had quite a long day today. went out in the morning with tanbo ppl (weiquian shouhao lionel yuting stella samuel) to kbox at cck. hah quite fun la, just that i had a slight sore throat and still has an ulcer in my mouth. but feel very bad that the rest other than me and sam sang so little. next time must make them sing more hehe.

more tanbo outings!! think going to have one next wk. haha, this time chuan han can join us i think. i wonder where we will go? see how ba haha.

after that me and sam bdae farewell to the rest of the tanbo ppl that came and went to dj's house cos it was his bdae (happy bdae dj! and dh. not that they will read la, but nvm. just wish.) it was pouring la. so we had to like share my BLUE umbrella. and i mean really blue, as seconded by samuel. lol. then began our pre-military training for footdrills. cos 2 big guys got to share one puny umbrella, and we cant exactly cuddle like couples do. so we had to coordinate of sorts. chanel handbags so sam was rattling off, "left, right, left right left!" but it didnt seem to work super efficiently la lol. as we were all half drenched. as in literally, one half each. (me with a dry right half and him with a dry left half. i guess u all can tell how we shared the umbrella and who was on the left or right >.<) at dj's house, every floor was occupied la lol. lemme intro one by one. Third Floor: Storey of Pool. pool table there and i saw kevin there reading his book, bao chen (dunno how to spell >.<), dj and some others playing

Second Floor: Storey of Video Games. wensheu limyuan weechern chunkang were playing DOA and KOF on the xbox, and pengsing was playing heroes v on the comp.

First Floor: Storey of Gambling. it was a whole load of ppl playing cards and mahjong, with lots of hanging around and watching and teaching haha. lemme see if i can rmb. wj ps ws ys cj wc wy yx kg ry and more i cant rmb le haha.

so as u can see im sure we had a fun afternoon. pizza for lunch too! =))

at night b4 we left sang happy bdae song and ate cake. then pengsing wensheu dj etc were playing the grand piano in the living room. pengsing was playing river flows in your (dont ask me why the title is so, i have no idea. no the 'r' is not a typo) a really nice song!!

and cos of that, im suddenly inspired to learn that song, and in the event it's too too too hard, just learn some piano. that brings we back to my poor guitar which i threw behind, im also feeling kinda backward at it too. even when i manage to get weecherns guitar off the hands of other ppl who wanna play it, i also have nth much to play. abit wasted.

therefore some resolutions for the hols.

1) learn piano! a bit at least.
2) practice guitar! more songs and learn to make it ur own with all those strumming and blahs.
3) learn mahjong! looks really fun, but i totally have no idea how to play... must learn during chalet haha
4) learn cycling... this one im not too sure. but hopefully?
5) thats for me to know and for u to find out :P

i dunno wads on tml. there a concert by chsco... right? like so low profile... nvm. if got ppl will inform me de lol. meanwhile i shall plan to... learn one guitar song tml. and i know wad i wanna learn le.

havent been listening to music for a very long time le. been busy with pw and staying away from home for long periods of time. wad with CO on mon and wed and interact on thu, and school ending at 4 on fri. i hardly have anytime to myself.

my nights are mostly taken up by revival of dota with the class (i also dunno wads with this new wave of playing, but nvm). wait correction, at least 70% of the nights are spent on WAITING and REMAKING when ppl dc. yep. the playing constitutes abt 30% i guess. but nvm, im not here to make a scene abt it.

audition takes a little of my earlier evenings and late nights b4 and after dota when i just play for fun la. nowadays all the ex-audition players all just defect to dota le, i guess i may be the only one left playing it. but i dont really care la, since i dont exactly must have someone else whom i know playing b4 i play ma. though it is indeed a little lonely sometimes when u cant really chat with anyone at all in game.

been restarting my book reading and shall continue with it thru out the hols haha. books is also another nice thing i like to do to pass my time. a bit pity abt music though, since i cant exactly on my music clashing with the audition music, or the MUSIC (mind u not the game) lagging when i on during dota.

school term is coming to an end le. my relationship with the class, ok i guess. with my gd frens, plan coming off alright too. with my ex-classmates and s-l, guess will continue to improve over time since we embarking on our project once again. shall work hard and try to help MDAS as much as we can ba =) results, chanel handbags not too gd, definitely room for improvement. but hopefully all the nearly going on to the next grade kinda marks can gimme some consolotion, in the sense that if i got just 1 point more in promos for 3 subjects, ill gain a grade. 3 ok. thats reducing the msg by 3*2/9 = 0.67

it's a bit early to start reflecting on this yr, so ill do it in detail when the yr really comes to an end. meanwhile i feel like going out tml, havent been going out for sometime le. (ok i know i went aaron's house next wk, but that doesnt really count ma. i meant really going out.) shall think of wad to do and who to ask. if not at most ill just go myself. looking forward to a fun day tml? i dunno. the problem abt the class not liking to ask only a small grp of frens is coming back to haunt me. big and giant and huge grps of ppl going along everytime. when will any class outing be only 5 ppl or so again? it's been a long time since that was the case lo.

been working on pw and wr and op for the whole wk. everything's coming off ok i guess. hopefully the 3rd draft for wr and our 2nd op rehearsal will do fine b4 the actual deadlines.

parents went overseas on sat, for one wk. guess i have to do major spending on my dinners outside lo. freedom for a wk i guess? but not much use either, they dont really restrict me now that promos are over. ok let's nt dwell on unhappy stuff =((

went aaron's house for stayover yesterday, with sam yuxiang kennard. his house is really nice la, just super ulu only >.< i think i totally wont know how to get there from potong pasir mrt station. the class also went cycling on sat afternoon, hope they had fun. i didnt go, cos cycling is not my forte. to put in bluntly, i cant cycle. anyway went sam's house first and waited for him to get ready. lol so funny la, he kenna lcoked out of his house cos no one was at home and he forgot his key. so we were like chatting on the phone, passing time, while i head to his house. havent been to his house for sometime le, been really busy with jc life. so haha, really nice to see his aunt and grandma after so long! pity his sis and mum werent at home. reached aaron's house abt 6+ (lol, we were supposed to meet at 3). kennard was there already. played dota (keep taking turns lol), played cards, played wheel of life, used comp chat on msn blahblahs. i rarely play so many different card games in one night, with bridge, dai dee, hearts, old maid, heart attack, broken finger, speed etc. wheel of life was new to me too. louis vuitton handbags became doctor for 2 times lol. aaron and sam both had mid life crisis and had to change jobs. haha, quite fun la. i spammed all the stocks so that i get 10k for every time they spin the number of the stock i bought. so it was like aaron had 6, and 10 wasnt available. so for 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9 that they spin, i get 10k rofl. feel so shuang keep collecting $$ from the bank. we wanted to watch movie, but scared fall asleep. so samuel went to play another game. oh ya, forgot to mention. aaron's room had a mini projector that can project wads on the computer screen on a white blank wall. so for every games anyone of us played, we had 3 other advisors there teaching u wad to do haha. a bit the stressed. later u do some stupid move then broadcast to the whole room >.<

oh ya i did a crazy thing la. me and samuel went to order mac delivery at like... 5am. ate sausage mcmuffin. lol, one of the few things ive never done so far, calling delivery services in the wee hours of the morning. but after i ate finish, i fell asleep abt 6+ la. woke up at 10 to find that yuxiang gone liao, cos he had pw meeting. so we just stoned around chatting and played more cards (it feels so nice to be able to play and play and play. i havent played cards for agessss.)

after that went out for lunch at aaron's house nearby the kopitiam. wah the hawker centre quite big leh, and the food price reasonable also haha. had a nice lunch. samuel went 7-11 to buy chendol mr softie and me and kennard went to the next door provision shop and bought those biscuits in a tin. went to buy 200g of teddy bear biscuits hahaha. the old times... it's pretty cheap also! hehe. aaron so lucky la, got all these nice places around his house. though it is still ulu :P

after that then went home via mrt + bus. a strange thing ive never noticed in my life happened today, the 184 that i took from clementi back home was NOT a long vehicle. can u believe it?! for the 5 yrs that ive been living around this area and the countless 184s ive taken and seen, this is the very first time i see a normal 184 bus instead of the long vehicle haha. so interesting.

walking from the bus stop back home, along that foresty area, i saw a giant humungous reptile looking creature la. i got a shock. i think if there were any girls who saw it at like less than 2m away which suddenly moved when u least expect something liddat to exist in that area, they would be startled la, even scream lol. it's really big. like... uh i cant describe. um almost 2m long with the tail? scary.

(this is quite a crappy post actually. im only doing it for... i also dunno wad).

btw open house was funn. thx CO for letting me quite enjoy open house haha. i thot i will totally sian diao, but it turned out fun. the first performance was totally lame though, playing to totally no one.

random stuff. i dont feel like sleeping.

Your Element Is Fire

Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame. You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out. You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable. You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go. Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive. Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many.

Your Element Is Water

A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.

interesting isnt it. i seem to be a well blended mix of both. i wonder why do i have strong elements? what abt airy fairy light-hearted air? or just steady calm grounded earth?

sometimes u just cheer up a lot once you have let it all out.

it's nice to know ppl still recognise your existence.

but im still going to do what i have to do.

thanks a lot by the way. i may still have been... out of phase.

a tad disappointed that no one seemed to have seen the videos ive put up in the previous post. well hope some ppl will read sooner or later. it also doesnt seem to help when i put it in my msn nick. ok im quite disappointed.

but nvm lol. this kind of small thing. nv watch then nv watch loh. dont read my blog also nvm. argh im falling into the trap of being an exhibitionist. blog for the sake that other ppl read. but the case isnt so serious for me, since hardly anyone comes and tag anyway. i see so many other ppl tagging at other ppl's blogs, and sometimes i cant help but feel a tiny tiny wrench in my heart.

okok SO BE IT. *forces myself to not pick on nitty gritty stuff*

anyway, caught a glimpse of the moon today. supposed to be a night of shang yue-ing and bringing laterns around. but seeing the moon these few days just turns me off la. yes indeed, it is like any other year: full, round, glowing. but this year, thanks to the freaking haze, it's ORANGE LA. thx a lot. a whitish-yellow moon is now orange. the sun of the night. this day where the official title can be given to the moon has come. for so many years the moon has acted as the reflection of the sun and as the sun of the night, lighting the path of ppl to some extent. and now, we have it as orange as the sun. whee. we should rejoice? =.=

seeing little kids running around with paper lanterns in the compound, it brings to me something abt how something that was once fashionable will be fashionable again. it worked for furniture, clothes and everything. replica watches the retro era's coming back. funnily it's working on lanterns even. during my time, when we were young, battery cartoon lanterns were the in thing and to us were a symbol of um... catching along with the trend, just like the gameboy, playstation, nitendo etc at that time to us. but now, i hardly see it. in fact, the paper ones are coming back. nowadays lanterns are finally back to the fire-candle-paper-stick combi.

ah the gd old days.

p.s. maf tml. but morning need to get doc certification to go ocip. then got photoshoot cos my sis grad, go studio take family photo, then go maf for co perfomance. ill kill CO if i miss the grand lightup.

busy day tml. hope i got enough energy left for sun. do or die, im going on sun.

been motivated by singapore dreaming i guess.

woke up late at 2+ (then i received an sms by wenjie to ask me go school at 8.54am. right. lol). felt a bit down and lonely inside, cos of some stuff last night.

didnt feel like doing anything abt the chem mock spa tml. so turned on the comp and just stumbled upon youtube. spent the whole afternoon in front of my comp, eating biscuits as lunch, clicking video after video, chanel handbags catching some local films. a couple of them are quite arty farty, so im glad there are at least a basic description of the film so i know wads going on. and im glad i took lit.

kinda interesting themes. with stranger kind of love, to wondering abt life after death and the real motive of living, to hilarious ones like making fun of the censorship board, and to a real-life based story on how a guy tried so hard to love another guy, but sadly sacrificed his family, friends, sanity, and eventually committed suicide. it's quite a enriching afternoon for me i guess. so felt like sharing.

maybe u all will have more thoughts and feelings than i do.
maybe u can feel for some.
or maybe u'll just plain watch and forget.
or even just think it's a waste of time.

it's up to you.

The Letter(don't watch if you are homophobic)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du4JkpR6iNg
"This story is based on a true life story about a boy struggling with his forbidden love."
Personally I think this is the best I've seen today, cos it has a proper storyline. And it does link to your hearts, where sometimes you cant like someone you like or someone you like doesnt like you (heyhey, i dont mean including the gay context la. =.=)

Instant Photo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A200cWkyEc
"The story is about a girl that left her photo in a instant photo machine booth, which acccidentally was stumble upon by a guy who slowly became obesess with her......"
It's quite a sweet story if you can understand the meaning behind it. I don't know if you understand though...
Shift

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9S32HnTKHM (Part2)
"The story is about a guy who lose his memories for a day and try to trace it back...... "
Ok i admit it, i didnt really watch finish this show. cos the loading was too lag lol. but from what i see, also quite profound to understand...

4444
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qema4basqMY
"Trapped in a mundane loop of transportation, work and lottery tickets, a man fails to notice the numbers 4444 manifesting themselves in eerie and inconceivably absurd ways... "
This is a kind where it's supposed to be cheem la, but quite easy to get the meaning. it's making fun of 4D and keeping using the unlucky numbers 4444, to signify a so-called dead world, where everything around the main char revolves around 4.

Cut
http://blip.tv/file/58458
"Short film Royston Tan made in 2004 after "15" got 27 cuts from the Singaporean censors."
I think this is super sarcastic and funny if u get the context that he made this after the censorship board gave his movie "15" 27 cuts.

Popcorn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FBG5eSJplk
a lame music video lol. just for fun.

finally. everything's over. (ok theres still a chem mock spa left, but i dont really care la.) freedom came at 11.16am this morning of 2/10/2006. finally, time off studying and mugging. back to happy life. of movies. of kboxing. of slacking. tv, comp games (audition! omg.), hanging out with frens.

so for a starter, went with class to al ahmeen/boon tong kee today. after that the rest went to lan, while me limyuan ck and wc went my house to slack. play guitar, audition, watch kids central. lol, quite pointless, but hey, anything's better than mugging right.

after that went to plaza sing to catch singapore dreaming. kinda inspired and motivated to catch a local show after watching 12 storeys which ms cheong showed us during the last wk of gp lesson. wanted to catch the 4.50 one, but we missed it rofl. so in the end watch at 7.

meanwhile while waiting, we went to gelare at 5th floor to have some dessert and tok cok. it's been a looooooooong time since the 4 of us came together to actually sit down and chat. been looking forward to this day for a long time lo. pleasant surprise for me i guess haha. we have not had a chance to come together ever since... stuff.

so really, thank you for coming. it brightened up my day (of sorts. despite knowing ill fail maths). cos i kinda gave up hope b4 today. so hope is relived!

then singapore dreaming started. shant bother elaborating the storyline (that'll take me ages). but just some things u cant forget from that show: the herbal tea, the song "wang4 chun1 feng1" (or at least thats what i think the title is), the name pinky for a maid, the mandarin spoken by ck (as in in the show), and the ending. (oh i was quite surprised that there was a "fuck you!" in the show as well.)

overall, the plot was simple, but cos of the close proximity to our hearts, we can relate to it very well. replica watches i think the title singapore dreaming is very apt, cos it's all abt the dreams ppl dream about, in all aspects, regardless of the materialistic dreaming of striking toto, of moving out of a flat into a condo, of getting a posh car, or the emotional hopes of getting married, wishing children will make it big one day, of dreaming of a better life, of hoping that parents will not practice favouritism and take notice someday, of praying that the father did not have to die.

all these dreams exist in our lives.

how many times have we dreamed of doing well in exams? winning competitions? not screwing up in interviews? to the more personal side of having more care and concern by parents? better relationships with frens, family, or ur special someone?

who never dreams?

a mixture of funny singaporean elements and a very real side of how singaporeans strive and struggle as they aim for their goals. be it a car, a condo, country club membership, job interviews. concern by ur spouse, getting married, wishing ur husband will be more outstanding in his career. everyone continues to aim. even down to bargirls, who work and earn a living this way, so as to have enough money to pursue their own dreams. they too dream.

weaving inspiration from this movie, let us just all strive towards our goals and continue to dream! there's nothing wrong with dreaming. although we achieve some and fail miserably in others, ultimately, we learn and gain, and thus, grow.

so all the best to everyone taking exams tml (esp the geog ppl in my class, and the bio ppl i know).

while i go back to my dreams of passing my promos. sianzzzz.
