't know why, but as it became more evident, we let go,
and we rose.

Rock and Blues.

Even though R&B has died,
it's still alive in me.
I've been listening to a lot of David Tao recently, and love the way he can hit his high notes with lots of tone and depth.
but i can't.
and so, i will refrain from singing his songs, but not playing them.

really really tired these few days,
even now when i'm in front of my com, doing my i&r and blogging, i feel like closing my eyes.
sleeeeeepy.

damn, op dry run tomorrow at 2 or 3, and i'm waking up damn early.
ugh, need sleep.
sleepy sleep.
zzz.

chinese was alright, don't wanna talk about it.

nowadays, i find myself at home with nothing to do.
it's either my friends can't go out, or my parents don't want me out.
but if i'm not out, i find myself rotting at home playing games till i get a splitting headache.
jeez, i need a good rest soon.
some r&r.

"once you find yourself caught deep in the abyss,
you'd scream as the fluid collapse your lungs,
pressure forcing into your body,
crumpling your flesh into a ball.
you see red, and know where it's from,
but you can't help it,
because by now,
you know you're as good as dead."

The day before tomorrow.

so it's tomorrow, the MT A'levels.
it's been lurking all this while and i've never been a bit scared.
why?
because i've done all i can over the year,
so what can I do in exactly a day?
revise.
all that i've learnt.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEL AND JOSEPH.

today, we gave joel his presents.
one was exceptionally exceptional.
and we made him into believing the wildest thing.


ANYWAY

i'm supposed to be revising now.
not really in the mood to blog these few days,
must be the weather.

Maybe you've gone stale.

that naked smile.

ONE FINE DAY.

written report has finally ended, and a whole new chapter of OP and I&R begins.

shermaine just asked me to watch a show on channel 8, about people who change the lives of those unfortunate for the better, and i feel that i've been taking my living conditions for granted.

now, i'm waiting for open office to download because apparently, i only have a trial version of the vista powerpoint on my com. really need to rush on op tomorrow because my dry run is on wednesday.

was planning to go out with heidi, fiona and timothy on saturday, but heidi couldn't make it, so we decided to postpone until after the op period. really hope to see all of you guys soon.

today, i came home early and decided to go cycling, and on my way around pasir ris, i met really unexpected people whose names i will not mention here because it will cause an alarm.


Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy.
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You'd kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror; you're turning into something you are not.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk.
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you've ever had, the best thing that you've ever, ever
had.
It's the best thing that you've ever had; the best thing you've had has gone away.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

"High and Dry" by Radiohead


I've been listening to songs that bring in the nostalgia and city lights,
they've been outside my window and it's these moments that bring me to wonder if i really exist.
Sometimes, i feel dizzy believing that i'm me,
guess i need more confidence in my life.

65% to go....sian

i wonder if i can skip school tomorrow, then can do my op fully.

right before your very eyes.

Love has always been blind.
think:

you always had a crush on someone,
and wished that the person felt the same,
eventually, you get what you want and you're together with that person.
so what?
you fail to predict, anticipate all that has to come,
you fail to keep up with your studies,
you burn a hole in your pocket,
all you do is fight,
and fight,
and fight,
eventually you're on the verge,
and you tell that person: "if you love me, you'll give in".
that person says the same thing too.
and it's all in a circle,
going round and round,
until it breaks down.
then you realise,
you've made the wrong choice.
and you realise,
how blind love can be.

Love is not a word, it is a compilation of many promises and sacrifices.
That is why one shouldn't take love so lightly.

"Love Blind"

the promise of a lifetime.

firstly, i'm dying from pw.
don't wanna talk about that because it makes me sick inside and outside.

secondly, the person who tagged as heidi-hater is such a loser.
haha, let's just call the person IT.
1) IT has no guts to put its own name on my tagboard.
2) IT doesn't even have guts to put it on heidi's tagboard and has to put it on mine instead.
3) IT has no balls.
4) IT thinks IT is very big.
5) IT doesn't even DARE to come FACE to FACE and say that in front of me or heidi.
6) IT has no balls.
7) IT has no guts.
8) IT has no balls.
9) IT is a girl, because of the lack of balls.
so, what i listed is what i can conclude from a simple tag, GP rocks.

okay, so much for IT.

YAY PRAWNING THIS WEEKEND
i seriously can't wait to hold a fishing rod!!!!

i've been listening to lots of jap music nowadays and watching anime.
EYESHIELD 21!!!
super old, but super cool anime.


"and just like that, you drifted off my line"

D-Day

yes, i haven't blogged for a long long time.
because i'm either too busy playing or doing work.
and now, i only got a moment to blog before returning to reality.
PW is so tedious and screwed.

I&R and WR this week.
OP trials next week and the actual is on the 3rd.
MT A'levels on the 30th i think.

gosh, if only i had someone to show me that everything's gonna be okay.
it's like i'm showing many people how everything's fine, but it's not fine myself.

for those who are reading, i think i'll blog soon enough, if not this week then next week or the week after the next....you get the idea.

i need something to keep me awake...


"you played games that only fooled yourself, hiding from the truth you can't hold within."

Post-Promo MUGGING

I finally got my sergeant keroro figure!!!! hahahaha, so cool!!!!

"you're gonna break the scarecrow"

MONDAY

Loveless avenue, where the red light illuminates,
masking the blood stained streets of those hurt,
out of life,
out of love,
they seek comfort in anyone but above,
pacing from door to door,
asking for more and more,
oh what a crimson red hue,
only in loveless avenue.

"Loveness Avenue" by HX.

lol, i showed it to joel and he was like "no comment", and there i was laughing and amazed at my creativity. XD

i should be able to watch house bunny with joel tomorrow.

but the homework today is like omg.
1) Econs,
2) Chinese OMG
3) GP


i'm so tired.
i wanna sleep now.
because the weather is so cold.


AHH, PRAWNING SOON!!!!

the 2 am post.

Somehow, i always contradict myself.
for example,
i swore never to buy sausages from the western stall, but i still do.
or i'll never buy noodles from the noodle stall, but sometimes, i still do.
now, i thought i wouldn't blog till next friday, but i can't take the un-updated-ness (there's no such word) of my blog!

i'm doing wr now, and will be stuck with it till friday.

i hope something nice happens to me, like a sudden fishing trip, or i find lots of monies on the ground.

because good surprises don't happen to me that often anymore, and life is boring again.
it's a hassle everyday to worry about my work, whether the person i love feels the same, whether i'll bump into people i hate, whether i still have the time to worry so much.
because i can't just give everything up now, not now, despite all the times thinking about it, someone once taught me not to be irresponsible and i will not.

SOMETHING GOOD, PLEASE HAPPEN QUICK BEFORE I GROW BORED.

i'm looking forward to a few things these days.
1) prawning!
2) that dinner i owe.
3) the kelong trip.
4) the malaysia trip(if i can go)
5) taiwan!
6) christmas concert.
7) all the fun things i do with my friends.
8) jamming with livert.

"that fuzzy feeling when summer comes and the jazz comes in the sun."

okay, i think i'll stop here.
getting tired, must do wr before i sleep.

FONOGENICO

I'm currently in love with this japanese jazz duo called FONOGENICO
and so i'm promoting them on my blog.

here's two songs.
1) Reason
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxufjEoquqw
2) Rhythm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPqIIUtsH8s

till friday, bye. :D

HELL-IDAY

ohkay, sho here'sh whatchts gonna happen.

list of homework:
1) Econs (lotsa essays)
2) Physics Spa (skill c, d worksheet)
3) GP essay outline
4) OMG Chinese
5) PW!!!!!

I'm seriously stressed out(once again) and this time.

OMGWTF PW!
we're so behind and we need to put in so much effort by next friday(dealine for WR)

basically, here's what i'm doing for the days till next friday:
1) no blogging.
2) WR all the way.
3) very little sleep.
4) very cranky ( i hope not, but can't be helped if i'm too stressed without enough sleep.)
5) lots of ginseng, red bull, brands, coffee(i love latte).
6) very little time spent at home, except for sleep.
7) a lot of time spent outside doing work.

i'm so scared......and pissed.....and screwed unless WE do something about the WR.

so after next friday, i think i can get a breather and then continue on other stuff.

i gtg do work. till next friday, ciao.

NOSTALGIA

Will you remember, a friend forever, who has pressed on, stood the test of time and space?
I heard that if a knot is tied, it will never unravel, just frozen in time and space.
Friends are never lost, just kept in a distant part of your memory where the forgotten resides.
Friends always reflect yourself, and will be there for you if you happen to be beside.

Through the lights on the streets at night,
through the darkness that resides in the sky,
i bring you nostalgia for all that we've been through,
when we could see one another's souls and not the mask of skin.

Drums beat just like how the rhythm of friends go,
up and down at odd times, but always keeping the rhythm it's supposed to go.
You just need to listen for the distant sounds of beats,
to know where your memories go.

THE END

it's 12++ and i've just done my WR.
need to compile it.
school's tomorrow, not really looking forward to it, but ugh, no choice.

congrats to Alonso.
disappointed about Ferrari.


"i looked back at an email when you were overseas, oh how weird it must have sounded now."

haha, the timeline for the pics is bottom up.
I really need to thank Limter for inviting me to F1 and sharing lots of laughter with me,
Fiona for laughing at my jokes and being my best friend,
and Guataman for joking and fooling around with me.
It was a great day, and i'm so looking forward to the finals.

GO KIMI RAIKKONEN!!! GO FERRARI!!! GO MASSA!!!!

this is a picture post, so enjoy! :D
