After 2 raving years I finally ORD-ed. Sometimes fate work in the weirdest ways. Cause as you slowly leave NS world back to real world, your social circle begins shift like a plate tectonic.

NS has been great to me, I met friends whom I can have fun with. Really it's the best work place with so many friends. However the environment doesn't seem to be the best for you to build friendships that can last. This is the sad but true fact. Cause places like SAF, people come and go within periods of 3 months. You could be lucky and find great people who are in the same batch, but usually people come around my batches doesn't seem to have that chemistry with me. It's usually the really seniors and really juniors that I could find company and confidant in. Ok, I don't do much confiding in SAF, too dangerous. I'm a snake zodiac in that way!

I'm not saying people are horrible. Contrary to that, my adjacent and actual batches, namely 80, 81, 82. They are really really the life of the band, fun-loving and rowdy. Everything an organisation needs, just that maybe personality wise, we basically have nothing much to do together except maybe hang out at the canteen and chitchat much. Then there's the batches below, funny but there seems to be so many things to talk about. So much things to do, so much mahjong to play! Maybe it's cause of Shermann, may not be i try not to look too much into things. But chemistry is just like that, you have it then you feel that the world is your oyster.

So my point being that, my social cirle is slowly but certainly shifting back to where it was 2 years ago. I hope to have a deeper relationship with my PAE tee29 clique. The thing about them is that we can always meet up and chit chat. But when we haven't met for a while, the following meetup just seems to me more meaningful. Its like drinking ribena, the lesser the water you add, the sweeter it is. Geddit?

Maris clique of course will always be there. I hope, we can don't meet for a month or so but we'll always be able to pick up from where we left. The only thing i hope for it them to be more spontaneous, we're going into the prime of our lives. Maybe live a little and leave the serious stuff to the late 20s? Maybe i'm wrong i'll never know.

I have menial task piling up in my mind.
1)Complete uni application
2)Find a job
3)Practice Piano for exam in July
4)Lose weight Haha
hopefully I can quickly tick these task of so i can look forward to my trips!

Vietnam with Alrik & Ryhn
Christchurch with Yilin & Nina

Can't wait :)

Au Revoir 2010!

The Only Exception

2010-10-03T06:55:00.000-07:00

I read Biwei's blog once in a while and he sometimes address his progress on the playing of his clarinet. Sometimes i overlook this fact but today i look at his post and this thought came across my mind.

"My band batch people really practice very hard on their instruments and
what have I been doing this past one year?"

Haha this is damn fml but inevitably it's true. My batch mates from my band really IP (Individual Practice) alot. Much more than i ever ever did! Biwei being on the top of the game, John and Sinchin. Fifi is already such an outstanding percussionist and he IPs alot too. The only time I try to IP is if there was a parade coming up which i need to practise the song, if not it would be SIBF that time. Haha thinking back, i thought i should have tried harder.

I always though playing euphonium is what they say. It;s an easy instrument to play, but to master it, or even play at an intermediate level, it takes a hell lot. Even the simplest euphonium solo requires the player to reach at least a top Bb. And that's only at the tone aspect, running on the euphonium is another must. But i do enjoy running on the euphonium, i can sit there and practice 2 3 bars of running to perfect it. I just enjoy this cause after i master it, it looks freakin impressive. I love playing the euphonium i kid you not, i never regretted choosing this instrument. The fondness just grows and it never gets sick. The tone it makes is just sounds emotional and warm, tts why the euphonium literally means "instrument of joy"

Back to what i was saying. What i really regret is whether i should have practiced harder. It really is very difficult to break that threshold of being an average school euphonium player, to a soloist. I haven really gotten my top Bb yet and my tone is only so so. When i was in JC people say i had a tone that has a good potential but i never really did work on it, i could only blame myself for it. The only thing i have been improving on is my technique, after all the sight reading and runnings but the improvement is not very significant either.

Then to my batch mates. Biwei, the ever hardworking clarinetist. All i have to say is if no ones sees your improvement then they must be blind. Cause SC, John and I all know that you have worked your ass off to improve. Thats just you, ever the conscientious and hardworker. You might not be talented but your efforts definitely paid off cause your improvement from training wing times is just astounding. When you came to MAWE and you practiced so hard for the competition, i just feel grateful. You might not be one of the best clarinetist in saf but you are definitely not the worst i dare say. Sincerely proud of you.

John IPs alot too, if he's not reading in the office then he's IP. He and his yellow trombone case is already a big indication to his love for his instrument. His knowledge of his trombone and music in general shows his passion for this area and IPing alot if just icing on the cake. I would say he has improved since when we first came into band B too. Sinchin is another hardworker. Even though you get sidetracked by vices like TT. I know you practice really hard for your simply horn repretoirs. Since the CCB times, your section has improved much, i would just like tell you that your effort really has paid off. My two musician friends, you guys have came a long way from when we first steped into band B. Congrats!

Fifi is really a very talented percussionist. Sight reading is like whew. I'm really glad i got to know you cause when i was taking my grade 5 theory you helped me alot too. I know you will go far after you complete your studies and then when i see you in 5 yrs or so, you will be like WHOAH! I really admire your passion for music and how brilliant you are as as a musicmaker. All the best to you, i know you'd do well!

As for me? Haha i better start practicing i think i should hold regular sectional with my junior the erho. Haha it's never to late to start right? Let's IP!

Don't Ever Look Back

2010-09-09T19:26:00.000-07:00

Hello readers and 1 hater on my tagboard! I haven't been blogging so much cause I was busy with my BRAND NEW IPHONE 4 (eat your hearts out!) and also my computer has been dead for about two weeks. I have been living on my phone's data plan. But I finally got my computer fixed and here I am!

Wondering what to blog about leh! I've not been blogging so long I dunno where to start and most of the stuff i have already forgotten! Let's talk about ORD mood!

As all of seniors are slowing leaving band! I'm kinda of having this ORD kinda mood! I mean i really really love being in band, the company and everything but i have this that my life is a standstill now and i can't help feeling that my life's about to change once i go back to school again! And it that kind of excitement that makes me wanna ORD quickly

Still i'm really enjoying my life in band now. Honestly if i was brave enough. I would have sign on! Life is good in Band B! I can just sit the office the entire day and the day just zooms pass. I like the company around band. Somehow music makers just seem to able to click extremely well. Especially brass players i have to say. No offence to the woodwinds! You guys are awesome! Just playing silly games and talking about everything under the sun. I like talking silly and gossiping with Johan & Zhichao. I like watching fhairil role play everyone else in band. I like talking dirty with Horny John. I like suaning Sinchin and Biwei like i'm some bitch (which contrary to popular belief i'm not, gonna touch on that later). I like talking nonsense with Russell cause he doesn't really make sense to me. I like comparing our physical significance with Khai. I like to hear timothy bitch about others. I like hearing advices from Lao Shao cause hes the best! I like to listen about Wenxiang relationship problems cause it never ending. I like playing quartets with JinKun Nich Wong HongSheng and ErHao. I means little are these things but when i'm having fun i really do remember these little moments and try to repeat them! I guess thats why i do enjoy so much cause i'm doing stuff that I LIKE! I'm living the teenage dream man!

Life might not be as meaningful but it's a hell lot of fun! I was wondering who ever will i still keep in touch with when I ORD. Sad to say, i hardly meet up with any of my seniors after they have ORD cause i guess they are so busy! I should make the effort to still keep in touch with at least of the them right. Ok i promise to keep in touch with my batch mates ESPECIALLY those that are from BAND B! My lovely taiwan holiday peeps! And also my Band B mates! Yes i do feel like i belong to BAND B please stop saying that i'm from band A!

Speaking of which! My band peeps really like to suan me things that i'm obviously not arh! I know most of them are kidding but this really makes me feel like i'm a bad person lehhh~

Fhairil, Russell, Weikit, Fabian, Khai say : "I like Band A more than Band B"
This is obviously bullshit can. I mean Johan is definitely one of my closer friends in SAF. But this is like totally not comparable to how i feel about my Band B people. First of all I love Band B people more cause they are all damn fun people and even though you are not as SIAOW ONZ as our band a frens you guys are definitely fun to hang out with. I have a BALL OF A TIME in my office everyday i kid you not. Do you guys even see me running to band a office everyday haha no cause. I LOVE BAND B!

Khai, Russell, Biwei say :"I'm damn rich (prolly means i'm damn spoilt also)"
Ok this is even more nonsense. Firstly my parents don even spend money on me anymore. I only have a token sum of $50 allowance from my parents every month and that's it. Because of my huge problem of ignorance. I think people feel that i'm like a damn sheltered strawberry or something. Spend money like water. I do admit that i'm a little spoilt and shopaholic. But these isn't because i have alot of money or whateva. Its cause i have bad influences. @Ryhn, @Alrik. Yea and i have this bad habit of checking whether people are rich anot, its just a weird habit nothing to it, please don judge me!

Biwei, ShaoMing, Fabian, Khai: "I'm a mean BITCH"
Wrong! I used to be a damn bitchy person in my sec sch days. Trust me all my frens were. But since i went to JC, i felt that i was humbled and now i become nicer and nicer! Even though i feel like i'm having less fun but i do feel happier when i'm nice to people haha. I do act bitchy and sarcastic once in a while. I like to tease and mock. But i'm really not being pretentious or malicious. Yea and i dunno why you guysb take whatever i say so seriously, omg uptight. I mean no harm so please don judge me and say i'm mean cause i'm really a good-natured person. really really. Omg i'm starting to sound damn byl.

Everyone in Band freakin B except SinChin: "I'm a stupid girl"
Seriously could you guys go eat shit?

Russell, Shaoming: "Like all CJ kids, club, drink, smoke, sex"
Misunderstood! CJ kids are very studious and guai one ok! To Russell: screw you you are even worse than me! Basically once in a while i like to have a little bit of fun. But even if i do club and drink, i never do things out of line! I'm actually a very guai boy and i hardly get into trouble, i buy tissue from disadvantaged people. I usually will be home by 12am cause thats when the bus services stop. And i never steal, stun, push people down a flight of stairs, or spit at people. I'm an angel, and so are all the CJCians.

Yes! The end of my post, i nuahed the whole cooling hari raya afternoon writing this post! Two songs that accompanied me .

Hello haven't been blogging regularly. There are some stuff that i urgently need to settle in my life like stuff i would like to continue doing and stuff i would like to stop so i have been thinking alot lately. Yes contrary to popular belief I can actually think.

My recent trip back to BMTC for the POP of the recruits have been nothing but fun and reminiscent. Though i was only down for one parade the rehearsals made me think back when i was still a wee little recruit. Now i'm a CPL and that's like the last stretch towards ORD lo!

Looking back at the day itself when i threw my jockey cap high into the sky and shouted POP LO! I mean gosh that was probably one of the happiest day of my life, I ran back to the FUP with friends shouting and cheering at my side and the feeling of that adrenaline rush still sticks close to me. Even now when i see the recruits throwing the caps into the sky and the horrid celebration song playing at the back. I can't help but feel happy for them and a smile would appear on my face, quite odd actually.

I still remember the days where we wake up at the crack of dawn, drag our half aching half dead bodies into the basketball court to go 5BX. And if its an especially bad day, we have to run. And then we drag our sticky and wet bodies to the humid canteen and force ourselves to eat food that is either too oily or too bland. No wonder i slimmed down haha. Then we'll march back to our bunks and do area cleaning, some days we will just lie in between beds and sleep away and then the last 5 mins try to clean the obvious areas and hope the sergeants won't catch us.

Then there are those field lessons on camo, urban ops, whathaveyou. I remember i would always put on my long 4 and lbv and hope and pray the sun wouldn't get too hot and true enough there will be a huge cloud nearby to shelter us from the harsh rays of the sun. The theoretical part of the lessons would be boring ttm. Haha i always thought the exercises were quite fun, shooting blanks, hiding in the bushes and rolling in dirt. Those were quite fun times, that's provided i didn't have heat rash, like i did during field camp.

Yes and then there was field camp. Heat rash and all. Thank god very very much for not letting it rain at all i thought it was a little miracle in that sense. Most of the time it was quite fun with all the exercises that actually i didn't really understand much but we just did it cause our commanders told us to. There was the mealtimes where we would try to sit in shade and much on combat rations which i tot was actually quite tasty (except the pastas one). I especially remembered the last day when I slept under the stars cowboy style with jonathan and yongzhi. LAST DAY OF FIELD CAMP. I was like alrdy uber happy thinking about what to do once i reach mainland singapore! Haha with a giant grasshopper flying past my face i screamed and went to sleep soon with everyone giggling beside me and the thunder roaring nearby (still it didn't rain :))))

Then there was booking out every friday night. Fortunately enough, leopard being a warrant company would have one of the best book out timings, not always the first, but acceptable. We would be singing our hearts out as we marched to the TFT. Take the penguin to mainland where a few of us section mates would head on down to burger king. In those times, even i whopper was like heaven to me. We would slowly savour our bit of heaven while chatting happily on what we're gonna do in the weekend, and *gasp next week when we book in.

Haha yep thats all the reminiscing that i have for this post. Yes band is even better but if i would have to elaborate on everything we would need tenths of post. Band has been nice to me and i have met people who are dear to me in some way or another. Yes THANK GOD!

Say your thanks before its too late. So since I'm at home now doing pretty much nothing let me say my thanks to this bunch of people in my life. They might not be very close to me but i treat them with the utmost respect and their advices lead me to become this basically good-natured person i am today.

Seniors.

Haha yeps since my secondary school days, I have pretty much been blessed with the BEST seniors around me in band. Of course i have seniors in gym but cause i was too young we train separately so i never been able to know them very much. Yep but since I was sec 1, i was blessed with these 3 seniors which helped me out alot and made my life in band so much more enjoyable especially during sectionals and full band practices. Benjamin, Zheng Cheng and Chanlun.

Benjamin was once of the closest and dearest seniors i ever had. Very very bright, intelligent and of course very funny. I have to admit he wasn't the best player around, but he was definitely the best senior. Up still now he still dishes out bits of advices for me which i take importance to because his advices simply turn out to be true. When i wanted to transfer schools in sec 2, he told me that i will regret it and of course i didn't. Up till now i'm still very glad that i didn't try to take a few entrance tests that year to transfer schools. And recently he also helped me alot in passing my NTU interview and i thank him alot for that.

Chanlun & ZhengCheng. 2 very talented eupho players. I would not consider myself to be a good player but without them guiding me could have been much worse. Even though chanlun was a very strict senior which he is still now, i know his intentions is to bring out the best in our section and so i practiced and it turned out fine :)) ZhengCheng was sec 4 when i was sec 1 so i didn't see him around much but when i graduated i got to know him better via alumni practice and also both of us ended up in SAF bands. He's was a very helpful senior and i am really grateful for that.

When i went up to CJC, i met Henry. My euphonium SL in CJCSB. He wasn't much of a speaker, slightly introverted and didn't care much about our playing unless our section was being screamed at by our conductor. But i guess it because JC we ought to be have a standard of playing already and he was confident in Mel & I. Still, he was a very helpful senior in other ways. He would sometimes help out in my work and when i ended up with terrible results for A levels. I remembered him calling me and chatting for an hour or so on the phone with about what i could do. He might not remember it but the advices he gave me made me realise he was actually a very caring senior.

Then i ended up in SAF bands then there were this whole bunch of seniors. Of course at first i didn't dare to go near any of them cause most of them looked very fierce, intimidating and slightly bitchy. But of course as time went by, faces looked warmer and conversations made. It sorta took me a while to realise that some of these seniors were actually trying to look out for the juniors. And of course they turned out to be quite helpful. Alot of them were also very funny and fun to hang out with.

My two eupho seniors that i met. Justin and Chings. Both talented and eloquent. Justin seemed fierce at first but after we chatted abit abit, he turned out to be haha quite a nonsense person. Haha funny to talk to and he would alway think up some scenarios about life and make me ponder over it. His advices are also pretty much spot on ( See i dunno why all my senior dish out such good advices!). Chings is another senior which i recently met. Uber talented in the euphonium and very hard working. Highly intelligent and also very very helpful. Thanks alot for being such a good massagnist. But besides that point, its good to have a senior which help you out alot on the administrative side of the band cause i quite careless in that area. Chings is simply a very good-natured person which i think will do VERY WELL in life in the future.

Having such good seniors is not something i will take for granted for there are always awful people out there which could end up being my seniors. Of course not much of them came into my life now but maybe so in the future. So i will always try be a very helpful senior cause there's really nothing much to diva about when you're a seniors. I try to maintain a good rapport with my section and of course thats why i remain so close to my CJC eupho section cause we have so much fun together. Try hard to help my juniors in anyway possible and keep them out of trouble. Of course then i would try to helpful in my current Band B but it seems that the juniors are having a hard time keeping me out of trouble. =p Oh wells. most of them are that uberly older than me anyways.

So i would basically like to say to all these seniors.

Thank You.

Food For The Heart

2010-05-28T08:04:00.000-07:00

Hello it's me again! Omg i'm like damn bored in the Whitehouse cause everyone is out and about having their morning routines and i'm here doing HQBO without my partner benlim. My band is having off today so its really like me left lor. I'm like so sian that i decided to blog the entire day to fill up my hours of boredom. So here's post No. 1!

Everyone whose everyone know's that I simply love food. And since i've slimmed down quite abit, i really cannot afford to binge like i used to. In case i waste all my efforts slimming down. That why my appetite decided to shrink but good thing though. That why now wish that my every meal be food that i would enjoy, that would make me happy. I wouldn't want to waste my stomach on all those kfc, mac nonsense anymore. Well at least if i'm not craving for it.

And i recently realised one very very important fact. I enjoy eating at different places with different people. Say if i were to go out with ryhn and alrik, i pretty much wouldn't pick a bar or and ice cream parlour. Why izit that so i would never know, so let's go down the list of places shall we?

Going our with Ryhn & Alrik.
I would probably chose a new place to eat out with them. Like say Chopinette at Bukit Timah, or maybe like Werner's Oven at siglap. Yea somewhere far and inaccessible where we can source for delicious cuisines! Some exciting new diner that we can sit down and sample all the new stuff and update each other on our sorry little lives. Better to be some where deserted cause our lives are oh-so-scandalicious. Wouldn't it be terrible if someone found out the secrets. Besides that we're just three people who share a terrible guilty love for good food and good ambiance. And with good company, that would just be perfect.

Going out with Marist Clique.
Would be somewhere slightly different from where i would venture with ryhn and alrik. It would be somewhere centralised, probably town or the city. Food must not be too expensive if not people will complain, but more importantly it must be VALUE FOR MONEY. Thats how my favourite clique works. So we usually end up at the usual few diners in town. Generic places like Fish & Co, Waraku, Billy Bombers, Cafe Cartel would be the ideal place to hang out and catch up cause we're a poor bunch of army guys. Worse comes to worse why not just MAHJONG at someone's place. You can't deny that that's the most VALUE FOR MONEY =D. Not that i don't enjoy any of those, i might be more cheapskate that most people think.

Going out with Primary School Friends.
Going out with my primary school friends would probably bring us to a nice icecream parlour in the Jelita, Holland Village & Six Avenue Estates. I just feel that it bring back good childhood memories when we have ice cream together. Sharing our wonderful memories of the past. I really had a blast in primary school and having this sweet treat that every single child would adore just makes me feel like a kid once more. And also the ice that i still LOVE icecream to bits make me wanna have icecream with my friends, at any occasion.

Going out with JC friends.
Whether it's my PAE, or band friends or even my JAE class. It just screams BAR BAR BAR! Yes JC was the time i found company in drinks. I mean i'm not an AVID fan of alcohol but i do enjoy company at bars. Especially quiet ones like Jazz@ Southbridge. Yes but i do have to admit i had some crazy time boozing in JC times so my JC friends and I do relate our company to having a round of drinks. I do booze with ryhn and alrik too but i still drink the most with yimin hc they all. Not saying that they are bad company or whatever ok. I enjoy going to bars as much as icecram parlours cause its the company that is the most important. Good food that i enjoy is an added bonus =)

Going out with NS peeps.
BUFFET. Undoubtedly buffet. Band people are a hungry gluttony bunch and what better way to settle cravings than to have a hearty buffet. Omg making me hungry now. Not that i have many buffets with them but when i do i always enjoy myself alot! And the fact that most people i have buffets with are either my size or bigger than me make my less self-conscious about eating so much. And omg the conversations we have are epic, when we eat, we get happy and then we start spouting nonsense. After talk, THEN WE EAT MORE! yes buffets are the way with band peeps.

Going out with Band Seniors.
2 words. Sushi Tei. I had Sushi Tei with many many groups of people before in case any of you haven't realised Sushi Tei happens to be one my All-Time-Favourite places to eat. My seniors are the few that appreciate the quality of great Japanese cuisine and thats why i always drag them out to eat Sushi Tei cause they will surely enjoy it. Watching people enjoy their food makes me really happy so it kind of amplifies the satisfaction i get from having my food too. So i'll always bring my band seniors to Sushi Tei.

Going out with Eupho Section.
DEFINTELY BUFFET! Wah this one is even more epic! I have been having buffets with Steven Melissa and Andrea since we were poor struggling JC kids. Back then i was this fat kid and then there were my 3 skinny section members. Now its 4 skinny euphos but still we eat like bears, like melissa. What i enjoy about having buffets is the carefree way we order our food. "Arh so full already cannot eat, arh nvm order alrdy sure eat one" Haha it always seems to be the case and so we eat more. Meanwhile while eating, we gossip to no end. Updating each other on the latest band news of course with Andrea bring us the most juicy news hehe! Hopefully we can employ more of the NEW eupho jrs to join us for BUFFET! Joan & Sean & Yeow Tong!

Haha I'm done! Yea turns out my HQBO duty took and interesting turn when BenLim, Johan and Zhichao came to keep me company. Time flew so fast i woke up the next day feeling i was in the last. Ok at least I'm done with this post. Cya!

Summer Beckons!

2010-05-13T07:02:00.001-07:00

Hello everybody! Gosh it's been such a long time since i last blogged but wanted to keep the letter post UNTIL I FINALLY GOT A LETTER! And guess what?

I FINALLY GOT INTO NTU MECHANICAL ENGINEERING! Can you imagine how elated i was! I was on freakin cloud 9 or something la! Super super happy, yea i had super lan bei results so getting into this course is all that it takes to make me a happy boy!

As summer beckons, Mayday falls into place and i'm having fun times now!

Had many little gatherings and outings. I enjoyed everyone of them and hope that more will come. Sometimes little things such as good company can make my day or even my week. I can sit on the bus and remember the fun times and just smile like an idiot all the way home. Yes i'm that easily pleased =D

Well my mood affects my appetite also and boy do i have many cravings, mostly of chocolate so i having alots of that. Different variations of it, chocolate cake, icecream, truffles, MAGNUM GOLD.... more CHOCOLATE!

Update on some of the stuff that happened in may... if i can still remember.

Friday evening went to shishak with Yimin, Hongchow, Joel & David. Walked rounds and rounds around haji lane cause we insisted on finding one which is air-conditioned but in the ned can't find one so we had to make do with one which ia less crowded. Ordered the apple-mint one. OMG Shishak makes me HIGH~.

Went out with Fifi, Sinchin, Russell, JinKun, WeiKit & Fabian. Eat HANABI! yay buffet! Finally I don't usually go out with this bunch of people except maybe fifi and sinchin but boy did i enjoy it. Maybe it's cause the stuff we did was what i usually do to make myself happy! I remember eating alot and then playing pool & L4D2. And then eating more! Half priced chocolate cake, happy happy nom noms! The rest even had pasta, crazy eat buffet alrdy still have pasta.

Wednesday went out to play L4D2 with sergeant and a few of the band people. Nothing much but i remember i keep getting shot down and had to spawn. After that had to rush for band prac. Not before going home to get my LETTER. Before i opened my letter box, I peered into the hole and saw " NTU UNDERGRAD'S ADMISSION 2010" and i was like OMG OMG OMG! I quickly opened the letterbox ripped open the letter and continued to OMG OMG OMG! Super happy after which i rushed out for band. After band i went home like a good boy and do finish my homework.

Friday had a mini BBQ gathering with PAE Tee29 folks! Went grocery shopping with yimin and haofeng at Sheng Siong! Love grocery shopping cause i get to pick whichever food I like to eat. Muahaha! After which we went to my place and prepared the food, play squash and whats not. Started the fire and it was QUICK. Yimin & HF are good fire starters! The rest of the folks came and we just ate like pigs and tok the evening and night away! Reminiscing about the uber fun times we had during first 3 months and dreaming about the future. I should spend more time with them cause we are one bunch of fun cool folks =D

Saturday was CON FUOCO! Haha fun fun day. Didn't pratice much on that day but my batch peeps just went around and cam whored around the band room and the school! Took lots of stupid photos before it was SHOWTIME. Our little two item alumni showcase was COOLSHIT with the main band dancing off stage! Haha though i could have played a little better if i wasn't disgustingly out of tune. Manage to take a singular FULL SECTION PHOTO of 4 generations. But it was polluted with many non-eupho ppl like xinghao and darren so my brilliant IT junior sean has to go crop them away. After the concert went out with Andrea, Gabriel, Cheng, Steven & Darren! Haha went to hk cafe cause it was the only cafe opened at 12 midnight. Stay there for a few hours talking alot of cock. Alot of LNBS which i enjoy ttm! Muahaha!

Sunday went to eat buffet with family. yes buffet AGAIN! It was something different though. Asian theme and i had durian pudding and chili crab yum yum! And lots and lots of chocolate mousse cake, creme brulee, bread & butter pudding, caramel pudding. Desserts yumyum! After that rushed down to sengkang Alrik's place for MAHJONG! Happy happy day even though i didn't win alot but it really doesn't matter.

Of course this is not the end of my smashing summer may! Theres still NOH! and several trips down town. TOWN~ I shall end of this post today and try to find time to post another entry! See you guys!

This few weeks is gonna pass horribly slow. Cause I'm waiting for something to appear in my letterbox. Something so valuable that i would trade it for almost anything else in the world.

You guessed it, Obviously its my letter of (hopefully acceptence) to a university.

Seeing as i have pretty much have zero chance of getting into NUS, my bet is of course NTU.

Oh man, i'm having horrible nightmares just thinking about it, what if it got lost in the mail, what if they looked through my registration, what ifs and what ifs

I really really hope that i can get into a university cause that what i want to do, futher my studies, nothing else more important in the world to me now than to progress.

Oh well i just hope that the letter comes soon, and if it does, it better be worth the wait ( means it better be good news)

Cheerio!

Telephone

2010-03-18T06:35:00.001-07:00

Hello friend! I like this song terribly now, Lady Gaga's Telephone feat Beyonce so do come to me and sing it and i'll sing along! Sometimes i feel i am one of the weirdest people i'll come across in my life. I think i'm weird, well just sometimes. So today let's me blog about 10 weird things that you probably don't know about me, after that, will you still be my friend?

1) I'm awfully quiet on bus rides. Or i want to be. Other than on the bus, i'll be uber chatty and social-butterfly-ish. But when i board a bus, i tend to want to quieten down, plug in my mp3 and fall deep into my own thoughts. Of course if i had a friend on the bus trip with me, i'm kind of obliged to talk to them, cause i wouldn't want to be caught looking like an emo-antisocial freak right?

2) I'm super clumsy and i don't know why. Shouldn't my 5 years of gymnastic training keep me and agile and quick on my toes? Apparently not cause i'm as clumsy as hedgehog. Today i knocked my head against the door of a bus and know i have a painful bahluku on my head. And my friends never forget to remind how i knocked over 10 bags of rice in a supermarket when we were in sec sch. I trip often but luckily don't hurt myself much. Still my clumsy-ness often become a laughing point among peope. Is that good?

3) When i feel lousy about myself, i donate money to make myself feel better. Do you guys do it. If i did something terrible like badmouth people or made a friend angry. I'll drop a few coins or a note into the nearest donation bin. I know that karma doesn't really work like this but i still do it to make myself feel better. I know it's kind of a waste of money which brings me to my next point.

4) I tend to spend more when i have less in my bank. I dunno why but it' always the case when i see something nice and uber worth it to buy, there will always be very little money in my bank. Which leads to either sulk away or suck it up and make myself broke and live on carrot sticks till the end of the month. But when i make an effort to save up so that if i see anything nice to buy i'll have enough savings in my bank, i can't find anything to buy. Kinda sucks right?

5) I like to kahjiao random kids on the streets. Haha i find this extremely amusing about myself. Its like when i see noisy kids on the streets, i'll go SHHH SHHH SHHH! at them and then laugh at their surpirsed faces. Sounds quite sadistic rite? I like to tap on their shoulder and watch them turn around and find no one looking at them. One time i even went up to a kid and said " I don't wanna be friends! Je veux amour!" ala lady gaga bad romance.

6) When i like something i'll keep going back for it until i get sick of it. Like sushi tei! I liked it alot a while ago so i ate it almost everyweek. Then i kinda got sick of it so i didn't eat it for a while but now after i went back to it, i'm hooked on it again and i can't stop myself from going back to it. Songs too! I love telephone now and i listen to it like 20 times a day, i think i'll get sick of it by the end of the week though. Just like i got sick of GEE, and WHATYOUWAITINGFOR.

7) I honestly believe if i catch a falling leaf before it reaches the ground i will have a happy day. I myself think its i vey retarded thing to do chasing a falling leaf. Blame it on an overdoasge of Enid Blyton books. I grew to believe that if i catch a falling leaf from a tree, i will have a happy day on that day, so if i see a falling leave i will discreetly go and catch it.

8) I weigh myself everyday without fail. I personally think its a very OCD behaviour. I mean does anyoe have to weigh themself almost everyday. Maybe i'm just scared that i will gain weight so any indication of a weght gain i can immediately rectify it. Whats even weirder is the fact that i'll cover the scale reading with my hands first before slowly revealing it to myself.

9) I break out into songs at the most randoms of times. An overdose of disney movies or what? When i chat with my friends and reach a climatic convesation topic, i break out into a catchy tune or whatever. It kind of funny sometimes but i just think it'll fit into the mood. Sometimes my friends will join in with me, sometimes they'll just look and me funny.

10) I like to smell things. I mean seriously like to smell things and not just pleasant smelling things. Sometimes when shopping around for clothes i'll just put it up to my nose and sniff it. Anything that catches my eye usually i'll sniff it. Even if i know that something's gonna smell bad, i still sniff it a little.

Haha yes i finished 10 weird things about me. Actually i have a few more but let's just stop here yea, I won't want to seem too weird until people just step away from me totally haha. So till next time see you soon! Sorry i can't blog much cause its been rather busy these few weeks.

♥ to ♥ talk

2010-03-09T03:56:00.000-08:00

Hello stranger! Honestly i think one of the strange qualities i posses in my young 20 years of life is my ability to talk. I really do talk alot and those who i can hold a conversation with, i'll probably enjoy your company. I guess talking is the most basic form of socialisation, as well as communication in human nature. I do enjoy talking cause i just feel happy doing it, is that i good enough answer? As much people think i'm strangely happy all the time, i do have my emo times. (Well seldom anyways i mean who enjoys emoing?) I still talk about it to get it out of my system! Thats a good thing right?

Last night i was having mutiple conversations on MSN and it just came to me how much i enjoy having conversations! I was like going non-stop with with Ryhn, Jiaxin & Wenxiang! Honestly how can there be so much to talk about i wonder. I guess is this affinity you share with someone. It just show how absolutely wonderful life is sometimes. La vie est Belle!

Affinity is like this positive energy that bonds two people together. Like molecular bond energy! Sometime its so strong that you absolutely end up being great together no matter how much you resist. Maybe he/she has BO? Or bad breath? Or fat thighs? As long as affinity is there, i guess you cannot try to resist it. So the thing is, i try as much as i can to accept people for who they are. Sometimes i like materialistic thoughts set into my mind, base my friendship on how they look, how other people look at them. But i guess this isn't the way.

Cause you will never know when you find the ONE. I guess this would be one person that you share the GREATEST "bond energy" with. Just let nature take its course and someday, true love will come. I'm stickler to fairytales. Yes i still believe in them.

So i hope from now on i shouldn't just try to accept everyone as friends. Lower my guard, it'l only do me good. I'm postitive that foundation of humans beings is that everyone is actually good in nature. I believe no one was born bad, it's just the good nature that has to be cultivated. Yes believe that everyone is good in nature and just naturally mingle around, maybe you can actually find a few real good friends in between. It's not a bad investment actually.

As for those whose good nature is not cultivated. I guess naturally i will seperate myself from them. Yes the affinity is unlikely to be there so guess i will really just let nature take its course and surely whats left will be all the people i like to hang out with.

Maybe by then, i reach a whole new level of contentment that i'm unable to enjoy now. Life is beautiful, but it's not fair. Ironic? Actually no, because what is fair but a sense of contenment. Fairness is subjective and that's the beauty of it, thats the beauty of life.

Haha just read an article about THE LAW OF LEAST EFFORT. I find it absolutely the most meaningful thing i've read for a long time! That's why i talking so werid and zen-ish. Haha sorry if i bored you off but i just have to blog this down. Stay happy everyone, that's what's most important in life. Hope you enjoyed my HTHT!

Alice au pays des merveilles

2010-03-07T05:10:00.000-08:00

FINALLY I GOT TO CATCH ALICE IN WONDERLAND! yes yes yes! I've been waiting for this movie for more than a year since the release of the news. Especially excited about the cast and the 3-D blew me away! Ok the movie admittedly is not as good as AVATAR, still i enjoyed every moment of it. Except for the fact there were too many noisy kids in the theatre, i wished i could shuff those 3d glasses up their throats. Urrgh i hate kids.

Sometimes Alice reminds me of myself. Shes pretty much a dreamer and also someone whose very air-headed. Like me, wondering about impossible stuff all the time dreaming too much in her so called wonderland. I realise sometimes the most enjoyable things in life might not be reality, but dreams. Dreams so real sometimes you smile like a Chesire Cat. And other times i hav the most weirdest dreams.

There was this time i dreamt up an entire haunted house myself. Seriously everything was so elaborate that i went back to the same dream several times. The house was like freakin dark and full of lurking shadows in the background. But what always make me wake up was when i climbed to the top of the house. And jumped off, my heart will drop like i was on a roller coaster.

Once of the most recent dreams was me fighting with a few people. Omg weird to the max cause i dreamt that we were out numbered. Our "enemies" took out this toothpick and started pricking it on me, and i was like ouch ouch ouch. Then i took the toothpick and like striked it and it turned into a matchstick. Ok this is a damn weird dream but i remembered going ouch ouch!

There was one dream in kindergarten when i dreamt that i went for my afternoon nap and went to bed. I woke and assumed i was still asleep. I was so convinced that i was asleep that i went up to ask my teacher whether i was dreaming and she just looked at me with a weird look. Honestly i didn't realise i was awake until i went to bed at night and woke up the next day.

And there was this one time i was so convinced to be myself conscious in my dream that i tried really really hard to remember to tell myself i'm dreaming in my sleep. I still remembered the dream was at the car park and i REMEMBERED to tell my parents who were also in my dream that i was dreaming. My mum looked at me and went "YES YOU ARE!" it was so surreal.

There were also several occasions that i dreamt up that i went to Disneyland but as i grew up this so called DISNEYLAND was always changing. The rides became better but still the unforgettable atmosphere is still there. I've been to Disneyland on several occasion and the magical atmosphere just seems to the happiest thing in the world. That's why when i dream of Disneyland i always wake up feeling really really happy the whole day!

And then there are other weird dreams like the time when i dreamt i was in a car during primary school and my mother told me i scored like 10/300 for my psle. Surprisingly i wasn't sad or anything. I just sat in the car stared out of the window. And that time i dreamt that i picked up a trombone and just played it like i was a pro. It was during parade and i dreamt that a senior called jacob fell down and hurt himself. So my staff kaylim told me to hurry put my eupho down and go play the trombone. and so i did. Weird yea?

Haha so there you have it, maybe i dream abit too much but i don't see anything wrong with it. I'm pretty much contented with what i have so i guess i have nothing much realistic to dream about, maybe thats why i dream about this sort of nonsense. But who knows, maybe one day i'll fall down i rabbit hole and slay a Jabberwocky. Can't wait for that dream!

日本の料理

2010-02-25T05:48:00.000-08:00

My parents just came back from ISETAN! didn't wanna tell me do what but probably went out to shop right .... don wan tell me so i won't tag along and WANT THIS WANT THAT!

But at least they came back with a bunch of Japanese Food~! Sushi and Sashimi! If you know me well enough i absolutely ADORE japanese food for mainly a few reason. I love those days when my parents go out to shawcentre on their Friday Movie Dates and bring back some "50% off after 1030" yumyums from the supermarket at the basement of Isetan. Probably the lack of appetite these few days made me even happier when the food arrived. Though not the freshest of the lot, the salmon belly may smell a little. Still i happily munch on it with wasabi and jap soya sauce, while watching SNSD videos on youtube.

I like the taste of japanese food probably cause of this taste. This taste that is unique of jap food, korean food does not taste the same. I wonder what this magical ingredient is but it taste refreshing. Beside most jap food are hardly oily, yet retaining it's ultra tasty value. Now THAT'S magic. Besides the fact that it's loaded from carbs, japanese food under my consideration is one of the most healthy food in the entire world. Unless you find some other country that like eats boiled vege and brown rice porridge as their staple.

I remember when i went to japan, i had japanese food everyday. It was like a little piece of heaven for 7 days i was munching on the best yumyums. Whatever japanese cuisine i had in singapore before, i had it in japan , from takoyaki to the tastiest ramen you can ever imagine. And even some other japanese food like gold-foil tofu.

I guess another reason why i like jap food is from my dad who is an avid fan since like dunno when. When we were young special occasions always ought to be celebrated in like sakae, or sushi tei. However my mother can never understand then why would anyone like cold and bland raw fish. Still as time passed, we all cultivated the love for this food that now my mum wouldn't complain if i wanted to go waraku for dinner.

Japanese fusion dishes are not entirely bad either but i still prefer authentic. Jap pasta and jap burgers are quite tasty as well. Though i cannot understand the taste of squid ink pasta. I tink its just taste and looks awful.

So nowadays when my frens and I go out for dinner. They'll know theres only one place i'll suggest. Sushi TEI! Haha i absolutely love their RAINBOW ROLL! Affordable and yummy! Ok actually Sushi tei stuff is NOT that affordable. But still worth it rite?

So guys when can we go SUSHI TEI?

Sourire!

2010-02-23T07:20:00.000-08:00

Some videos you can just play again and again and you can never can sick of it, thank god to the inventors of youtube. You have changed my life.

Simply can't wait!

A cover in SNSD style, always addictive

Oh my 天!

Miss you much!

Oh Oh Oh Oh .... OK!

2010-02-23T05:54:00.000-08:00

Gosh i didn't really have a really good week to start off. Urggh part and parcel of life.

Questions to determine your week =)

Sometimes when you really don't want to do something but things are forced upon you so what do you do ?
1) Push it away at all cost and try to arrow someone else to do
2) Make best out of the situation and try to push responsibility to someone else cause obviously no one wants to be in charge
3) LLST and take charge and hope for the best for everyone

When you are suppose to throw ideas of the walls but everyone keeps pushing your ideas off but refuses to bring about anything productive in the discussion what do you do?
1) Throw more and more ideas until finally something agreeable to everyone surfaces
2) Insist on your idea and watch everyone sulk
3) Force the other people to think and watch them sulk (even more)

When finally the group has an agreeable idea to work on ...
You call for rehearsals and group members grumble, come in late what do you do?
1) Give them an encouraging plead and call them to remind them about rehearsals
2) Wait in the room until everyone decides to come for rehearsals
3) Give up and just cancel rehearsals

When you finally have your rehearsals and people are not concentrating, i.e doing other stuff like maybe .... revising up on ones extensive knowledge of an exotic language. resulting in yourself having to constantly repeat what you say what do you do?
1) Scream at them and rip their whatever materials into shreds!
2) Continue with rehearsals until they finally realise that they're suppose to be having rehearsals NOT doing other stuff.
3) Tell them firmly to stop what they are doing at a risk of watching them sulk for the rest of the day

When you fail your vetting and ask for extra rehearsals but some of your groups members are too tired to go for extra rehearsals, what SHOULD you do?
1) Give them another encouraging fake plead till they relent and go for rehearsals
2) Continue with rehearsals with other members who are less tired
3) Give up.

If out of the 5 questions you chose the following combination - 3, 1, 1, 2, 1
I'm sorry its gonna be a hell of a bad week.

Coupled with other random vexing stuff like a missing mouthpiece, failed vetting and a grade 5 exam to worry about = PMS TO THE MAX WEEK

I rarely, rarely feel so down in the dumps. When i was walking down with some of the other people and they asked me why i was all so quiet and emo. I did try to smile, try to strike conversation but its so weird that i was mentally unable to do that, i dunno why. Is that what people call emo? Its such a weird feeling.

I mean if i even come close to such a thing i would always talk it away with someone but i dunno why this time is so hard, even if i tried talking to as many people without feeling like a bitching ass, i still can't shake the feeling away. I guess this is what a blog is for.

And the failed vetting omg! I honestly think it wasn't that bad, how come its turned out this way. I guess mostly it was my fault cause i screwed up the first song can ended up in nervous giggles.

Still i would like to thank the D&D people for putting in such a commendable effort. Especially Fhairil! OMG without you i honestly think we can't put this D&D together. I really really have to thank you for this, you're so patient!

And thank you very much to james for volunteering to take over alvin. Wenxiang for your useful advices. and lyehuat for helping out with the movement. I really have to thank these seniors for their help!

But the most important question of all time ought to be,
If you feel you have already tried your best, give your all resulting in extreme mood swings, crankiness, sore throat. Yet no one appreciates you for efforts/ people just can't be bothered, what to do?
1) Suck it up and finish the freaking job, of course with a big smile lalala~
2) Give up?

(1)

Adieu, Occupez-en!

2010-02-14T19:46:00.000-08:00

My blog post are getting lesser and lesser! I think soon i'll just decided to shut down this little haven and write in my handphone or something =p Cause everytime i have something to blog, i don't seem to be at home, or near the computer, or like near any wi-fi, or like near anything. I'm usually taking a long bus ride home, happy in my own thoughts. Then something will strike me and i will keep a mental note to blog it but the mental note usually fades within 1/2 hr. You know me la

Suddenly i recieve like alot of sms-es going like, "Hey i'm leaving soon let's meetup!"

Its seems like when you're in NS you are meeting out alot with your friends but still its not enough. You just can't seem to get everyone together in one special occasion cause everyone just seems so busy. But it's still alrite i guess this is part of growing up. So i've been meeting up with two of my really really good friends and spending like major money cause you know you have to make the last few moments the bestest.

Had a blast hanging out with Nina one more than a few occasions. Basically we've been out and about Singapore to eat good stuff and do major catch up.

Went to Cafe Del Mar @ Sentosa with yilin hf and of course nina to eat some really delish stuff. It was bloody empty there cause it was a weekend night. Went to the Luge as well!

Met up with the rest of the class @ timbre another weekend night just listened to the live band and catching also.

Met up yilin and nina for the last time at rail-mall. We ate at hooked! which was like this fish&co thingy. After that went to nina house and binged on a huge tub of icecream while watching just of laughs.
and then finally sent her off to NZL with joel, leonard, andrew, cheerin, yanlan, bairong & yilin.

BYE BYE NINA! Off to study Engineering in NZL, Auckland

Of course then there's my other very close friend from primary school. Polly! Knew each other since like forever la, in gym and same class in pri 5, 6

Went out with her and Sujing on a weekday night, to go prawning! Haha though we didn't manage to break our astounding record of 52 prawns with jiayun. We still had a blast of a time, talking and reminiscing. Talking about our future and other funny stuff. Prawns were yummily fresh as usual, no tummy aches!

Monday for my off-in-lieu went out to eat the polly sujing again. This time we attempted to sneak into hpps but only manage to find our classroom before being sent out by the security =p After that we just had yummy ice-cream at the new daily scoops near holland village. Yummy butterscotch icecream milkshake. All of us never changes, mentally. Though physically we may had drastic changes. *errhemm! We're still that same few kids that could hang around anywhere and just have fun soaking off each others company. That's primary school

BYE BYE POLLY! who went to AUS Melbourne to study Podiatry!

Then there are my two of my closest Euphonium Seniors who are also off to pursue their dreams, both of them really independent.

Henry! Though the last time we met was like a few months ago. I would still like to wish you the very best in AUS. You were a really caring senior, though not in the most direct way but i know you still wish for the best future for me and mel. Take care and hope to see you soon! You were one funny senior!

BYE BYE HENRY. Off to AUS Melbourne to study some finance course that i cannot spell.

Then theres the most recent senior Justin. Yes hey justin. Even though you like to scold me alot but i think most of it didn't go through my thick skull. But still i remembered the advices you have given me. Talk about hearing only the good stuff. Still i had a blast with you around and i hope to see you real real soon. Hope you enjoy yourself! If you come back with a photography degree instead, i can lend me my place to stay before your parents decide to kill you.

BYE BYE JUSTIN! Who went to UK Wales to study Accountancy.

I think thats all of the closer people who left to study overseas of course there are other people that i know who are also studying overseas but can't write anything cause i dunno them well =p Till next post, bye bye!

PS finally came about to get another blogskin! chio rite?

My Two Cents are worth in Pounds

2010-01-24T04:04:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I know the regularity of my post are now becoming lesser and lesser. Sorry if you do enjoy reading my blog cause that'll be something less you'd be able to look forward to ...haha being bhb here. Well i think probably cause know i'm beginning to stay in more and more. I mean i really don't see a point in going home to reach home so late, then wake up at the crack of dawn to report to work. Grrr.. doesn't sound logical even for me. Besides theres a Wii in the bunk, its not ours but the owner is nice enough to let us use it... how very thoughtful. I'll try to blog at least once a week so that my blog won't start growing mould like the last time i was addicted to maple. Actually its starting to grow some pretty awful Photobucket images on the top... ewww.

This post is gonna be about my thoughts for the month cause as you i'm pretty intellectual so i think pretty much about everything. Actually most of the stuff are just plan randomness but i think you should read it, cause my two cents, are worth in pounds.

D&D
Well at least we're finally starting on our rehearsals. I know practically all of us do not wan to do thing dinner and dance performace. And we've been going over the peroformance choices for at least two months, i'm glad that we've been able to settle on something that most people would be comfortable with. Though we may not be the most pysc-ed up group hoping to bag the prize, we're still working hard on it. I'm really relieved that the performers from batch 80 & 81 are able to come together and throw ideas to finally get something that's gonna be hopefully, spectacular. Thanks to biwei and sinchin for being so supportive even though i know very well you two don't want to be in this performance. Thank you very much to fhairil also for helping all of us with figuring out the music. Hopefully this will all work out and we will enjoy ourselves.... KATS!

Oh!
Omg i'm so glad that Girl's Generation finally put out their 2nd full length studio album! Yay and a usual their songs suit me just fine and i enjoy listening to their new hit OH! on repeated mode. Thanks to yilin who is a even BIGGER snsd fan than me, she told me exactly when the album will be out and i also had sinchin remind on too. Favourite songs? Day by Day which i think is an OST of Beethoven Virus, like the chillax latin vibe of that song. Talk to me is somewhat similar. And of course OH OH OH~ And i'm so glad that they put Geee & Genie in their album as well which makes its even more fantastic!

CNY Shopping
Had to do CNY shopping earlier this year cause next week i'm simply too busy with my COG! and preperations for Maris Stella concert. Yep, after the consultation from fashionista Ryhn and fashionis-blah alrik. I decided smart casual wear for the entirety of the CNY visitings. Bought 3 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans and still looking out for good deals. I decided to buy more pastel & bright coloured shades for my shirts cause i guess thats what lacking in my wardrobe. Yes some of my others frens are about having far more drastic makeovers, so i decided to have my own little one! Very happy with my steal from tommy hilfiger denim! Shirt for $83... yay!

Blackberry!
After a revelating dream that i had a month ago. I've decided that i want a blackberry badly! Yes like REAL badly can. Not an over-consumed apple iphone and not a china iphone - htc. I want a taste of the sweet berry even if its not gonna make any sense. I decided to try to get a second hand bb 8800 but its really damn hard cause it a very very old model so its gonna be hard to get it. But its still the best non camera phone of its and time up till now. I have tot of getting the curve 8250 but its a camera phone which means i might *gulp get 7 extras if i'm not carful. And usually i'm not the most alert of people.
~On a side note, i recieved an apple of another sort, but the apple was far too sweet =s ... i like though

Losing weight
I need to lose weight like badly. My body has a bad delay reaction where only a few weeks after i binge, then i gain weight. So i would have the impression that i'm still fine on the slim track then BOOM! My weighing scale reads a number that is even higher than my IQ level. So i need to start exercising now to becoming fit enough its stay slim through the chinese new year season. Imagine all those chinese new year goodies, how can anyone resist it. So its time to run run run! Jiayou Jiayou i want my 66 back!

Joyeux Vingtième Anniversaire

2010-01-17T00:58:00.000-08:00

The 200th Post would be one about one of the most important days of the year. Well maybe for me at least cause today is 17th January which is one day after MY BIRTHDAY.I dunno what izit about birthdays but i alwasy try to make someone's birthday special for them. I don feel its very much to ask for so i just do it. But yet when people do things for you on your birthday, whether it's a birthday card, presents, a nice cake, sms or even a short message on facebook.... the feeling is pure magic. So to all those people out there who did .... i would like to say

"Merci Beaucoup!"

Thank you very much to you people out there who remembered my birthday, i really appreciate it very much.

On friday, a very cute card was given, one of the many reason was that it was wrote " For a Baby Girl's 1st Birthday" ok.... but still

Thank you to James, Shaoming, Timothy & Jacob

In the late afternoon, Sinchin and I were surpised by a very nice strawberry shortcake by my very own batch 80. Even though they couldn't see it but i was already flushing red , my face felt rather hot ... so i guess thank you to batch 80! You are the best batch of bandmates any bimbo could hav ever asked for.

Thank you to Biwei, Sinchin, Johan, Anthony, Eng Loong, Zhichao, Coleman, Jared, Qin Jie, Fadli, John & Nicholas.N

Another cute card was presented by the band a batch 80 peeps which made me laugh... actually it was quite funny!

Thank You to Eng Loong, Anthony, Fadly, Johan, Zhichao, Nicholas.N & Benjamin.L

But the most funny thing i recieved that day has got to be by Skinny Band B peeps. Once i opend the poorly wrapped newspaper, i just stoned there for like 2 mins then i started to laugh.. Biwei said it wasn't tt funny but i still think it was... OMG sinchin has such immpecable taste. Well for one thing it's BRANDED alrite =p

Thank You very much! to Sinchin, Biwei, John & Fhairil, you really made my day.

Monday i was surprised by some of the stay-inners with a delish blackforest cake. Wah that one i totally didn't expect cause i thought they switch-ed off the lights cause they wanted to sleep. So i really thought they were just gonna sing me a birthday song. I was like " Wait for me to finish my wii game first then you all sing can?!". When i turned around i was taken aback by the two lovely candles sitting on the cake. Omg i'm so happy lor!

Thank You to Timothy, Reuben & ShaoMing for the lovely cake and also....

Thank You to Kahsiong, Luke, Nelson, Sinchin and some of the batch 81 people which i forgot their names... for that lovely rendition of the Birthday Song!

Today the seniors brought me to .... SUSHI TEI! For a birthday treat, ok i think i over ordered a little so i'm so sorry that i had taken out of your pockets and i promise i'd remember all of your birthdays! Thanks i had fun today, you guys are awesome seniors!

Thank You to Wei Lung, James, Weishu, Wilson, Timothym, LyeHuat, ShaoMing, WenXiang & Reuben!

And also to the people who attended Suite 20! Thanks alot to Yimin and Ali who spent so much effort and time to plan this nice hotel stay which i enjoyed thoroughly!

Happy 2010 Everyone! Last year was not a very good year for me so i hope this year would be a much better year! I love January cause its the time of the year where new beginnings are possible. New hopes, new dreams. Everything just seems possible and there izin't the time you won't feel like trying harder. Being a January Baby is a pretty awesome thing too. I really like being a january baby, dunno why but january babies just seem to grow being the nicest people to hang around. They are quicky and funny, sociable but not over-bearing. Not talking about myself only haha but yes i like being a january baby.

Still this post izin't about me but its to say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINCHIN!

Haha small ass picture of us 三姐妹! ( Inevitably the birthday card in this photo does not belong to sinchin but it plays the part yea!)

Yes sin to the chin chin to the sin as the band a folks call you! Have a very happy birthday! Even though i know you don't like to make your birthday a big hoohaa, i believe everyone's birthday is very important and they should be able to feel extra special on that said day.

Thanks for being such a friend in SAF bands, as biwei always say, you are there to compensate for our over-bitchyness and over-bearing nonsense. Even though you are an entire year younger than me, it always seems that you are looking out for me more =p. So thanks alot to our 慢三拍小妹!

Once again, Happy New Year!

thank you ♥

Happy Christmas everyone. Since the photos are not coming in i've decided to put Project Sweet Escape to a standstill. Actually loads of stuff happened during my block leave but i shall have to write it down on another day before i totally forget about it. Just came back from a overnight mahjong session @ jackson's place. Boy, what a way to celebrate a christmas night. Got a mildly drunk and won $28! Yay! I guess booze and mahjong DO mix, makes you luckier =D

Finally before the malaysia trip i just made it in time to finish all of the christmas cards. It was really at the eleventh hour lor so i hurriedly pack my stuff and left the country. With the cards quietly falling into people mailboxes, friends smsed me notes of thanks but what i would really like to say was to THANK YOU.

This year wasn't the best for me. My loved one left me, my A levels were bad. Still friends were everywhere with me along the way. Guiding me on what courses to choose and so on. So i really thank all of you tonnes and tonnes. I love you all! ( In a fren fren way =D)

Talked to a few friends and i know i haven't been the best of one yet. I know i can be quite a terrible friend cause i'm a very very IGNORANT person and sometime i just not sensitive enough at that point of time to understand what my friends are thinking. Sometimes i have no choice but to desert one fren for another under dire circumstances but i want you guys to know that you all are really really dear to my heart. Especially to my Marist Friends.

So i do other little stuff to make them happy. Sending them Christmas cards is one of them. Maybe helping out in planning a gathering? I dunno what else i should do =s.

So happy christmas to all my friends. I really enjoy company with every single one of you. I'm a very easy to please person! I love all of you =D.

So here are some choice sms i recieved yesterday : thanks thanks to everyone of them

Sinchin : Reminder: Christmas, the season of giving, a day where joy is
shared. However, rmb nt to lose ur head in the fun andgiv urself away :) Merry Christmas ( I know what he's driving at =P)

Inez : Merry christmas my favourite sexy divaaa!

Jonathan: Hey, just read the card you sent me. Its really sweet and i'm
really touched. Thanks yongdi and have a merry merry christmas too.
Cheers! ( Awww so sweet!)

Sinchin: Okok. Muacks to u too. Hav a merry night (After i promised him i
won't get drunk on christmas night)

Nigel: Hello! Wanted to use flowery language, but I decided to spread the
yultide joy the traditional way: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ryhn: Merry X'mas to all my coolest frens! May the liquor pour on e
alcoholics, vouchers fly to the shopaholics, discounts jump at the foodaholics
=))))))

Darren: Omg, you admitted,bitch. Yes yes, thanks for being such a wonderful friend i can ever ask for too, and the xmas cars you never fail to snd! Super nice of you ohkay. And i hope you enjoy your xmas to! MERRY XMAS! Gotta see you soon for the new year to come! :D (really really sweet!)

Biwei: Sc sms all very funny. What don lose yourself. You go sex meh. Haha ( Always the bitch at any occasion ;D)

Nina: BONGDIBOO MERRY XMAS BACK AT YOU (: LOVE YOU LONG TIME SISTER ( Sister in da hood greeting :D)

Timothy: Hello my beautiful daughter! Merry merry christmas and a blessed new year! Love mummy!

Hong Sheng: Thanks i had recieved the x'mas card. Merry x'mas. Can find
some days to play duets =) ( Yay duets with awesome hongsheng!)

AND .... Alrik! : Hi. Ok so tml Mj my hse wat time u wanna start? Haha. (
WTF send him xmas greeting only know how to jio me for mj, nvr even say

Yes so thanks thanks to all the smses i recieved you guys really have the heart aww..

I now leave you with my favourite christmas song so that you can play it over and over again in my dysfunctional blog. HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

THE MADCAP ADVENTURES OF YONGDI & FRIENDS IN A PLACE THAT'S TRULY ASIA!

Hello guys! My block leave has finally arrived but it'll all seem to happen so so fast! It already wednesday which means i only have around 3 days before i have to leave for malaysia then come back for work again. Haha sighs, trying to make the fullest out of the remaining days yet i don't want to go out too much cause i wanna rest and relax on my bed yea.

Yes as the title explained, this is a post about my impromptu trip to johor~ it was really really spontaneous seriously. I only toked to timothy about it on sat and we were settled to head to johor on monday. Throw in a even more on fifi and we're ready set to go! (I only asked fif on sunday evening and he readily agreed!)

Monday work up bright and early to head to kranji to meet them and then its off we go to malaysia!

Going through the custom happy me!

And we finally reached ... not too long the most 30 mins!

Fifi me and timothy ready to chiong food and shopping!

Breakfast no.2 at those typical indian food places. Had my mee goreng and its actually not bad at all..... look at the clean plate!

We then headed to city square where i saw F.O.S! eyes started to water in joy again when we chionged in to look for good deals. In the end i bought a 30rm tee which i kinda liked. Cheap buy mah!

We then headed to Reject Shop ( yea we kept making a beeline for the thrift store cause we are poor struggling musicians)

Rumbled through reject shop and was like utterly disappointed that there wasn't any stuff that was a good bargain. And those that have some decency wasn't in my size. All super big ! Yes i'm too small for the shirts *smiles oddly to self. Timothy bought some tees from reject shop though . (que ding* Tim's buy from Reject Store #1)

Next from city square we headed to a hear-say mall, Jusco Terbau City! Couldn't pronounce the name for nuts till fifi corrected me! It was actually a mega mall in the middle of nowhere!

Dunno what kind so stupid pose is that ( not trying to ask for a fag)

Rustic malaysian view of rusty signboards

And we're finally at Jusco megamall!
Happy are we!

The mall is DAMN HUGE can! It's those kind of malls that are in KL, authentic to big brands which i enjoy to shop at. The stuff are slightly cheaper than singapore's but but its still too expensive! Bought boxer's with tim at the WH store.... mine in rad!

Saw a reject store again so me and tim to take a look while fifi went for a fag. I was telling myself that i HAVE to find something from this bargains but to my disappointment nothing in my size or style again. Tim got a ecko jacket from this reject store at a 40rm steal

(que *ding Tim's buy from Reject Store #2!)

The photo is too small but the security guard in this mall has those fugly berets with the tiny feather duster on it. Like james'

Settled lunch at the mall and after looking at many CHEAP restaurants finally settled for this sizzling stonegrill.

This restaurant had this cute jungle setting! so cute!

Hungry me awaiting my food. I ordered a steak at 24.90 rm ! C'est ne pas cher!

Tim ordered mutton and fifi ordered chicken! All comes with fries and mixed vege ( which ironically only included corn and no other vegs -_-")

Sorry was too hungry that i forgot to ask for a photo. Thats left of my steak... the fatty part is shiok! Basically its a raw steak on what they said was a volcanic slab of rock heated to 400 degrees. So you can enjoy the steak from rare..... to medium..... to well-done!..... to burnt =D

After shopping around the mall for a while .... I dragged the guys to the supermarket. Cause i love to visit the supermarket! Rows and rows of grocery makes my eyes sparkle! Anyways we went past the seafood section and there were like flies in the fishes.... damn gross

After that we went out to look for another mall. Fifi went to call his friends to ask around but the connection was bad so we didn't get any suggestions. So we decided to ask the friendly cab driver for some clue. He wanted us to go to some place called ANGSANA. Tim wanted to wing it and just go so off we went to whereever angsana was... at rm25 taxi! Argh

Here we are at Angsana... my expression basically is a summary of what i feel about the place.

What can i say..... it a VERY MALAYSIA kind of mall. Very little stalls that are of singapore style . In the end we still found a shop that sold nice nice clothes! Bout tees at 2 for 30rm! Not bad quality! C'est ne par cher!

Found ANOTHER reject store and i was ready to go chiong alrdy! Went through rows and Rows and ROWS of clothes and i still didn't find anything! D=

In the end, Timothy found his print shirt to wear for a party in this thrift store. It's actually quite fugly, can fight with james one...

(que * ding Tim's buys from Reject Store #3)

We then headed to macdonalds for tea. They already started having the prosperity meal that somes custom to Singapore's CNY.... I ordered the curly fries i like alot. Fifi had this amazing;y delicious chicken porridge! very very nice and salty! SAVOURY!

Stupid Sign.

Next we totally went to Danga Bay for a bit of salty fresh sea air

On the cab fifi sat into front and started to have this fake conversation with the cab driver on how hes from KL visiting jb and we're both from singapore visiting him which we all were friends from college in Canada. What a tall tale! As tall as jacob!

While me and timmy took stupid photos likes off..

4 and 5 i couldn't be bothered to post.

Tim trying to make out yongdi's lupcheong lips.....FUCK YOU

And we finally reached danga bay.... had this little street market at the corner

Fifi totally bought this 10rm Ray Ban sunnies

The sun began to set which drew a beautiful scenery on the seaside casting splashes of oranges and red hue to the sky

Me and fifi with the sun setting sky~

Went down to the seaside for more photos but dunno what kind of slutty pose fifi is up to

Group photo.... 3

Silly bimbo jump shot

Silly macik jump shot... fifi does this little squeal when he jumps! cute.

Silly fat jump shot.... Belly Flop...pftt

The tent behind was a circus! Like a real circus! I was so astounded i was like "OMG IT'S A FUCKING CIRCUS" and two horny minds started to giggle.

Carousel! A real double level carousel at the local amusement park!

Totally wasted 10rm on this silly rollercoaster/hauntedhouse ride... fif and i were laughing like crazy in this ride cause it's so damn stupid.

Fifi with Ray Ban sunnies... more like Ray Boon.... haha

This has got to be the nicest shot in the album.... sighs..

Tim and fifi at the yatch yard

Don't mind us, look at the pretty golden ball behind us

Doing stupid poses again

This one's even worse... trying to look as if they were in a cold country

So we walked around Danga Bay looking at the breath-taking sunset and stomachs decided to star grumbling. Wanted to look for seafood dinner and we actually saw a really huge signboard like a mile away

Decided to walk towards the signboard that remsembled like a cockroach and a giant coachroach. As we approached the signboard it was actually a prawn and a lobster.

Follow the neon signboard to the left.... a gauche... and found ourselves at a giant seafood restuarant... with a room full of live seafood, valet parking, waitress at the doorstep.

Having around 100rm to go around between us three.... we knew we couldn't afford it.

Tried to find a cab when we saw a car with a light on top and tried to flag for it shouting teksi teksi........ It was actually a police car.

We finally found our cab and went back to city square mall!

Settled for secret recepie instead cause it was much cheaper than seafood!

Me and tim ordered tomyum kung and look how GINORMOUS our prawn is... it really fucking huge!

Enjoy my two giant prawns with much delish..... yes i know i look extremely tak glam using my bare hands to eat... but wad evs.

After dinner, timothy that huge glutton decided he needed a prosperity burger meal so we went to macs to settle him that.

At around 10 we finally got tired enough to head back to home sweet singapore home!

Tired faces... i know i always flip my eyes abit of white when i sleep

Back at kranji mrt station

Full and happy with our impromtu trip... it was really loads of damn good fun!

Hello! I'm so sorry that i haven't got the time to blog this 2 week cause i've been extremely busy so here i am again to updtae my dysfunctional blog. Yes i know the skin has expired but i can't find the time to go shop for skins so just take it as an absract yea?

This past week has been very very busy! But i had so much fun whether i'm out with friends or in band. Haha maybe i one of those rare few that actually find some job satisfaction in national service.... or maybe i'm just easily contented. I think i am, because i found myself forgetting all the annoying stuff that happened along the way ..... like real easy. ~totally

Friday

Got the chance to play for the ASLC POP cause i was attached into band A. Actually i was damn excited to go cause i get to meet alot of my friend who when into sispec and are finally graduating. And also i my platoon mates who are graduating from this batch. When i reached pasir labar, immediately zoomed out to find all of sct frens. Manage to find some of them anyway. Jon, Dick, Edwin. I was so excited to meet jon cause finally after all both of us have suffered in bmtc... and den jon in aslc... (obviously he suffered like WAY more than me) we both finished out courses. Jon is like my buddy for everything in bmtc. PT, route marching, drill group whatever.

Let's just leave as that the parade was FAR more interesting than when i did the previous one with my own band.

Me with 3SGT Edwin, BMTC Commander (Lucky shit)

Moi et 3SGT Dick, 1st S.I.R GPMG Commander!

3SGT Jonathan! Medic Spec in Air Force 1st Squadron Search and Rescue (COOL TITLE)

Some of the leopard folks, Fehrul in 6th Div and Min in BMTC!

I was in the leader's square of whatever it was called where the newly graduated specs had their reception. I was looking for all my friends but only manage to find a few like gerald shngzhi and melvin . Found myself discreetly covering my LCP rank on both shoulders. All those 3SGT with the condescending looks on me!

Saturday

Went for CJC tune in. I seriously think i should help out my juniors more cause i know they are capable of playing great. Seriously all of them are so much more hardworking than when me and melissa were around. (like what? hiding in the classroom and playing stupid games)

Didn't really participate in the tune in games but i watched them and chatted with some of my peers and seniors. Some of which were also in SAF bands... wooo gossip.

No comments on the stupid face photos though. But it was shot by an SLR. so must put right?

After tune in i went for my usual french lesson before meeting my former section for dinner. Seniors section dinner which included Henry our SL, mel edwin and i. Jiaxin was there too cause shes our Da Sao. (Means shes our SL's gf)

Met at Raffles city which we had wraps beside the fountain. Chatted about NS, uni life and jiaxin a level results and as usual talk alot of nonsense which we euphos liked to do. Then we headed to ben & jerrys which i never knew exsisted until that day. Edwin decided to treat me to an icecream sundae =D =D. WHY?

He wanted to treat me cause i played for his spec grad on friday. =)

Ask you where can you find such GOOD friends! haha we chatted about our old band life, the australia trip, the syf days. Those were good times that i'll never forget cause .... when you're having genuine fun with ur fren, ....the feeling is unforgettable. ahhh GREAT TIMES! sounds like i'm damn old when i'm still a teen.

Sunday

Almost forgot. I had COG! Haha SUPPORT! Lucky me being the junior i had to brave the rain and play ~oh-bloody.Lovely. Tiring but the christmas feeling was in the air... i dunno why but its just orchard gives off the christmas mood wherever. So i actually enjoyed playing the 2 SPDF christmas songs.

Climb back labourously back up the istana when we started to play CHALLENGES! My trio part was coming and i practiced it a while ago so it will sound real nice and loud. But SIAN! My vaulve stuck and my eupho give a nuah sound.... so my trio was ruined.... I looked at staff and he had that pek chek face. I was so sad that i exclaimed loudly!! " AIYA MY VAULVE STUCK" But staff still came and knock my head.

At night went to to dinner with biwei, sc coleman, russell and joshua. Finally had some pyjm time with biwei and sc. Happy!

Monday - Wednesday!

Monday to Wednesday was entirely made up to serve the recruits pop in tekong. I literally spent my waking hours on parade. After i was done with it, i was so freakin tan and sunbrunt. But actually i like the way i look when i was tan. Dunno whether it was psycological but i just look skinnier and fitter. Kind of liked the healthy glow man.

Monday was the worse. The morning session we had 5 rehearsals... FIVE just the morning. It really killed me man. Luckily peiling gimme a good massage haha.... she's good. And i had a exchange with engseng for a backrub also. Sweet deal! But engseng wasn't as good as peiling, made me a little ticklish. Peiling alos did that press hand massage that jon used to do to me during bmtc .... made me damn relax. Luckily the afternoon session only required TWO rehearsals so in the end we did SEVEN parades dammit!

Tuesday and wednesday parades were alrite. But i had to do the parade alone without justin cause he had a little accident. Well i guess i have to get use to it cause he's gonna ORD soon. Must blow even louder than before now. BLOW WITH ALL MY MIGHT. luckily i had some positive feedback that i can actually be heard on parade now. YAY!

Between parades we just did alot of childish nonsense like naming each other after characters from the 7pm channel 8 Show.

I was the Dajie cause i am loud mouth and very easy malu myself

Biwei is Erjie cause of his jie pi (cleaniness freak)

SC was xiaomei cause he in chinese - slow 3 steps

Shaoming was our lao dou cause of his frugal-ness

Timothy was our mummy cause he got chenliping size

James was our ahma.... actually for no apparent reason

Oh and staff like totally treated us to canteen food. Between the cheers of joy and the ~Obladi Oblada, mei tou fa mei tou fa! We had loads of rotijohn and waffles.

At night went out with some of the seniors for dinner with SC. So we went for chicken rice. They like orders 2 chickens. LIKE TWO WHOLE CHICKENS with the heads tucked nicely at the front. With sc being vegetarian we only had 6 people complete such a feat. I mean i never had so much chicken in one decent meal. I didn't know my seniors ate THAT much but they did. After that we even went for an after-meal frap. What de...

Thursday!

Totally unexpected-ly fun! Biwei like totally fell sick (yea right) So left me john sc and fifi to brave the day together.

Massive fun i tell you! It was like a gazillion times for fun than our previous RnR at bukit timah hill. We had rugdby and dragged each other into the sea! Splash water like little kids and all. I found back my love for beach holidays which i frequent when i was like sec 1/2 times when my body was still relatively hot. Next holiday - Redang anyone? (Not including the HK trip tt one is a MUST!)

TOUCH Rugdby! Brass vs Wood-cussion! Guess who won

Of course Wood-cussion. But the reason why we lost wasn't the fact that i was in the brass team and i have no ball sense (which is only HALF true!).... it was cause their had like uber atheletic people can! Like lyehuat and joachim daniel weishu and like....~~james .... wenxiang~~

Got ambush into the water while attempting to play volleyball. Woo see-through!

I have to put this down. I'M SO STRONG CAN CAN PUT A GREEN COW ON MY BACK!!

When i went back to shore wanted to tan with shaoming. When to put the 3.90rm tan lotion that james bought but it had that awful carrot smell. Then james tim and jacob kept disturbing me and after a while the sun went out =( Guess someone hates me and wants me to look like a multi-tone freak

After the trip we went to vivo city for lunch. Went around vivo city to shop you know... actually there are some folks in my band which i figure could make decent shopping buddies. You know half of their taste are actually not bad .... quite similar to mine. And futher more i love watching people spend money. It makes me happy to see new stuff being bought. And shopping with paris hilton makes me have the chance to enjoy INDIRECT RETAIL THERAPHY! wee! Doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you buy something.... ! Made everyone follow me to desigual to find prints which i didn't buy in the end. And also made lyehuat and james follow me to body shop which we intended to get lots of stuff.... moisturser, bronzer, facial wash. In the end i only got my cocoabutter lip balm.

Made songhua fetch me home so thanks alot. Had a good chat with him when he only realised who i was in cj like an hour ago when i showed him my 11b fatface. But who am i to blame. It took me an entire day to realise that the "Blake" who tagged on my blog was acutually him. I didn't know i could link to his blog by clicking on the word "Webbie".

Friday!

Had another mahjong session with alicia hc and zy! woohoo tee29! Actually won $15 in the first round cause i had like 7 duzi twice in a row! But i clear tray in second round! So lost $15 in nett

BAH! But alicia had as stay for dinner and i can confirm her Sushi can cook better than my previous maid like a gazzilion and one times. So thanks alot for the good old home cook food.

Saturday!

Yesterday was the first day i could actually find time to relax and catch my ugly betty when timothy kept trying to be a spoiler. Between the piano and french lessons, i actually found time to do loads of stuff. On first trying to start writing my christmas cards. Atually was suppose to sing overnight K with the tee 29 peeps but it got cancelled. And i don wanna go rebel again.

Sunday!

Went out with MSSB folks. Hahah i haven said for a very long time cause usually the outing involves our entire clique RAY + MSSB . But today alrik and ryhn couldn't make it so it was Xiuhao, Darren, Aron, Dick and Jason. Made them go to sushi teh cause i haven got fix of rainbow roll for like wad seemed a century. Paragon n had like sales everywhere. SALES SOLDES! Makes my eyes water in joy like mad. Banana republic tee were only like $30. We saw this ralph lauren tee that says lifeguards. $69. Wanted to get for his birthday which was in may. But called him to double confirm but he didn't reply. Don't blame us alrik.

Headed down to 313 for my virgin trip. Crowded like mad, all the shops are the same. Uniqlo was HUGE but filled with aunties and uncles of all sizes. So bah left within half an hour.

We went to jason's new house after that! OMG freakin hell the house is real NEAT can! The elevator goes straight up to jason house. Heard of those before but never actually went into one.

Went for a tour in the house and it was really damn nice. Jason and his 2 other bros were all from band so we knew their family pretty well.

Jason had the room with the toilet

Justin had the room with the balcony

James had the room with nothing.

WTF
Two times marist of the year (pri & sec) gets a room with nothing. If i had it my way james would have gotten the junior master. But who am i to say, i'm not the one with the rich private elevator condo. Neither am i the one with the huge stash of pirated dvds which had all the lastest movies straight from indonesia.

So we settled for american pie 7! Haha funny shit. At the same time we also did what we always fo when we had a computer in front of us. FB stalk other people's albums then proceed to criticise all their photos. Damn bitch right.

So thats the end of my extremly long and busy week. As i said it was tiring but still it was fun. REAL fun i guess cause in the blink of an eye my fun week was gone. Oh wells i have Block Leave to look forward to! And the malaysia trip!

I 'm hoping to be more relaxed this block leave cause i have been out and about for far too long. Hopefully not too many activities lined up for me. Cause not only have i got like 40 -50 chritmas cards to post. I also need to brush up my french for the test the coming saturday. AND workout a bit cause mr.flab is making a come back. Don't wanna look like a fat tart in my photos in malaysia.

2009-11-28T05:44:00.000-08:00

I have this warm fuzzy feeling about this week's passing. It actually feels kind of good cause i think i've been going out more, meeting people that i haven met in a long long time. The feeling of having lots of great friends surrounding you everyday is such a great sensation. Can you say orgasmic?

Monday, finally Ryhn is back in the sunny shore of singapore, we immediately called out for a little gathering at the god-forsaken liang court. Whats even better is the fact that i could leave slightly earlier so i hurriedly went to meet out with Alrik and Ryhn at PS. We went to central to have our much missed ramen. Didn't taste as good as it used to but i still happily slurped up my bowl of goodness. We then headed for abit of shopping before spontaneously decided to catch the happy hours and go get a drink. Instead we ended up in a little restaurant and had rosti and ribs for dinner. Sat there and chatted, gossiped, made a din. Haha just like old times.

Tuesday and Wednesday i spent most of my waking hours at another sunny shore called Tekong, for the auditions to round up a batch 82. Most of the time i was just chatting around with the people and looking at the people having their auditions. Oh yea and we played freakin lots of STRESS! me james and wilson. We just kept playing this stupid card game until i went semi-crazy! When we went back to bunk the following night we were still crazily playing we screamed so much until james and i had a freakin sore throat. I don't know what actually happpend but i have been kinda of klutz in tekong. I always do, that island brings out the most bimbotic in me i swear. Last time in bmtc i'm always doing the most stupid of thing haha, tts why ann alwasy say i spoil market.... not in a good way =p.

Thusday in the day i spent most of the time in bed in bunk cause it was FREAKIN HOT outside and i didn't wanna do anything that would raise my temperature to a new high. One of the seniors suggested i should shower cause i water was refreshingly warm, suana like. I was like GREAT finally a day without cold water. Guess what, the water is FREAKIN BOILING. ok not to tt extent, half boiling. My skin was getting scalded i swear. Its as if i turned the water to maximum temperature and proceeded to continuously burn my skin red. I felt so hot and bothered after what was supposed to be a "refreshing" shower. uggh.

Thursday night went out to rebel with alrik and ryhn again. That was one of the reason i wanted to get alot of rest cause i knew iw as gonna burn out in the most tak glam way ever. Still we braved into rebel and danced out guts out. I didn't enjoy of of rebel but instead found alot of fun in the electro themed zirca. Haha everyone there is mroe high leh, there is mroe space on the dance floor and i could really swing it up! Ryhn was insane at zirca, he was all over the place. Still he wanted to go rebel more cause they had more mainstream music i guess. My legs were uber sore after we called it a night! Really felt like i just ran a very long distance.

Friday woke up still very tired but went down to alicia house to play mahjong with hc and zhouyang. Haven seen alicia and zhouyang for the longest time? Almost a year already. Still i had a great time playing mahjong with them even though i lost freakin lots of money, i had fun catching up with them. We then headed down to *yawns clarke quay again to meet the rest of out T29 fist 3 months peeps. We went to the river side near zouk and opened 3 bottles of booze. Omg reminds of the the first 3 months times when we stayed over at yimin's house and totally made a fool of ourselves. But this time was like 100x worse. I was so so drunk i couln't walk straight,i couldn't tink straight, i couldn't see straight, I was so drunk i particularly remeber running across a road and falling flat on my face. We then settled back in a circle and just chatted under the stars. Not much that i can actually remeber but i got a flush of the feeling of great times we had in the first 3 months class. The weekend outings, cycling, mid week gossip club haha! Omg tt were fun times and i really hope my first three month class would meet up soon again. Everything while zhouyang was puking his guts at the background. He seriously puked alot, he puked till morn and still continue puking. How the hell is someone able to puke tt much i dunno. I had to carry him abit to the the taxi while trying not to reach out to smell my fingers every 7 seconds. Still i had to discreetly do so several times i just felt very dirty... sorry!

Saturday i went back to cj to help out my juniors for theire tune in nxt week. Didn't really help much in terms of like music. Just toked alot of nonsense with joan, steven and the new jr. Joan say i very bitchy haha..... am i? No pls not. We're so gonna have one of our crazy section outings soon. Pig-outs and crazy boliao presents galore! Decided to skip french today though zhenjie trying ton convince me to go. Still i pon lessons wasted alots of money and went hom to bed cause i was too tired to do anything else. Feel really guilty about it so yep you all can go ahead and scold me and i will just stand at the corner with my head tilted low.

Sunday! Went out with a few of my section mates, the ones that chiong with me during the bad times and celebrated with me during the good times! During field camp when i was terribly depressed they were the ones that helped me through. Well so we met... caught up on our military life cause all of us ended up in different units. Seemed like everyone actually had it quite easy. Haha except edwin, infantry spec. While the rest slowly left, jon and i went to shop ard orchard. While broke me just causually looked at nice nice clothes. Jon as usual, having the same purchasing power as east timor's entire military budget. He decided after much time to buy a pair of jeans at bread and butter. Yes bread and butter where all the those expensive cult brands. Yes shopping with him is very depressing for broke people like me. As usual we just walked around and caught up with our lives, both as interesting.

So heres abit about my warm fuzzy week. I haven met with my pyjm biwei and sinchin cause we were too busy on seperate deployments. Nevermind better like tt we can more to tok about when we meet tmr. Yes band drills ughh!

What's Hot?

2009-09-20T05:21:00.003-07:00

Hello everybody, i know i haven't been blogging much this month cause obviously there isn't nothing much to blog about. Band has since settled down, NOT saying its not a good thing please stay this way thanks. My life has fallen into a manageable routine which i'm pretty fine by it. Of course yongdi being yongdi, many little things get me excited, i'm those kind of people who love cheap thrills even though others might think it's pretty lame ..... SO welcome to my WHAT'S HOT post!

HOT new bag!

I'm so so excited about this bag that i won from an ebay bid! yay!

Seeing as of now i can't even afford CARROT STICKS, i really spend a huge amount of my dough to get this so i hope regret buying it cause if i do, i can just go stab myself with the harmonie badge. It's beidge by the way, and seeing that i don't like to take good care of my stuff i'm afraid it will turn brown, i dunno and i can't bleach it right?I really bought this on impulse, cause i was looking trough another fred perry bag. The Tarpaulin Rucksack which can be found in singapore stores. So this should be WAY better right? please tell me it is, i feel so insecure now.

HOT holiday!

This was the brainchild of a fun adventure a few months ago. I missed the australia trip earlier this year due to some personal problems. So how can resist not going for another holiday?! So we're going to THAILAND BANGKOK! que* 'furonda thai dance from antm". Everything's ALMOST settled already so i'm really really damn excited. This times xiuhao's not going with us so it's gonna be alrik, ryhn me and maybe yimin. The only thing now is to confirm our overseas leave. So alrik please hurry! This time NO packages, we're flying solo, booking flights and hotels and the itenary ourselves. This will be totally awesome! Its gonna be a hell lota fun in the 4D3N!

HOT music

Guess what's constantly playing on my ipod these few weeks?

My friend always tell me that i enjoy tata young's music even though alot of other people thinks it's can't be comparable to the big shots like xtina, britney OR GWEN! still i think her music is getting better and better every album, the first album might be abit thrashy with sexy naughty bitchy. However this album has a totally different feel from the first one. It's less dance and abit more pop! I know i'm not making sense but only after you've listen to it you'll understand.

Haha you can't doubt the ability of this amazing woman. Her longevity in this music industry is already solid prove of her capability. So to launch her new album 'Celebration' this is her new song of the same name. I like it, very electronica loves! Her music is forever changing and i think thats keeping her on the top. And the fact that she's not afraid to flaunt her toyboy in her video is another brownie point to her! Theres another version this music video with her daughter in it so you guys can go check it out.

HOT online game

Haha i'm being totally lame here cause this few weeks there has been so many force clear offs that i can't plan programmes in time for the days in off. So i often stay at home growing moulds here and there. That day i went for work and my absm told me hurry go clear more offs. So i can't go for work on a optional clear off day unless i clear ALL my offs. Anyways the few of us were toking in the company office and we hit the topic of online games. So we started raving about all the online games that we played from neopets, gunbound all the way to .... MAPLESTORY! yes i know i'm freakin childish to be still interested in maplestory but thats my hot online game, yes yes NOT dota or left4dead shit. MAPLE! and i've already recruited johan, fhairil and john to join me in this insanity. We're gonna be the most awesome party! Too bad sinchin kept insisting on playing his 3d rpg games =s. Still i'm having difficulty in setting up my game and its driving me off the edge!

HOT new chinese martial art story!

神雕侠侣之龙妖新传

Self explainatory need i say more?

Ok tts all i have for now, my brain's starting to dysfunctions again! bye bye!

Ready For Love

2009-09-14T20:58:00.000-07:00

Bonjour! I had like a super super busy week, loads to catching up with friends old and new. So busy week = loads of money spent also , and its only like the first week of my salary what could be more worse than a broke month D= Haha still I had loads of fun so the money spent is not a great regret.

Wednesday I hurriedly rushed down to town to meet cj band peeps michelle, lilian, max, joey and shermann. too bad the rest couldn't come cause of NS/UNI cause we toked aot of cock and other stuff. Actually we're suppose to catch a movie, but my i came late cause of my deployment so we just sat at Cartel and toked the evening away.

Thursday afternoon went out with eupho section, mel, steven and andrea. The juniors juniors couldn't make it such a pity. We went to this dim sum restaurant at Excelsior and euphos being euphos just ate and ate and ATE. Seriously i tot we ate alot but the others reckon that our ability has dimmed quite abit . The food was unexpectedly delicious even though it was quite a cheap buffet. I actually had enough but Andrea tot she wasn't full yet so we went to order more. Everyone seriously ate too much. Then mentioned dessert melissa went " Oh dessert?! Well theres always room for dessert!!" Haha melissa will always be ..... a hungry bear.

Thursday night went to marina with pri sch peeps sujing and polly. Went to catch french movie Coco before Chanel. haha movie wasn't fantastic but i tink it was a true story of the famed fashion designer so i guess you can't expect loads of drama. I like this particular piece of music in the movie which sounded like a waltz of some sort. Before the movie we just sat at some random cafe without ordering anything and toked about where was everyone and other stuff. EM1 classes being the smarts, of course most of them ended up in like the top courses in uni.... haha omg so depressing.

Friday, the whole day was for mahjong. Had darren, alrik and aron come over to my place and we just played mahjong the whole day. Aron being in france for 5 months still can win money at mahjong, lucky shitz. But thanks of the tee shirt that he bought for me even though i would never wear it out even if you pointed a gun in my face. I ended up winning $2 only haha oh wells better than losing. We were watching some shows on mio while playing mj and came across the new fatty dating show. Darren just couldn't keep his mouth shut after that exclaiming how fat all of the contestants were and on and on...... HAHA hey all of us had our fat past ok!

Friday evening had to rush to alliance francaise with alrik for our first lesson. Was 15 mins late cause we couldn't complete our mahjong in time. Both of us had to skip the first lesson cause i had ACPC and alrik had AOH. We went in total clueless and our teacher started speaking to us in french and we were like huh huh? I just mumbled trhough my question when our teacher started to ask us " C'est tu prenom" But alrik was totally clueless and stumbled there for a good 10 mins while the teacher was trying his best to explain to us. omg haha.

Saturday xiuhao aron and alrik came for mahjong again! xiuhao and aron together = childish brawling . funny and times and totally LAME at others. Oh wells their brawling brought me good luck cause i won $14 with quite a no. of 4 and 5 tais haha! returned xiuhao the $7 i owed him so i won net $7 yay!

Saturday evening went to send delphne off at changi airport with jiffsen, henry and yaofeng. Catch up with my senior abit cause i haven seen him for the longest time. But had to rush somewhere else so the meeting was breif. Delphne arh, i'm so jealous, she got an moe scholarship to study in london. Carl and Riki also came and bought her chocolates, in the end i ate most of it haha! Then i went to candy empire and bought MORE chocolate! I forgot how to spell the brand but it has crispy semi-solidified yogurt in it yum! Told jiffsen where i was gg at night and he like NONONO~! haha totally expected!

Saturday night went out at night with ryhn yimin, johan and his friends. Ryhn leaving soon to CHINA and yimin is gg there on a holiday as well, how coincidental. So we just had fun that night getting abit drunk.... but still sane. Actually i was suppose to meet at henry's house with the others for a movie marathon, but i was simply to tired.

Sunday just bumbed around at home, went to temple with my extended family in the morning and it was like freakin crowded with many many people. And most of the kids hold the baibai thingys too low and i was so afraid of getting burned by it. So i was like turning and turing while i walk trying to make sure none of the stupid kids come near me. And how izit possible to stick the baibai thing into the bowl without getting burned.... Went home and just slept the day away.

Monday went for parade and got an awful suprise that we could go home early whilst having off he next day yay! Actually we planned to go to sumo house at amk to have cheap jap food. But i was so HUNGRY that i actually suggested to go sakae buffet instead! ahh! So the not-so-skinny BAND B ppl, john fhairil sinchin johan and I trotted down to amk only get cheated into believeing there was sake there. We then detoured to bishan for the buffet. Ate like freakin 61 plates can. I was totally bursting alrdy!! Played stupid games as well to force down whats left of the food and we totally made sinchin eat a sushi with meat haha! not trying to be mean ok! johan fhairil and i then went to ps to meet bj cause we have to at least walk off some of the food. Fhairil headed to the arcade to dance those calories while i just slumped around playing some of the games. We totally wasted $3 doing some silly thing before headed to macs for BJ to have dinner. And fhairil and johan had vanilla milkshake!?! OMG.

Ok hears my busy weekend condensed. I like tried to fast today cause i felt so guilty for eating 2 buffets in a week! And my wisdom tooth is causing much pain to my mouth so i don feel like eating. So tired not to eat but my maid kept asking me if i wanted to eat so i ate a bowl of noodles lor tts all!

Skinny Band B

2009-09-10T07:38:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Skinny Band B! We shall all chorus in harmony whenever a clueless newbie arrives. In fact most of what 'skinny band b' is not at all skinny. Its mostly about a lifestyle that the Batch 80 of Band B decided to adopt! Even though we are throughly different, we i guess all of us HAVE to hang out so too bad for us. Why, almost all of us are classified in different personality groups in band.... SEE?

Biwei - Band Bitch DUH!
Fhairil - The Professional
Johan - Band Bimbo
ShinChin - The Band Member (But all that vegetable eating has made his brain vege state i.e Half Band Bimbo)
John - The Professional
Me - The Talented (haha kidding you all classify me yourself!)

See all of us are so so different so how to adopt the SKINNY BAND B lifestlye .... heres simple 8 steps!

#1 - THOU SHALT CONVERT TO EITHER BITCHISM OR BIMBOTISM
The two most important religions in skinny band B, not entirely different, but not entirely the same as well. Bitchism is the ability of using the most sarcastic words in your arsenal to drown someone's argument out. While Bimbotism is the ability to feign ignorance in whatever situation to your advantage. Both hard to master but its a must in the SKINNY BAND B lifestyle. There is a hybrid of two religions, but that is the most powerful of all which obviously none of us has picked up, still almost everyone found their pick in the two so we're on our way!

#2 - THOU SHALT GET OUT OF TROUBLE IN THE MOST FAST AND EFFICIENT WAY
Seeing as our previous vow to stay out of trouble once we go into a new band didn't work. We found ourselves a new 'friend' within the first week, ok maybe not we, a few of us =p. So the second best thing is to siam any sticky situation as fast as possible. Several ways of doing this, the bimbos will just act blur in situations and pretend nothing happen. The bitches will go the other way and tell everyone THEIR version of what happened before the other person even starts to tell anyone. Either way you play, just hurry get over and done with it.

#3 - THOU SHALT HAVE A FLAW THAT OTHERS CAN POKE FUN AT.
Fhairil has questionable english and has a big butt. Johan is Chindian just gettting fatter by the hours. Shinchin is blur as Patrick Star (and sounds quite like him also). Biwei is a bitch and plain eeeeeeeeeee. John is dark malayish with abit of odour. I'm just a stupid bimbo. So whats ur flaw that we can pick on?

#4 - THOU SHALT BE THE NICEST OF JUNIORS THAT ANY SENIOR WOULD WANT.
We greet out seniors, treat them with the utmost respect.Say our P's and Q's. Greet the aunties who help us clean the white house and occsionally on some uncles. Ahere to the JOHAN'S LAW OF JOKE LAUGHING*. Practice well for our parades so that we won't screw up. And most importantly listen to our seniors cause thats the most important. Ask for favours from the seniors nicely and learn their chinese names unless you wants two days of your OFF cancelled. Where else on this earth you can find better juniors?

#5 - THOU SHALT KEEP AWAY FROM SHOPPING CENTRE AT SERANGOON
The place is not a place where we can go, either izit a place we would wanna end up. A place where its so unpredictable that something you accidently do or say might become your bane. A place so scary that you might find yourself over paraniod about someone watching you across a dark corner. But this place is not always open, its unpredictablilty also refers to its opening hours. So obviously we're not toking about MUSTAFA duh! Cause Mustafa is opened 24 hours duh!

#6 - THOU SHALT BE SKINNY .... LIKE DUH
Then why else izit called SKINNY BAND B? cause all of us want to be skinny! Like our goddess of bimbotism practices, One of the most imporant things of life is to be skinny. And the best way to be skinny is to regurgitate your meals. So everyone of us always has a toothbrush or a spoon in our pockets. We also exercise/ fast REGULARLY OK! John can run 9 rounds around the track ok! And fhairil and johan PROBABLY lost weight from all those fasting. While shinchin and biwei are practically 2 dimensional while i have my own body to die for hehe! AIM: Have a lower average weight than band A batch 80.

#7 - THOU SHALT KAJIAO OTHER BAND PEOPLE UNTIL LATE AT NIGHT
We all don't like to sleep much, we won't talk in our own bedrooms and disturb our seniors from sleeping cause we're nice juniors. So we will go to OTHER bunks to talk. Biwei practically lives in the CB bunk. While shinchin johan fhairl and I like to visit BAND A frequently to tok and play citedels. Who cares if they wanna sleep? We wanna tok about ghost stories and scare ourselves silly until we don't dare to go back to our own bunks.SRY ENGLOONG! Only to return our bunks around 1230 or 1 to finally sleep. Not before bumping or knocking into one of the 1235 items we have lying around in our bunk.

#8 - THOU SHALT NOT LEAVE ANYONE OUT
If we wanna rant, find at least 3 or 4 people to rant with. If we wanna bitch, make sure everyone noes what is happening even if we have to spend 3 days 3 nights explaining to shinchin. If we get into trouble we pull everyone along. If we wanna eat or excercise, force everyone to go. Grow skinny or fat, we grow together. Little quarrels doesn't faze us, besides we're so differently classified a little friction is nothing. Wanna do silly things like play tiu tiu games, make sure everyone plays. Skinny Band B is about a cohersive lifestlye with other skinny band b people. Thats whats important, and also to interact with the seniors, thats more important! Unless you wanna two day of OFF cancelled as i already said.

Thats all i have to say, just decided to write this post out of boredness haha! Hope no one gets offended cause its all for fun only. Chaos!

* Johan's Law of Joke Laughing (JLJL)
JLJL states that the extensiveness of laughing at someone's joke, is compounded proportional to the rank of the person itself. i.e PTE joke - 2sec, LCP joke - 2+3 sec, CPL joke - 2+3+4sec.

PS. Theres no such thing as 'Compounded Proportional'. So if any maths freak would explain to me thanks!

Drag me to ETI Bunk

2009-08-28T05:02:00.000-07:00

Herro! After my diarrhea of blog post, why suddenly i stopped blogging for an entire week? Well cause the stay in period has finally arrived! Well how anymore sudden can it arrive, came from the back without us noticing and smacked us in out butt.... shocking and rather uncomforatble.

Monday as all of us came to band and not soon after seperated to our bands, haha i was feeling quite sad but also damn curious about the new band we're posted to. Came and the PA talked to us for what seemed like 2 hours, but the main gis of it is when he said " OH AND YOU ALL HAVE TO START STAYING IN TODAY..."

He said it as if he was telling us to go buy oranges. At first was disbelief, after that was still disbelief. Then it was "WHAT?" Luckily due to some difficulties we didn't have to stay in the first night.

The next day we went to the bunk to put in our stuff for stay in. Haha it was walking into a some ripley's museum. Every step was an EEEEE or a GROSS. Some of them attemped to the sweep some of the millions of dust balls sitting happily at every inch of the floor. Biwei tried to sweep underneath his bed, but it was like however he tried there were still dust balls. and i am accutely aware that the person sleeping beside me likes to eat bodily discharges. Shall not go into detail but for the record.... EEEEEYEEEEERRRRRR.

Tues when all of us came back from wherever, first night we slept at the bunk, ok la my bed sheet was super soft so it was nice to sleep on, but the springs were all over the place so i had to keep shifting away from it. I woke up in the late of the night to find a huge burly figure taking of his clothes in front of me to expose his rounded belly. I quickly turned the other way.

Ooo showering is another problem. Cause john and sinchin always goes home to shower, so its left with biwei and I to brave the smelly toilet together. I'm ok with the light urine scent that the toilet always has, i mean most singapore toilets have that scent. But the water coming out of the showerhead is simply powerless! I feel like i'm in some third world country with a trickle of water for shower. It so not SHUANG! So the next day, we tried the other toilet. Haha looks promising, smells better, the water is much better. I quickly ran for one of the showers where the showerhead is still intact. But biwei being a stupid boy decided to switch the shower with me cause he said the other shower with a showerhead is to dark for him. The toilet was full of lights. So i was ok cause i very shui bian.

WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN! i was showering half way, and this clump of something which i thought was hair fell on my back. I was like ok, maybe the shower was coughing out hair balls to contribute to the many hairballs scattered across the floor. So i just casually grab the clump and threw it on the floor cause my eyes were shut. After that i opened my eyes and to my horror, A COCKROACH WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR HAPPILY WATCHING ME SHOWER. A BUG FELL ON MY BACK AND I JUST GRABBED IT WITH MY HAND. So i just went EEE and AHHH for a few hours trying to kick that vile thing out of the shower while biwei was EEing and AHHing telling me not to kick it into his shower. I kicked it again then the stupid thing fell on it back and couldn't move. I was quite panicky alrdy and i didn't wanna touch it with my hands AGAIN, so i kicked it again and it finally left me. It was one of the most horrible experiences from NS right after the giant grasshopper landed on my face from field camp. I posted it up on facebook and within a day recieved 3 LIKES, evil bitches...

The rest of the times in bunk, we just chatted about our recent deployments and how we screwed up.Teasing sinchin for being so blur. Went round our camp running errands, had our wanton noodles for breakfast in the canteen. and also had a singular jogging session on the tracks.

On wed i went out to AMK hub with biwei for dinner. Sinchin being a total TV junkie (He can go home to his place at punggol just to watch that 7 clock tv show) and john's house being so near, left us two ppl living in the far west to get dinner ourselves. Though we weren't very close in the training wing, still able to hol a hearty 3 hours conversation with him talking about everything under the sun.

So i'm finally back at home with nice pillows and a sturdy bed. So sad that i'll have to go back to that horrid ETI bunk on sunday so i tink i'll laze around at home more this weekend. Besides i'm kinda broke so what else can i do.

PS. OMG NO DOUBT IS COMING TO SINGAPORE AHHH! Alrik called me this morning and i was screaming across the white house until john taught I got into trouble again. but it so not worth it to pay $150 to see ND share the stage with 3 other groups so i still dunno whether i should go. Besides i don't wanna spend so much money the next few months you know.

Goodbye & Hello

2009-08-23T05:22:00.000-07:00

Why do all good things come to an end? Its the end of the training wing period and all off us are evenly split up into the 4 bands. GOODBYE TRAINING WING!

Actually theres alot going through my mind this weekend. BAND B which i'm posted to is supposedly the more strict band. How are we gonna go through this? Will we, band b batch 80 stick it out together like we promised to? Will the rest of our batch people keep in contact with us? How will the senior treat us?

All these questions run through my mind at a regular pace. Each painting a very discomforting scenario into my mind. Hopefully, with BIWEI, FHAIRIL, JOHAN, SINCHIN and JOHN. We will really help each other out and in the process, proceed to become good friends. Cause its really the few of us that can help each other out alrdy.

Its really odd cause its usually the last few week when we decide to hang out more often, you know like spend more time with each other cause we know that we're gonna get split up soon. So why didn't we start even earlier HAHA.

Gonna miss HONGSHENG with all the help hes given me in terms on my eupho skills and stuff.

Gonna miss BENNY's eye-rolling, i tink at the rate hes going he'll be PAH JIAO by 23.

Gonna miss STEVEN being agitated all the time, cracks me up.

Gonna miss JARED being such a vulgar ass.

Gonna miss the look on QINJIE's face when he does pull-ups.

Gonna miss HAZIZI being such the ultimate lame person.

Gonna miss ANTHONY for cracking up all the time.

Gonna miss BJ for the all the songs we liked together, PAPARAZZI!

Gonna miss NICHOLAS for being so helpful all the time (gawd i feel so terrible for letting him do saigang even though he was sick last friday).

Gonna miss JOE for his jokes and beautiful music.

Gonna miss FADLY for being so easily entertained all the time.

Gonna miss ENG LONG for being such a lame-ass joker all the time and being BHB.

Gonna miss BEN LIM for his optimism in everything.

Gonna miss COLMAN for being cool-headed in everything.

Gonna miss EUGENE for his off-beat jokes hehe.

Gonna miss ZHICHAO for his exponential increase in bitchiness.

Gonna miss BEN WONG for his always-there bitchiness.

Went out with BJ, JARED, JOHAN, YEL, BENLIM, QJ, STEVEN, NIC WONG on thurs for dinner and pool and CS. though besides dinner i seldom go play pool and CS, i still enojoyed the day thoroughly. I guess its cause of the company. Who said batch 80 wasn't united one?

Went out again on fri again with STEVEN, QK, NICWONG, BENLIM, JOHAN, FHAIRIL, YEL. chatted through the hours while people slowly began to leave. If we could hold a conversation for 4 hours, who said batch 80 wasn't united one

So i hope my apprehensive-ness of us not talking to each other once we're posted would be an unnesscary one. Well heard of other batches that has this kind of sad ending, so it might end up being the same trend with us... Hopefully stay in would be a fun period for us.

We'll.... BIWEI, lets hope we'll end up being good friends, bitch or bimbo. Don't have to worry too much about playing wise cause passing the BMC is already saying tt we have a certain standard already.

JOHAN, lets try not to get into ANY TROUBLE alrite? watch each other's back and we'll be fine

FHARIL, you have to help us all already! you're the most experienced and the most PR so pls help us stay out of trouble, abang

SINCHIN, hope you can open up more so we'll have more stuff to talk about yea. Hopefully we're gonna be good friends

JOHN, you're also another one with good PR with the seniors and superiors, help me out, i'm one tactless person =p

BAND B BATCH 80 is gonna be the skinniest arh!. Our Vision: SKINNY BAND B gwahahaha!

Why do all good things come to an end? Cause there are better things on the way... HELLO BAND B!

An Afternoon in the Past

2009-08-20T18:15:00.000-07:00

The GREAT reshuffle of 5 Bands in SAF BANDS has finally happened. Some were happy other were devastated. Not blogging about this though today. Blogger has been a bitch not letting me put photos up so since today, they finally decided to play nice. I shall take a trip with you down memory lane, and also with Nina the cow.

That time i didn't know why my camera kept taking black and white photos. but what the heck, its suits the theme so it good! even better ..... perfect complexion =)

Without a doubt i live in a very very small community. Ulu Pandan is seriously freakin ULU! it really really quiet at night.

Henry Park Primary School!

Henry Park is my primary school and many memories fall back on there. Natalie's mum owns a butcher store there and she treats us to the yummiest sausages. We use to run around the Henry Park estate pass the shops of cakes, but couldn't afford it...

Nina the Cow. Oooo my favourite MAMA SHOP during my primary school days, we would come here to get sweets and savours!

Side note: I think i gained abit of chubby-ness =s

BUS 92, It's off to ghim moh!

Ghim Moh is another cute little town which i used to frequent when i was little. The estate still gives me a small town warm feeling which i can't find in places like Toa Payoh and AMK anymore due to the commercialised malls and stuff. You can still find the smell those waffles from the small bakery down the row of shops.

One of the BEST Char Kway Tiao yet. The queue is always so long, still i finally got my serving of yum-ness for lunch!

My mum frequents this fruit stall!

We stopped by an Italian cafe for some dessert after our lunch...

Look at all the yummy desserts!

Got a tiramisu.

When me and nina take photos.....

... we're always trying to act skinny.

BUS 92! off back to Henry Park

Went back to the mama shop and got ourselves an ice lolly!

HIP HOP JELLY~

Are you Jealous? The great HENRY PARK logo.

The new fugly uniform of hpps

Nina's trying to stalk a little girl

Haha! too bad kena caught!

Now its OFF ot Jelita!

Jelita would probably be the ONLY mall around my area if I don't consider holland village. Its also damn small, maybe the most 10 stores? I only remember going to pizza hut with my cca people and eating alot! And also the supermarket there which i like cause it's usually quite empty.

Jelita cold storage - the home of expats, angmohs and hunting ground of the es-per-ges sistels!

The supermarket's customers are usually Caucasian from the bungalows nearby, and zoe tay!

Nina being a glutton.

Woo-hoo! i can fit in a kidde ride!

Then its off the last stop - Pandan Valley!

I lovvee pandan valley, i use to have tuition at one of the schools there and after that , me and my classmate would walk around the condo passing little shops of grocery, desserts and other stuff.

Laurel's one of the grocery stores we classmates used to get ice-cream from!

Nina being stuck on a see-saw HAHAH!

Out of pandan valley, we were tired and sweaty alrdy so we decided to go home!

AND Nina finally got to stalk a little boy! and we can finally.....

go back home..... welcome of PINE GROVE!

I'm a small town boy!

PS. Yesterday when me and benjamin were heading home together, he told me something that happened to our common friend, something really terrible. But of course i shan't say what isit. Still i really hope that that friend is doing well now. It's just so really terrible that things like that could happened.Made me a little down yesterday night. sighs...

Follow the White Leopard

2009-08-18T05:02:00.000-07:00

Hey there Summer Peeps! This weekend solely belonged to meeting up with SOME of the platoon mates from leopard..... well ALMOST!

Friday received a msg from Johnathan. Omg he got to become a combat medic specialist. YAY! so happy for him cause its means.... He's coming to Nee Soon to join me! somemore i hav to stay in next month so we'll have more chances to go out for dinners together yay! omg missed times with him in leopard when we just whine and whine and WHINE! all about everthing and anything haha!

Saturday went out with Edwin, Samson and Shiliang. Jeff suppose to come one but that guy decided to PS us. Stupid boy. Went to ps and they let me chose the place to eat. Was craving for my rainbow roll at sushi tei but it was like super far! So i made them go ichiban instead.

Then THEN! Let the bitching begin....! bitch bitch and bitch somemore. I dunno why everything seemed so interesting me, but it was really really juicy news. Got bored of bitching and went to watch G.I. Joe. omg had to take the first row and my neck couldn't stay straight after that.

Anyways... Wad the hell does G.I Joe mean???

Sunday went to choing uniqlo with yilin alrdy!! The opening sales ends on 20/8 so its NOW or NEVER!! haha actually i was planning to get a pair of shorts and 2 tees. Omg but the pants i wanted was GONE!! I really needed a pair of white short. Somemore the blue pin-stripes are EXACTLY like zara's one. And it was on SALE! Yilin came to ION before and totally missed that shop =.=" So i bought a white tee shirt. and then..... OMG i saw this hoodie tt was never there before. It looked really pretty and its on SALE! and my SIZE! and and IT WAS THE LAST PIECE!! hurriedly grabbed it and put it in my basket! Still contemplating about the green springfield jacket which was much more ex ( $39.90 vs $89) i smsed my lifeline Ryhn and Alrik

YD: Urgent! Shld i get a blue check hoodie which is on sale, or stick to the springfield hoodie?

Ryhn: Get the spring one!

YD: but its on sale and its my size and its the last piece!

Ryhn: DON'T CARE! SPRING!

YD: don't care alrdy i choing uni alrdy!!

( 2 hours later)

Alrik : I tink you should get the uni one.... (sia you tink i'll wait 2 hours in the shop for you arh!)

So i decided to get it! :)))

Yilin was also chionging for clothes in the ladies section, we both combined out sum which made it to $100+ so we were entitled a recycle bag :)

After that we went to visit Nina at her work place with leonard, br and hf at the flyer. Omg that place gives me nightmares cause it so near to the ndp holding area! Stayed there and kept disturbing Nina so she couldn't work properly! Actually we wanted to get her a present form uniqlo but we didn't know her size. ( You know she's been on a cow-ish side recently)

After that went off to Novena to meet another batch of leopard people. Sispec bitching ONCE AGAIN! this time not that interesting but still juicy! Chris starting to tok about his complicated life which was kinda boring. Still the dinner was nice and everyone started leaving too soon.

Busy hectic weekend once again. I blew $100 this weekend so i'm down to $150 now. SAD RIGHT? omg i think i'm soon gonna live on bai bai food and tap water alrdy. No more shopping for clothes this month )):

Omg today i was feeling abit ditsy for some reason or another. I screwed up my scales for the prac exam even though i practised really REALLY hard!! Sedia wrongly which led me to sound a LOUD and HIGH-PITCHED exclaimation. and AND forgot to return my IPee room key. arrghh.

We're Beautiful and Dirty Rich!

2009-08-13T05:46:00.001-07:00

Hello all my sistels! Haha poking fun at babarella again after i got reminded of the wonderful times called the noose.

Just an update on whatever stuff happened over the long weekends and thus!

After my week long MC what way to celebrate my emancipation with a game of MAHJONG! haha went to kk house to play mahjong thinking 8/8 would be a good day to make money! Too bad i was sadly mistaken and lost $7. Aiya not that bad la. Went through all the ndp songs and also the Aunty Vs Xiang Ji video which made me laugh like mad!

Went to alumni practice after that for the first time this year finally! Played alot of very hard song and somemore eupho section kena sook ching by fredy, wahlao stressed me out.

After that went out with some of the TEE 17 ppl for dinner get together thingy. OMG MOF food comes super super late can, we started at the diner at 7pm and my food only came at wad? 9PM /=P! after that was still so hungry went to macs for filet-o-fish, single only! yay so happy everyone said i slimmed down, much to the extent that wei-lyn didn't regconise me.... HEHE YAY!

Sunday FULL DAY OF NDP! the real deal of course! aiya same thing as usual but this time we did ALOT OF THINGS OK! my goodness the goodie bags had to be lugged across the F1 holding area to get it scanned for forbidden items. HEAVY CAN! Still we got to watch abit of the event which made me quite excited cause the place that we saw it, the celeb emcees kept passing us and i still get cheap thrills, or izit star struck when i see a celeb. ESP NINA GOODWOOD WAS THERE HAHA!

Monday went out with ryhn alrik and dick to watch movie, FOOD INC! Documentry for the intellectual =p. Quite gross actually the whole show, made me think twice about eating macs next time. My goodness, word of advice: NEVER GO OUT ON A PUBLIC HOLIDAY! you know how many people i bumped into from ION to VIVO. guang, jindao, songyuan, kelvin, sujing and shuhui, and a few of those random people you know by face so you're obligated to smile back at them... or you can try to walk away and pretend that you didn't see them.

Do believe in fate, cause we couldn't decide for dinner so we like made fate decide the place for us, two times it said marche but we decided on thai express instead. Then my camera dropped and now its spoilt! the stupid lens is like permanently erected.... can't go flaccid.. haha boo!

WEDNESDAY SUPER BUSY DAY! We had drill test in he morning which i kinda was scared for cause I CANNOT MULTI-TASK FOR NUTS! asking me to march, play, listen and ten hundred other things is DIFFICULT, so i just didn't play that well. Encik kept smiling at me for some reason so i smiled back. Jared told me is cause i reported in a very funny tone.... AS USUAL! urgh. Aural in the afternn! UNEVENTFUL... but i just lost 5 marks thanks to some level 11 bitch. heh.

After that had to rush rush down to fort canning for LADY GAGA CONCERT with alrik ryhn and yimin. Omg its the BOMB can! effing awesome. But we had to wait super long like she was one half hour late. Few people fainted from the wait cause everyone was crammed and there was not enough air to go around. Ryhn alrik and yimin went first and got us a pretty good spot which made me really excited. But the wait was really damn tiring. Still LADY GAGA WAS AWESOME. made all of us so so high! I really really enjoyed this concert ALOT!

WOO TODAY IS ONE WEEK FROM GRADUATION. Actually i'm quite excited cause i didn't really have a neat time in the training wing. Still should be quite sad, sighs moving to a new place again. I just hope that i end up in a band with alot ALOT of people from my batch, that'll be fun! Still one week is a long time, between the test and preparation, i think i should just enjoy the company, or whats left of it...

END OF POST! I'M SUPPOSE TO STUDY MY THEORY NOW. cya

Love, Sex & Magic

2009-08-07T03:49:00.000-07:00

Hello~ *cough sneeze wheeze!. Today is finally the LAAAASSST day of my long long 7 days MC. I have been a relatively good boy can! I only went out this week twice, or thrice? Can't remember... cause the first few days of my MC i was actually very very sick, to the point that i can't remember some of the things i did. It was freakin 39.7C can!

The first few days i was at home trying to nurse my illness. Hate being ill! i was trying to sleep and i felt really really cold that it made my joints ache. But when i cover myself with my quilt then i break out in sweat, dunno its normal or cold sweat but it made me sticky and uber uncomfortable. All the sleeping made me very groggy and the medicine made me really drowsy so i didn't really know if i was sleeping, dreaming or awake most of the time.

Wedneday i went OUT! to meet ryhn at Liang Court cause he was studying there and i was so bored at home i swear i was starting to turn stale and grow mouldy! Walking around was very tiring, i couldn't understand why it made me pant and sweat so much just to head down to the MRT station.

I met ryhn at startbucks and he started laughing at me. He said i just walked around and started to look around in those kind of dazed out look. Like i was sure i was talking to him but he said i just looked sorta ditsy and mumbling to myself,.... like luna lovegood!

I wanted to have pasta but liang court being liang court (though liang court totally sounds CHEENA! court somemore, makes me think of COURT you know) was FULL of japanese food. We passed by some place which looked like a mattress store in the distant. And i was "BAH this place has no pasta" But when we looked closer the mattress store is actually italian restaurant. woots.

though in the end i ate a burger steak instead.

Ryhn dunno what he trying to do.

Sick and siaow person

Walked around the uber empty liang court somemore and found quirky stuff such as the " Essential" Brand japanese shampoo! AND the hair removal sponge we saw on xiaxue's show! OMG!

After what seemed like 4 hours i decided to head home already. Gawd i felt so tired then, feel like an old man =s.

The following days i watched loads of movies, TV, attempted to run but almost fainted, and finished S Factor haha!

and my appetite is like NOTHING! omg i lost quite abit of weight cause of that and i hope my appetite doesn't come back just yet!

Guess i needed the break from all the NS. though being in band is like reallly slack and fun already, i tink i deserved the well needed rest yea! ok bye for now another post up real soon!

PS i have no idea how to work this blogger anymore! sometimes the panel with all the icons come out, but most of the time it doesn't. WHY?!

Descriptions & Depictions.

2009-08-03T05:31:00.000-07:00

Hello Everybody! Heard alot of people have read my previous blog post cause they have been raving about it, no matter good or bad. Still, thanks anyways, as i said many many post ago, if you find my blog boring, you can just leave =)Actually i'm suppose to update my blog on the stuff and events that i went to. BUT! i'm still a little sick from the fever before so my mind still can't function properly to recall whatever. So i shall do a so called topical post again yay!

Since i haven't done a band post THIS long, let's do one now! So far, i've been in a grand total THREE bands, if you considered MSSB and MSSBA to be the same band, i personally believe MSSBA is a continuation MSSB as in, if one wishes to continue as a MARIST BANDIT, well, thats the way to go!

So being so long in this BUISNESS, i shall assume that i'm experienced enough to judge people from band, classify them, and label them into different categories! But before i do that, lets list the examples, or subjects first!

FROM MARIS STELLA SYMPHONIC BAND!: Darren, Dick, XiuHao, Yuhuai, ZhaoDuan, Aron, Jason, Sean, Douglas.

FROM CATHOLIC JC SYMPHONIC BAND!: Shermann, Melissa, HongChow, Jiffsen, Andrea, Michelle, Steven, Cheng, Karyn, Inez, Max, Siyuan, Gab, Chuern, Jerina.

FROM SAF BANDS!: BJ, Biwei, Benjamin, Johan, Zhichao, Anthony, Hazizi, Joe, HongSheng, Fhairi, Nicolas, John, Jared.

Just picked out a few names from here and there FOR VARIETY ok so here we go!

1)THE BAND SOCIALITE
Are those who couldn't care less about the "band" aspect of band, but more of the, social side. Maybe in a tune in, you'd see them busy making new friends, basically just having a great time. OR as melissa would like to call them, social butterflies. End of band, none of them would hang around and practice extra, i tink they would pretty much prefer to go hang out in town or something. They probably would be one of the friendliest people among the classifications and making friends with them probably won't be that much of the problem. To sum things up, band socialites just wanna have fun and socialise thats all. Worse place for a band socialite? Prolly an iPee room, alone...

Case Study: Aron, Douglas, Andrea, Steven, BJ, Jared.

2)THE HARDWORKER
These people are those who practice FREAKING HARD, as in FREAKIN FREAKIN HARD! Most of them would eventually get their parts correct, or whatever they are practicing but you can tell that they the first to come for band, whip out their instrument, play play play, and the last toe leave the band room after practice. AND SOME MORE BRING HOME INSTRUMENT. ugg! Well, i can't say i don't any respect for them, i mean how can anyone practice so much, don't their lips hurt, unless they are trying to plump it up i guess... Still most of them end up being one of the best players in the band and after that.... they practice more.

Case Study: Sean, Gab, Max, Anthony.

3)THE PROFESSIONAL
Usually coming from secondary school where they hold high HIGH positions like band major, or drum major, or whatever nonsenses title they can get, they will go on to join some public band. Continue practicing music, maybe get grade in whatever instrument they play. Perhaps compose a song or two? For whatever it is, they sure know how to make things look easy, gosh just look at nicholas march, goodness seems like he started to march before he could say " Drum Major". Others just excel in their instruments so well, they should just continue to study music. In a nutshell, all of them are naturals.

Case Study: Hazizi, John, Joe, Nicolas, Yuhuai

4)THE BAND BITCH
Ahh, everyone should know this one, why cause band is such a bitchy place to be in, i guess it would be one of the most bitchy, backstabbing, double faced cca ever on the face of this earth, if not more. Band bitches are those who basically, find a fair amount of pleasure in gossiping about the happenings around band, they like to hang out with OTHER band bitches exchange info of OTHER happenings. Practicing sarcasm is another essential tool in a band bitch, if not how would you ever want to win a bitch brawl? Having enough band bitches at your side is another sure win way to a bitch brawl. In fact, band bitches lurve to bitch brawl. AND band bitches love sabotages, ie look at dicks errhem AMF remember?

Case Study: Dick, Jiffsen, Biwei, Benjamin

5) THE BAND GEEK
This is the classic band case, the band geek, confirm every band is bound to have one, or A DOZEN of them, they also like to practice alot and they know alot, i mean alot alot about the band scene which conductor conducting which sch etc etc. They know alot about music too which is why they get even more excited when they see music. Sometimes i find them rather creepy, but most of the time, i find them to be quite useful as they know enough stuff about music to help me in my pieces. Most band geeks are really nice people as well, maybe cause being interested in music also made them slightly more cultured?

Case Study: Zhaoduan, HongChow, Shermann, HongSheng, Fhairil, John.

6) THE BAND BIMBO
The band bimbo, as the name explains it, is one who is quite simple minded actually. Not that their IQ is low or whatever, they just hav this really straight forward perspective to everything. Which i tink is quite useful. They are eager learners i must say, thats why most of them would excel in their instrument as they except any advice given to them and work on it. Fun people to be with and also very nice to get along, just that sometime its would talk a while for them to register whatever you said. Band bimbos hav little or no temper but don't bet on it, cause if you push the wrong buttons, they might transform in a Band Bitch.

Case Study: Darren ,Melissa, Inez, Cheng, Karyn, Siyuan, Johan.

7) THE BAND MEMBER
The band member, this cat is one that is hard to explain, see a band member is a person that is not one with the outstanding personality in band. A band member usually practices hard, listens to the conductor and does everything perfectly. However, they won't be the kind who would say, go grab a duet from the library and practice. They also have a strong feeling towards the band but they won't be the kind who would shout it out. I tink what i'm trying to say is that the band member as all band member are, feel an obligation to the band and will work hard for it, but all in all, they still feel that its only a cca. Not really sure if i phrased it correctly.

Case Study: Michelle, Xiu Hao, Chuern, Jerina, Zhichao.

Of course there also other types of band people but basically thats how i would classify them cause of them act this way, so where would i put myself? Haha thats for me to know, i'm sure you'll have your own opinion. Of course there are also permutations and combinations within these classifications, but lets not sweat the details yea?

Ok i guess this the end, sorry if i offended anyone, i can only say i'm still sick and not thinking straight so you cannot blame me for that haha!

I have this 7 days mc which i dunno how to burn it,( by which of course not literally burning it!). I tink i shall just sleep away, or mayeb walk around the neighbour hood which i haven't for a long time, do a photolog. then you all will know how little ulu pandan looks like!

Oh and sry biwei but i shan't put up the CHASING SQUIRRELS POST, but it'll always be in my drafts!

i don't wanna grow fat again.

2009-07-15T06:13:00.000-07:00

STILL! remember my former glory days of being a RELATIVELY fat person. omg omg omg actually it was quite a fat person.... fats like BMI ALMOST gonna be over 25 alrdy. which is kinda terrible cause my body tends to look fatter than it actually is. TRUE! my face will go all swollen even though my body is slightly slimmer than what my face portrays. and and and then i will look kinda fat ..... sighs. well at least i was a pretty happy person then cause i nidn't worry about eating more than what i have to.

Scenario #1

YongDi: omg omg so full

(passes by old chang kee)

YongDi: wah but that chicken wings look pretty delish leh~.... (starts to salivate uncontroably)

YongDi: Arh SCREW IT i'm so FAT alrdy one more oily nonsese doesn't make ANY difference. (Buys old chang kee chicken wing along with 3 other fried nonsense cause queueing up makes me even hungrier)

Wah jialat man, so fat alrdy still muching on chips in class..... however that was a pretty flattering angle i must say (:. Kudos to whoever the photographer is.

But after INTENSE leopard training, with all those AGRs and ST, i'm glad to say i've slimmed down quite abit! as in like 7+kg. recently i went down again 1-2kg but i dun really know why, prolly cause i'm losing muscles or something. So i'm back to my SEC2 weight but i'm not gonna tell you how much la.

I still get cheap thrills when ppl tell me how much i slimmed down. Ryhn hasn't said that though... still waiting. Nina you could tell that to me again, it would really make my day (:

Yes, i shall not deny that i purposely pulled my chin down for better effect, but you get the picture.

Oh yea! side track. You know last time when we had ST, encik would go like, 70kg above take 5kg dumbell, 65+ take 4 kg dumbell. That day, jason came over when i decided to take the 5kg weights and said...

"Wah yongdi you got above 70kg meh, you don't look 70+ at all, the most 68kg."

(: (:

(: (: (:

WAH YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT MADE MY DAY!

so you all can see how easy it is to make me happy for the entire day, and also the fact that i can be extremely shallow when it comes to these things.

Yea so the point is i've slimmed down quite abit and i'm really happy about it. Not that i don't wanna slim down somemore but i'll be quite contented with having this kind of weight in the long run.

Yet yet when i got posted to SAF BANDS! i was very very happy at that point but the first question that hit my mind was.

"Die la will my weight shoot up again?"

It quite a serious issue for me to ponder upon cause band is really a grow fat place, even skinny people can turn cherubic there, i've see live cases quite scary.

My dear senior Zhen Cheng, after successfully shedding 20kg, decided to gain back 10kg, even though he said overall he still juan dao cause he lost net of 10kg.

Why is this so?

We have 3 breaks a day which usually leads us to either the canteen or the cookhouse

1 or 2 PT lessons a week which one of it is called " Sports and Games" and you can actually not do anything physically exhausting

Stay out camp which means by the time we reach home we'll prolly be too tired to exercise, versus staying in when you can OTOT after dinner or whatever.

Canteen is within the band's white house.

So of course we will grow fat la.

So i'm actually quite worried about it, i know its sounds silly but i really prefer to remain this way now. Seniors and peers alike have alrdy told me not to shun from this inevitable fate of gaining weight but still i would like to at least try my very best by....

Not eating during the morning and afternoon break, ok morning can eat abit but afternoon definitely CANNOT
Exercising during sports and games sessions unlike those other silly skin and bones people who pretty much prefer to stay in the room for *gasp.... iPEE
Eating RIGHT! thats very important so try to stay away from oily fried food. as much as possible
Running my usual route at least 2 times a week
Going for other sports activities, such as errherrm classes, so nina you gotta help me out here
For every time someone says i'm growing fat, i shall go for a jog. haha positive motivation
For every time someone says i slimmed down, i shall eat an old chang kee .... NOT!
and most importantly when someone try to entice me with delicious food at wrong timings......

Scenario #2

(During afternoon break)

Potential weight gainer: hey yongdi eat with me leh, the canteen food today very nice

YongDi: Oh but its like afternoon we just finished our lunch, i tink i'll pass ( continues to drink his fat free water)

Potential weight gainer: but WHY! the food is so nice, jut try la

YongDi: simple..... FBB

Potential weight gainer: WHAT?!

YongDi: For Better Body . ( que: Healthy Glowing Smile *shing!)

Yes thats what i will do...

Hope i persevere enuff to go thru this 2 years in band without gaining to much weight. I know it will sure happen one, but i'll try to gain as little as possible.

JIALAT LA CANNOT GROW BACK TO A FEI TUTU.

end of post.

Disney Movie Magic

2009-07-09T05:55:00.001-07:00

HEY guys! when was the last time you all watched a disney 2D movie, ages and ages ago right? Yesterday, i was walking back with Joe and BJ from the pool and we started singing some classic disney songs for some reason. Made me realise how how much i missed all those 2D disney, movie - musicals, CLASSICS. Movies like , Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin, whathaveyou.... All those movies brings back sweet memories right. I mean, i remember having to borrow all these movies from those tape rental stores and then transfering them to my tape and then watching it over and over again.

I remember doing a project on the progress of CGI, for my PW , even though i was suppose to argue FOR CGI, deep down i tink i still miss those classic disney shows. I dunno what did Mr. Disney do to be able to create such magic but it sure made me happy as a child, along with other things as well. OOO I also had this sing-a-long video things of ALL the disney cartoon movies, haha that was fun! Thats was why i decided to do this post. Basically to say, I MISS ALL MY CLASSIC DISNEY MOVIES.

Remember Pocahontas? That that very very familiar song that we use to remember and sing but you dunno what it means?

Can you understand what it means now, who would hav thougght disney movies would bring in such impactful messages, i would never know but still, it a pretty nice song.

"You can own the earth and still, all you'll own is earth until, you can paint with all the colours of the wind"

And other movies just give you little goosebumps again when you hear the music. Its just the music is arranged i guess.... magnificent.

Lion King, Cirle of Life. Joe made me realise that there was a "!" in the lyrics of the music. hahas.

Others just are music that you'll never forget, i suppose everyone thought this song was done well by Christina, but i tink i like Lea Salonga's version better.

Nowadays, CGI la , we have like Shrek and Finding Nemo this kind, its funny and cute, but i just feel that the movies now are abit too silly. I mean last time movies like Mulan, talk about filial piety. Alice in wonderland might be literacy nonsense but it still about reaching dreams, though its abit farfetched. Now movies like Wall-E just don't seem to get any messages across.

Bet you didn't know that Wall-E was meant to spread the message of world peace....... NOT!

So i find it really sad that disney MIGHT just be losing its magic i dunno... but i still feel like an excited kid when i went disneyland few months ago! Well what do you know, the MAGIC might just be coming back cause theres a NEW movie!

Excited? EXCITED! as excited as harry potter! Hope its good though.....

Alrite! I'm though a patch of bad luck, hope i don't make anymore mistakes!!! TATA!

my memory fails me

2009-06-28T05:26:00.000-07:00

HELLO EVERYBODY! i know its been so long but i've been busy with my block, using every single mintue of it to the fullest so that i won't end up in sispec tinking i haven had enuff fun (too bad i didn't end up there guess where did i end up?)

090609

POP LOH! hurriedly went home to change out of my horribly smelly clothes and had a delicious lunch with my parents and slept the day away! this should be the life man, having good food and sleeping and lazing away, this sorta thing we cherish when life is busy.

100609

Woke up at the crack of dawn to meet up with Jerome, Jonathan, MC, Chris and CS to go to sunny Malaysia!! had a really great time there cause i got to buy really really DIRT cheap clothing there, omg tink $15 ben shermann, made me happy for 3 days!! And also delicious food recommended by jonathan and cs which are also relatively cheap yay! After that met up with the usual few to play overnight mj at jeff hse.

110609

Met Ryhn and Alrik to go Teo Heng to go K! haven K very long already so even though i was very tired from the overnight mj i still pulled myself all the way to katong or wherever katong plaza was. Wahlao good jieshao agn cause it was only $11 and we sang the whole afternn away! And i still sing very good ! wah shiok! after that went to ashtons for dinner and we spontaneously went to tampines 1 the new mall to shop. Spent some money on a pair of shorts from uniqlo. Hurriedly left to meeth some of my platoon mates for dinner at holland village but soon went home because i was alrdy crazily tired by then.

120609

Went cycling with cj eupho section but why why? our FIRST section outing in months , melissa yeo decided to fall ill, still we had a blast cycling bowling, toking nonsense (i swear the section is getting more and more nonsensical by the hours) and melissa was also very sorry about it so next section dinner SHES TREATING! thx!

130609

Guard Duty! ugh, i was late for the night time boat ride to tekong noe! had to wait ONE HOUR for the next boat ride, sighs nvr was late during my bmtc times but den now late alrdy! we had to sleep in the SEAL room and i swear it was so stuffy that i couldn't sleep properly the whole night! Paired up with the awyong looking guy from platoon 2 and we went for prowler, quite fun to do prowler oso esp in the middle of the night at the soc grounds, exciting!

140609

WAHLAO in the end it was me and nina which we're screaming every 5 mins hiding behind each other for dunno wad.

170609

today went out with ryhn for his birthday lunch buffet at Ritz-Carlton. ooo quite a good spread la but i must say i lost interest in buffets long ago. My face and my barely there neck before was mostly due to hotel buffets and sushi buffets my parents liked to bring me before. So i'll try to stay away from that, still we had loads of fun with ryhn's camera, or should i say I had loads of fun with the camera. Yaoyen-ness included (:

180609

210609

slacked at home for my last day of block leave!

OMG FINALLY DONE ! i've been dragging this entry for at least 2-3 weeks alrdy! finally its over and done with before i totally forgot about it.

POP LOH!

2009-06-13T23:47:00.000-07:00

Omg finally i'm officially pop-ed cause i hav already completed my guard and duty and hopefully that'll be the last time i'm seeing the SUNNY-RAINY-whatever-shit-weather-you-can-imagine island of tekong. Not to forget my rifle wifey bitch MISS L027. bye bitch go find another man you can lean ur weight on, my shoulder almost broke because of you :)

You know the feeling of leaving a place or an organisation, you wanted it for a very long time and finally when you get to leave, you feel really happy like an emancipation that kind of thing? Yet you still feel really sad and the feeling of leaving a place and the company you have been with no matter good or bad where you have been together for 3 months. Whats that word anyway? Melanchony?

So heres to the place that had really treated me really really well.... LEOPARD COY! theres no place i would rather be cause i found myself a home. sighs so sad i have to leave that place and all the PCs and OCs cause they were sincerely caring. Especially my PC even though you were very strict with us making us do squat benders and all we all know that it was all for our own good.

and and also to my section mates, it obvious we weren't all that close to start with, but i'm sre that we had our equal share of fun in the bunk. with the shouting and screaming, tickling, biting, slapping, dancing, running around, cleaning. All the good old nonsense fun, i really had a laughing good time in section three!

thx to jonathan for whining with me all the time and even we whine THAT much we still made it in the end.

to guang melvin jason for encouraging me all those time wen i couldn't do those pull ups, and trying so hard to try for that darn IPPT. Finally all of us passed ippt alrdy.

to yongzhi and valentino to let me whine at them and then having them tell me everything will be fine, and also trying really hard to help me.

thx an and kelvin and jin for being such a joke in the bunk and making our section that much cheery.

to shiliang christ-T CS Jeff for being such friend esp during RT and some of them sharing some real delicious stuff with me.

thx to edwin and santoz also for being such an ass! ..... just jk :)

ok i'm getting bored with this post so lets stop it here, i'm terrible with all this mushy stuff

How time flies!

2009-06-06T23:23:00.000-07:00

GOSH! how time flies 3 months really passed that fast? Next week is already my passing out parade and i'll be posted to a unti in like i dunno how many days. This feeling is not strange to me cause i will always be leaving a place for another, by now i should be super used to it already. Know the feeling? Somewhere you finally get to leave after wishing for that day for ages..... but also the feeling of melanchony cause of all the good company. Luckily 3 months izn't a long time so i still didn't get super chummy with my platoon mates, still i will miss them for quite a while.

Ok sidetrack first, this week i finally got to..... wait for it....... PLAY MAHJONG! ahhh!!!! izin't it mind boogling? i swear i haven't played mahjong since the start of NS and it felt like 3 years already since i played mahjong. BUT the thing is i didn't play with my usual clique of mahjong ppl....... not xiuhao kk alrik........ not hc shermann jackson either..... i played with my NS peeps... how weird is that. Jeff, CS and guohao that is.... ok la it is relatively enjoyable (: but not as crazy.

Before the tongxiao mj game on fri, i went to have dinner with hc and shermann at shermann, dunno dunno why we ordered so much food? like ALOT stingray, hokkien mee, oyster egg thing, carrot cake, bbq chicken. Couldn't finish it but its definitely much more delicious than cookhouse food. Had mudpie! at icecube, dunno why but i don really like that dessert place very much, prefer island creamery.

den saturday i had to rush down all the way to tp on the other side of the world ok? for ryhn to help him with his silly school project. He played the bsdfbff card, what else could I do? *shrugs. I'm such a good friend as well as an extremely nice person. went to town with him and alrik after the project had dinner at where else??? but sushi tei! and had to skip the AJ dinner cause i was already very very tired. Only slept 2 hours in the morning. Do you think i'll have mercury poisoning like Jeremy Piven cause he also ate too much sushi.. think maybe i should cut down on my rainbow roll. Went window shopping but no money so cannot buy clothes, sian.

This morning i spent my whole time catching the 5 episode of The Ultimatum this week (i swear the show is getting better and better, more exciting). I especially liked the dui tou xi of zoe and fann.

I already have quite a few things planned out for my leave after POP. must fully utilise my 12 days of leave lets see...

Malaysia Trip with some of the army ppl ( short one day trip but hope it's fun)
Teo Heng with Ryhn and Alrik ( totally miss Kboxing but apparently this is a cheaper alternative)
Eupho Section Outing ( Finally got Section Outing already!) cycling at east coast i heard.
Mahjong with Xh and gang.
Guard Duty ( Oh gosh something that i so not wanna do and never ever will plan for myself, unless if it has to do with $150 and someone whose name rhymes with Thristopher Can)
Euphos Seniors Section Outing
Prac Eupho
Prawning ! with some army ppl
T17 Clique Outing
Pri sch outing (Polllyyyy!!)
more mahjong with others ppl

And other stuff like movies here and there.... omg POP pls come soon!

PS I really nid to find sometime to get the goldfishes man.

grateful.

2009-05-23T23:56:00.000-07:00

urrrgh! i'm had such a terrible terrible weekend you know!

how terrible you may ask?

how about this - THE WORST ONE THIS YEAR!

just found out i kena guard duty during block leave

went home and got a rejection letter from smu slammed on my face

woke up with an even worse sore throat ( went out with alrik and ryhn sang a horribly off-key rendition of 'happy birthday' that made ryhn laugh non-stop)

can't eat chocolate the whole week! (due to the sore throat)

came back home and got another rejection letter (YES ANOTHER ONE!) from NTU slammed on my face

went online and a handful of buggers that had those university that rejected me as their msn nicknames.... with exclaimation marks somemore! (yes joey i would really like to kill you with my SOG now!)

now the sore throat has decided to fall out with a headache as the new conducting officer!! (with my ippt and 16km route march nxt weeki can't afford to get a mc!)

I come across as a very happy-go-lucky kind of person to alot alot of people, but only my close friends know that when i get moody! i mean business ok! like INDUSTRIAL SIZED MOODY! and most of the time i wouldn't want anyone else to know this side of me so i start thinking about stuff that i shoud be grateful about

where this title comes in....

hmmmm...... lets see

well, i ought to be grateful for the fact that i could pass my SOC without much difficulty.... ( if this came off as arrogant and cocky, i'm so sorry i suppose to make myself happy only) i have to admit though, the 600m run down is a bitch

i'm grateful that nyp gave me a place in their health sci course which i'm quite excited about cause i would be quite interested in some of their therapy courses

i'm grateful that acorss my bmt life i had a relatively enjoyable time. even if some people are plan annoying at some point in time but they are generally quite forgettable people (:

grateful that i can always look forward to a fun outing on weekends even if its just a movie of a chitchat meal, outing with friends are always full of fun!

grateful that i still have friends to stand by and so thats gotta count as something right?

grateful that my pants are starting to slip of my waist.... means that i'm majorly slimming down right? omg gives me cheap thrills everytime i stand on the weighing scale! 3 more kg to my ideal weight

grateful that enciks are caring , empowering people that can touch lives with their every words of experience

well, i seem to hav a pretty good life, even if many more people hav better ones i just hav to bitch about them a little to make myself feel better, easily contented aren't i?

back to the happy-go-lucky me!

oh btw i hav to write this down in exchange for a back rub...

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR MDC AUDITION VALENTINO! I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE IT CAUSE YOU SURE SING ONE HELL OF A GOOD SONG!!! JIAYOU! YOU ARE THE BEST!

I need a life outside NS

2009-04-30T21:23:00.000-07:00

gosh Gosh GOSH! i had the most terrible week before... FIELD CAMP!! you know i didn't shower for 6 days and induced this PAINFUL headtrash on the 3rd day?? it was torturous!! and also i didn't shit for 6 days as well....

PAINFUL HEAT RASH + LACK OF SLEEP + CONSTIPATED MAN = 1 FREAKIN PMS PERSON!

i swear i was the most upset i was in those 6 days and i spent most of my time complaining, groaning and moaning, and staring into blank space.

wads worse? i still hav another 3 days nxt week!! arrrgh! ( blogged this last week, finished sitest alrdy yeepee!)

NS is quite a time consuming activity, (pls lar 5 days a week?) but still i got the time to meet friends that shall! keep in touch.

MARIST CLIQUE

one of my most impt group of friends to meet out with, and we will meet out almost everyweek since the start of my NS life, shopping, drinking watching alemay, eating good food(nid loads of those lor if not i will suffer when i go back to ns food) and watching movies la, basically doing all those things that i love to do... SLACK AND REEEEERAX! all those crazy stuff that we in our heydays, don't do that much anymore, aiya we grow old already la, now we just sit at the cafe and watch as young ppl go crazy and we go SIGHHHSSS..... those kids nowadays. AIYA! it just so happens that when i hav the time, i'll contact them first! ooo and all those gossips doesn't seem to end do they?

CLASS TEEEEE SEVETEEN!

Went out with some of them i dunno when but we went to SENTOSA?! cause i die die wanted to go underwater world since i haven been there for ages, we went on a weekend and its was FREAKIN CROWDED can?? full of foreigners from some part of the world where they like to push and squeeze ppl around and also take their time to look at the bloody exhibitions!!! arrgghh makes me so angry cause i nid my weekend to be perfect can!!

Actually i could only get tgt Yilin Nina and HF cause the rest are NS-ing on their confinment week....... sad life right

Underwater world is not wad imagined it to be alrdy ):... the tunnels are super crowded and stuffy can?? i was almost like panting when i came out of the tunnel.

Nina and her new hairstyle. wah that macik at the back loves the camera arh.

Hate being bald, look like shit.

Unamused looking fishes. (I know i complain too much, but hey theres always room for improvment )

Yilin and Nina, aged 42 living in Yew Tee

We went to the beach later on after and trotted of on the soft sand of siliso beach.

ATTEMPT JUMPSHOT #1 -FAIL!

ATTEMPT JUMPSHOT #2 - FAIL

Yilin and I are then the real jumpshot pros!

Dunno why i took this photo but they looked like they were doing something interesting (:

They were suppose to look deep in thoughts but i guess yilins got the acting skills of a ballpoint pen

I look like an idiot.

Attempt to do the charlie chaplin kick but only nina managed!

Our mouths looked funny cause we were chewing on Ferrero Rocher Nina bought from Europe, but den i found it at Carrefour selling at $11.95 the next day.

SECTION DINNER !! (Thanks to Ms Melissa Yeo Xinyi Section Outing is no longer an existing vocabulary in the euphonium's dictionary )

We had dinner at the Glasshouse! cause i was really craving for sushi teh and fish & co that they, but then i had the rainbow roll with ryhn in the aftnn and was like super full so it affected my appetite for fish & co alrdy.... dang! Went to the house to wait with melissa for the jr lot but they came super late can... and i mean super SUPER late it felt like we waited for 3days and 3 nights for them lor! can go on the short trip to malaysia and comeback still they haven reached yet ugg. then me and mel are suppose to be angry with them but failed miserably....

Still its same same thing where we ended our last SO, good company, good time.... just that it was like super crowded and noisy (god i hate crowded places!) cause that day apprently was like 15 ppl's bd and every 10mins the poor waiters had to do that silly fish & co bd cheer while some shou xing gong/po act shy/suprised/embarassed. Then people started to dedicate songs to each other ie to wish them happy birthday, lets just say most of them would fail the first round of sg idol. So we made a $15 bet with joan to make her sing on stage, wahhhh! she like totally owned it la. Her singing sure win at Anguerah one.

PRI SCH OUTING LEH?!!

Only manage to hav a chit chat session with Polly on a sunday morning at island creamery.. Gosh i haven been there in ages!! I still go for the old flavours that i liked... cookies! yum! and i also had a baked alaska cause i deserved it for the torturous time in field camp! I love pamper my body like this.

PS. CJCSB GOT GOLD WITH HONOURS FOR SYF WOOHOO! I HEARD THE RECORDING FOR IN THE SPRING! ITS REALLY IMPRESSIVE (but i still like feste romane more *winks)

PS. Suddenly really feel like gg sunyanzi concert aiya how!?!?!

How I Miss Japan!

2009-04-09T04:59:00.000-07:00

Back from NS again, this week i din feel so bad cause it was quite an enjoyable week and stuff, even though i was tortured to death on a singular day, but my platoon mates were being really nice to me, esp my section *sobs.

Finally found the time to dig out some of the photos i took in Japan cause the last few weeks i have been busy writing uni applications online. (Only one of it got accepted, and its not a University haha!) But i couldn't find the Disneyland photos ):

THIS WILL TOTALLY BE A PHOTO-LOG POST WITH MINIMAL WORDS, I'M BECOMING LAZY ALRDY.

This was some cute little japanese samuai village, looks quite modern right?

My mum with her 1000 yen winter jacket, she has been gg around telling everyone about her cheap jacket.

Took a little shot through the gates of the samurai houses, wahlao where got samurai ride bicycle one.. kua kua

Don't you tink this neighbourhood is a little .... fire-prone?

The modern tower totally spoils the picture like a sore dick.
MY mum with one of the aunties she decided to be bffs with.

This street is pretty!

Actually i really don't mind living here, but the tour guide said the property prices here are sky high.

This was like the common market for japanese, we had this crab the previous night for dinner. Shiok right?

Expensive leh. 7500 yen = $127.50
We had some of the local snack at this market, quite delish oso.

Dunno wad nonsense is this, looks like hae bee to me.

OMG and den it started to SNOW tt day. i mean i was never expecting it to snow it feb yea. but den it snowed a little den alot! i hurriedly took the camera out to take pictures but the snow was too fine. but you can see the road is wet with snow right?

Vegetable division of the market, never seen alot of this veggies before but i conclude that i will prolly hate most of them anyways.

In another area of property.
Went to take a look at this temple and saw this thing, i still dunno how to use it though.

The temple was empty. One of the locals were very nice and he tried to tell us with his limited english that there was a beautiful area at the hilltop where we can take shots of the city.

So we started climbing like cows but the weather was nice so it doesn't really matter. Saw cherry blossoms!

Here it was the reward for climbing and sweating, looks like hongkong.

Oh but i saw this really pretty cat! why singapore don't have such pretty pussies on the streets.
I dunno where is this.

We went to this garden on the hill this time and i suppose the tour guide told us that this was the most picture perfect shot.

Cherry blossom garden, only a few of the trees had whit and pink flowers on it.

I personally feel that the pink ones were so much prettier than the white ones.

Didn't smile cause my face was frozen solid and if i move it my cheeks would prolly crack and fall. This is the results of using many years of SKII, your face reflects light just like in the commercial.
Elaborate Meal #1 - tofu with gold flakes (real gold btw), tempura, stewed chicken and some other nonsense.

I walked out of the restaurant to realise it was snowing AGAIN. hurriedly took some photos again.

i tink singaporeans are pretty weird cause snow is like rain to the foreigners and we are frantically taking photos like snow is like diamonds falling from the sky.

My mum then came out from the restaurant but eh snow had turned fine again.

This was in one village where apparently the destitute live. but but how can such an improvished place be so beautiful?

Look they have like a long long bridge with huge water feature and mountains at the back ( shan sui jing leh)

The houses looked pretty big to me.

Looks like a winter wonderland.

We went into one of the houses to look around and they served us tea made from wild herbs.

The other aunty that my mum made bff with.

It was snowing alot at this little village and i really enjoyed it alot.

Elaborate Meal #2 Don't even noe where to start, except that there was a paper hot pot.

This was a photo taken from the hotel, the night before me and my mum went to shop along the streets cause the tour guide say most likely won't snow. Then it started to snow like a heavy snow! omg we hurriedly rush back to the hotel for dinner. I then went to the bathrooms with one of my male tourmates and hear i was at the rooftop pool, my body in warm hot spring water and face cool with snow pattering on it, it was totally heavenly feeling man. Thats why the nxt day the whole place was covered in snow.

Another of the market places we had to go selling tidbits and others.
Actually this looked like the monsoon drain beside my house, but then its covered with snow with ducks swimming in it!

What a luxury to shop beside a river, but it was really cold that day.

This shop sold cute little intricate bird magnets which are like 100 yen = $1.70 i brought it for all my friends.

The owls were made from wood chunks, so clever of the japs right.

Some ramen making machine in the ramen factory, dunno why i went to take photo of it, but the rest of the singaporeans were doing it so i followed along, sighs singaporeans.

Omg izint this the cutest scene, everytime got a tour bus leaving the carpark, the factory employees with the manager will stand in a line and wave byebye until the bus is gone! haha

Everything was covered in snow, even the fields looked pretty.

Elaborate meal #3 - some pork dish which was supposedly a samurai meal.

We went to this snow mountain thing, i love the icicles hanging down from the house, looks so xmas-sy

The waterfall feature on the top of the mountain.

With the skiing place at the side, reminds we of the korean incident when i went skiing right *winks

This is not the waterfall, just a sewage system

My mum with her extended bff clique, not including me.

And here all the tour ppl , one of the elderly woman in my grp slipped on ice and sprained her wrist, so her family wasn't in the photo, which we didn't know then.

Cute little igloo.

Me attemping to make a snow angel, a fat snow angel.

Botak Vineyard, still we had some winetasting and the wine are like quite cheap yea, like S$25.

OMg i have to rave abt this guy, he never wears a winter jacket to anywhere and just wears this long sleeve shirt, even at the snowy village. tok abt hot man.

How wasabi looks like, looks like a diseased carrot if you ask me.

The sun sets like at 430 in japan, during winter of course. ~looks like an early winter and so comes to the end of my photolog.

Hope yall enjoyed this photolog, of course i hav other more exciting photos but i couldn''t find it, until i find it this will be the only instalation to my japan trip.

Omg now i feel like gg kbox to sing all the emo tanyachua and sunyanzi songs cause they are so nice, how how anyone wans to go??

And does anyone noe alot abt RT cause i hav been gg ard reading abt it asking my fren but i still know nuts abt it.

OH AND CONGRATS TO MSSB FOR GETTING A GOLD FOR SYF OMG I'M SO VERY PROUD OF YOU GUYS! ESP MY DEAREST EUPHO SECTION!

What a way to lead a life

2009-04-03T07:11:00.000-07:00

Back from tiring NS again! In the island, life is always busy but but... fulfilling and of course fortunte. Its a funny mix of feeling when you are on that small little island, you tink clearer you feel refreshed, your life seems to be in place. Yet at the same time you feel lost and lonely sometimes. It the balance of life i guess, you can't hav everything, life's just not fair.

I perfect recipie for an NSF life .....

A slew of horny army songs
A bunch of crazy kids who likes to dance and sing
An individual who likes to make moaning noises
A himbo
An moving and empowering commander ( he made me tear!)
A gossiper
A bunch of ghost stories
One whos sings non stop
A few funny sergents
A postive person

Sometimes when you feel lonely thats the only way to pass the day.... think that you hav a perfect NSF day, which i do, serious shit.

PS i really really miss all my friends gosh~!

The Future's for Us to See

2009-03-27T22:58:00.000-07:00

I honestly didn't know i haven't blog for such a ridiculously long long long time but yea i hav been slightly depressed after i've seen my A level results, it is times like these where you hav to re-evaluate your aim to life and whatsoever.

What is our future you might ask, if there was a mirror that could tell us the future, would you look through it. For me i will never ever do it cause i might get a shock of my life. I would tell you this : i hav the most unpredictable life.

Still, since young i hav been telling myself to not tink much about materialistic stuff and focus on the important things : stay in good company, have fun, be happy.

It might look easy but it is one of the most difficult "guidelines" to follow and my goodness did i have a hard time doing that.

Now which my shitty standard results i might just hav found a way into happiness. I think in my opinion, is to keep life simple.

See if you think too much into it, you worry alot more too, so you will feel unhappy, and hav no fun ):

So i tinking of being a farmer in japan or a globetrotter to spain....

btw i dunno what i'm toking about

Went to an island and left my worries back home, only returning to find them still here...

I shall just be brave and silly so that i can face my future. Keep life simple!

Yong Di's Thoughts

2009-03-02T06:08:00.000-08:00

On Lily Allen's new album ...
What else can i say?? Great Great Great! She's an icon in British pop music! I especially like the song, Everyone's at It which has a very important message to put across all ages! From grown politician's to young adolescents. And AND, i love the song, Who'd Known, cause it gives me her Littlest Things's vibe. Lily Allen's songs hav impeccable lyrics which are meaningful and makes people think through issues. I especially like the fact that shes straightforward i.e Sir Elton John!
And she truly cares for issues such as the environment etc. One true celebrity!

On the upcoming A level results ...
I honestly try not to think about it. Cause i have this biting feeling that i will do damn badly! It's true! all indications i will do badly! Recent good luck means all my luck will be used up by then. I hav eeneemeeneemineemo a thousand times but more than 50% of the times is negative. AND i did badly for PSLE, den O levels i feel i did well, so you don nid an Einstein to know what's ext, get the pattern?

On people who don't answer their phone ...
The most irritating can?? IF you dunno how to use your phone (i.e Shermann) then don't buy such a complex phone that you need PHD to work it! ugg its the most perplexing thing to constantly try to reach someone and hes not picking up the phone. Ok.. maybe at night is forgivable you might be sleeping. But in the day?! pls pls if you just wanna receive miss calls, DEN GET A PAGER INSTEAD!

On tardiness ...
I know it's extremely irritating to be waiting aimlessly for a friend to come to meet you. Since the invention of the handphone, people hav started to ignore important things like being on time. Cause i simple sms " Sry will b late u guys go on first" is all the explanation that there will be. I feel for people who wasted at least a decade of their lives waiting for me to arrive, so i'm trying my very bext not to be late anymore and i'm sure the rest will follow up? NS will sharpen my punctuality exponentially i promise!

On homosexuality/ bisexuality ...
I've been thought of being a gay which i'm of course not! not that i'm very proud of such an accomplishment but i've been giving alot of thought about this topic which people cringe at at the slight mention of it. I watched Vicky Christina Barcelona and this movie really set you thinking. what if? Just what if everyone is born bisexual?? what if you hav feelings for both sexes but BUT this society just makes it appear that everyone would be heterosexual in fit into society's norm. Such a taxing question that set ur brain on a tedious task of uncovering human behaviour. As Lucy Liu once mentioned,

"I think people sometimes get the wrong impression when they're like, 'Oh, well, so-and-so was straight and then she was gay, and now she's straight again,' you know? But it's like, how many times do I have to kiss a woman before I'm gay? Everybody wants to label people. Sometimes you just fall in love with somebody, and you're really not thinking about what gender or whatever they happen to be. I think that if I happen to fall in love with a woman, everyone's going to make a big deal out of it. But if I happen to fall in love with a man, nobody cares."

btw must disclaim, just because i'm not homophobic doesn't mean i'm gay or bisexual, don't go all LAUREN COOPER on me ok?!

On people who like to act 'qing gao', high class, classy.
Some people just like to prove themselves to be high class, or rich. Things like, i play golf... i like to drink red wine, omg wait wait for this... i recently saw this art piece about blah blah... HI-FREAKIN-LARIOUS! i just sit there and wonder why would people just go through all this mafan to make others think highly of them. I once considered being there but now i'm proud that i'm a 100% true blue Singaporean! I don't like reading cheem angmoh books, i don't play golf or any other chi chi high class sports. and i don't like to drink redwine, maybe once in a while, and i don't know how to view abstract art, unless i see the description. Maybe if you hav just one intrest in something unusual, it quite normal, but trying to know all your stuff about being qing gao is just disturbing, especially when you are in your teens, and not a saggy artsy fartsy uncle.

On Miyazaki movies ...
I just think Miyazaki just has this part of the mind that no other adults have, maybe apart from Walt Disney himself. His movies hav just so much meaning in it even though it's cartoon, some are meant for children like ponyo, but his messages come out so strongly!! About the environment, about human nature, about children. How can a movie be so entertaining and at the same time carry so much morals and so much messages is beyond me. So i started becoming a VideoEZ member and started borrowing Miyazaki movies to watch. Spirited Away still being me most favourite! And Joe Hisaishi music is just so wonderfully touching. Have Compulsive Bandsmen Disorder help tremendously too! Cause i could literally feel the music, very piece is such a touching story. I wonder how why is every of his songs so addictive, when the key of his music changes, it always gave me goosebumps.

On jogging ...
I'm starting to hav a liking for jogging already! Its just such a wonderful feeling of accomplishing a long a tough route. Its like a metaphor of life! We run, we go through hardship and sweat, but if we go on with it and persevere, the feeling in the end is like magic. Everytime i complete my route, i just feel such a sense of accomplishment (esp since i never run so much before in my entire life), that you can't wait to do it again, i feel so joggish now i think about it. But alas leisure jogging is slightly different from jogging with a timing, but both you have a sense of accomplishment. I especially like to jog at night cause there are less people (I have this psychological barrier that i'm not gonna make it when i'm running behind someone) and of course its more cooling. But have always jogged with my ipod so i dunno if i'll become too dependent on it that i will think i cannot mak it if i don hav my ipod, another psychological barrier! sighs.

On love ...
The book leap of love and futher more the movie The Leap Years, tells of the story of the girl who is a dreamer, the girl who fully believes in love at first sight, when meet the him/her, your heart will immeditely tell you that, hes the one. So it makes me wonder, what if hes really the one? what if you only have one shot in your life for true love and you'll never know when it comes or goes, and when its gone, its prolly gone forever... isn't it a scary thought. Alot of my friends have found apparently wad they think is love, some are sadly mistaken and left heartborken... so when is the right time to start finding the one? One more thought when i read another book, what if ur one is like as good as it gets, but it is not as good as you wanted it to be... think about it.

On travelling ...
The song, "it's a small world after all" is sorta nonsense cause if not people will save so much money so that they can splurge on some trip to a romantic city, or an exotic beach. Travelling is such a fufilling thing and yet such an impossible task when people talk about their trip around the world. SEE, even China you hav to spend at least a decade to travel to cause every place had a totally different culture except for the fact that all the toilets hav no doors. The fact is, i'd love to travel, travel to every part of the world! And only few job offer such an wonderful scope( aside from free dental and medical, thats very important!). Tts why i tink i would like to study overseas, at least you get to live somewhere else besides singapore for a part of your life, wouldn't it be unfulfilling if you had to stay in one place for the rest of your life. I'm not being unpatriotic here ok its just something that i always ponder on. I think that globetrotters are the best people in the world, cause they learn something new every single day, a different culture, a different language. Such a fulfiling and accomplishing life, ahhh!

Thats my two cents on some things, when i get stress over something, i just like to ponder on these kind of things, i'm not a philosopher, i'm not someone great or qing gao, but sometimes in your life it good for your brain to ponder on life itself.
