God. You are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Author and Finisher of my faith. Lord, my situation now is, kinda messed up. i need You.

You say in Your word, that wherever i go, Your Spirit is there. "If i make my bed in hell, behold, You are there."

So God, one question i have for You, right here in this place where no one is, is this.

Where are You?

Lord, Show me Your Glory!

give me the strength to carry on.

give me the provision for this vision in my mind.

i'm tired of having my hope brought up, and then come falling down.

Show me Your Glory!

so so so sorry, after a long long while i'm finally back to update. ben very busy with my p2 now, don't have much time for other things. but i'm updating now because, well, i just finished updating my project group's blog.

like p1, this module requires us to have blog consistently so that the lecturers can know what we are up to. thing is, we haven't updated in weeks, and every week each of the 4 members must post once. so i'm in charge of posting for everyone so that our blog doesn't look that cui, and i just finished 8 posts, since 10+ today, quite fast right? and it's not just short posts, it's quite long. you can take a look and see how long, plus find out what we've been up to by going here www.pianointhegarden.blogspot.com

anyways, i've missed a few services and cell groups over the weeks. i went for make up service, but i'm damn emo that i couldnt go for cell last week, cause from what i heard it was quite good. haiz, damn sad, miss my members. at least i can see them again this weekend! =D

oh ya, yesterday i went NUS find keewei, haha! cause we needed to shoot a scene at NUS, so needed him to help us. anyways while waiting for my group members i crashed one of keewei's lectures. 2 hours, about computing. damn bored!!!! the whole auditorium almost no one paying attention. and keewei showed me something damn funny in the notes. there was a line about something like "the source of..." but they spelt it as "sauce", damn funny, lol.

wah tell you, NUS is damn big, like seriously big. i think can fit a few TP inside, seriously scary. that strenghthens my resolve not to go uni next time, haha. at least now i can show off and say i've been to a NUS lecture for students before, haha!

anyways, going to have a final shoot later, hopefully everything goes well. weather's been terrible lately. keep praying for me, ahha :D

2009-02-28T01:56:00.002+08:00

muahaha, i'm going to post before the end of the month! hahaha

anyways, doing my P2 and my VidPro now, quite stress at times, although now i'm kind of slacking off. VidPro filming started on thrusday and we're left with only 2 sequences left, not bad, but then again VidPro is the easier one.

P2 on the other hand is a killer. does anyone know any boy and girl, both around 9-12 years old, who knows how to play piano? please please please please lemme know asap k? really need help with the casting.

anyways, i'm supposed to be in bed now. service tomorrow, pastor is going to continue his series on love relationships. the last one, should be good, haha! the drama team are super funny, the way they act, although very funny, seems so real, like it can happen to some if not most couples. maybe that's why people laugh, cause they suddenly realise "oh wait, i'm not the only one!"

ciao, and if anyone do find the boy and girl, please once again, lemme know? thx alot!

2009-02-03T01:53:00.004+08:00

alright, after a long long long break since the last post (Dec 1st, wow!) i shall update this blog again.

basically what i've been up to is just, well the usual i guess. went through screenwriting and creative writing classes for the block, two modules that requires me to come up with a story. if you'd had asked me to do it in secondary school i could easily do it, but now, out of touch ah, haha, but in the end managed to do it. now currently chionging for my screenwriting final, an assignment given two weeks ago, that i'm starting now, due later at 3pm.

oh yea, december, celebrated my birthday, haha, took quite alot of pics, but alas, cant find the camera. think it's with my dad. thanks for all the wishes (even though i'm abit late for thanks).

january, nothin much happened, except for chinese new year, and joanne's birthday. won't touch on CNY, haha. for joanne's birthday we smashed whip cream on her face, otehr than that, nothing much to mention. haha! :p

right now i jsut started on Project 2, which is sort of the major project of the academic year for my course. i'm also taking video production, so this 4 weeks should be quite intensive. but i guess it's ok, for P2 my group mates are betty sholleh and andrea, people i guess i can get along with pretty well, seeing as i've known them for so long. looking forward to see what kind of work we can produce.

alright, i'm supposed to be doing my work, update later, hopefully earlier than 2 months later..

2008-12-01T22:33:00.002+08:00

wow, still in school, hahaha, 1030pm. doing my work. could have been done earlier, but i was just playing around.

why an i here? cause my laptop charger is screwed, and my desktop monitor failed on me. convenient right? this explains why i'm online so rarely nowadays. haha, not that i don't wanna talk to you or something. ok maybe some people i don't want to talk to. haha just kidding, i'm such a loving person.

anyways, to those people i promise to link, i will link you. for now, i need to go, cause i gotta catch the train before it's too late, and cab fare from tampines to batok isn't very cheap. just wanted to make a quick update before i go. like i always say when i disappear and suddenly appear, I'M NOT DEAD!!!!!

alright, check back if you want to, i'll probably update soon, cause i'll be like, staring at computers in school more often nowadays, and when i don't feel like working, heh heh heh... the wonders/curses of msn and blogger...

2008-11-16T21:32:00.002+08:00

haha, back to blogging again. sorry for my disappearance, but i've just been too busy.

took motion graphics and audio 2 for the last 4 weeks. man, either one alone can be a killer. anyways, in audio 2, worked with adeline, apple, candice, germaine and shuxian. never really knew adeline and candice before this, but it was nice :) what's more, i found out something interesting. i knew candice attends CHC, but i never knew till recently that she is either going to be or is a PCGl sia, lol.

motion graphics is fun, just that it is damn sad la. masking sucks. alan gave us a clip of a man lifting weights, and it's only about 14 seconds long, but we had to cut out his weights, head, upper and lower body and left and right hands and legs. there are 25 frames in one second, and for 14 seconds, do the math. we have to mask him out frame by frame, and worse thing is, it's just an exercise, not and assignment. never encountered one exercise that is harder than the final assignment. anyway, for the final one we have to animate the temasek design school logo, and i kinda just started, deadline's next wed, so for monday and tuesday i have to chiong all the way.

anyway, these days i think i'm getting more and more careless. first, my laptop dropped from about 1m and the screen now has a big crack, so the touch screen doesn't work. on top of that, the charger wire broke, so now i can't charge, so i can't use it unless i use jem's charger. AND, today, i lost my wallet on the bus. ARGH!!! @#%$$#%@#$

haiz, never mind. think i blogged enough for now, haha. just wanted let the world know i'm not dead, ahah, cya soon, hopefully...

2008-10-27T21:15:00.004+08:00

I DID NOT DIE IN TURKEY!!!

came back quite long ago, just in case some people didn't know, hahaha, just that i wanted to blog from my laptop, but laptop in repairs.got it back le, but now the damn screen has a problem. only happened once, so i'm hoping i don't have to bring it down to clarke quay yet again.

i'm not gonna post the photos i took in turkey yet, cause i'm lazy and the photos are still in the cameras, haven't bring over to my laptop, haha, i was actually hoping to do a lengthy post on the trip, but now i think i'm just gonna do a picture post, lol..

i will however post the photos of the much-anticipated bunny-suit outfit!!! woots! ahhaha, end of post, of course.

anyways, school's started, and it's 12-6. dammit. haha, the most boring timetable ever. can't got anywhere in the morning OR afternoon, and at night need to go home. but still the past week has been great for me, wahahaha. met many people again. MIN MIN!!!! I STILL HAVEN'T SEE YOU!!!! ok nevermind, yea, things are great, sometimes abit sad, but overall, awesome... yyyyeeeaaaa...(surfer dude accent)

alright, i think i'm gonna end here, upload the bunny pics and cya next time i post, hahaha, enjoy!

2008-10-01T23:03:00.002+08:00

well, haha, gonna update for the very last time...

...before i go to turkey. haha! yeap, going this sat 11pm. if you want to send me off you are more than welcome, but i also don't know which terminal, so good luck finding it, haha :p

don't ask me why turkey, lol, my mum just wanted to go there. i think she read a magazine article about the place. anyways, that's the future, and blogs are here to record the past yea? haha, so, today i went to help out the Children's Church children's day service and guess what, i was the mascot. haha, i just volunteered cause i thought it would be fun, plus, no one else volunteered. they needed 3 people and only me and another guy went up. haha, but it's okay. i wore a bunny suit. lol, damn cute, but DAMN BIG AND HOT. i have some pics to show, but all in weijian cam, so if he replies before i end this post then i will post them up :)

wah, tell you, the suit damn hot man, cause it covers the entire body, and i was wearing jeans -_- we had to help out when the kids came down from their buses to welcome them, and i think that whole process took about 30min - 1 hour, can't remember, couldn't exactly pull back the sleeves to check my watch. so i stood outside church with all the other volunteer ushers and greeted the kids, and at the end of it i went back into the church building to relak one corner, and i found another guy in a dinosaur suit. didn't see the guy before, haha, from what i heard he was "guarding" the gate when one of the leaders asked him to go grab the suit.

lemme explain my suit first. i had to put cushions in my tummy to make me chubbier, and after that i had wear this super thick costume that covered my hands and legs completely. then i had to stuff my shoes inside the rabbit's feet (which was very big, i kicked my own foot sometimes)before putting them on because otherwise it would have been too loose. and also the gloves that make it really inconvenient to adjust my specs inside the rabbit head, which is roughly 4-5 times the size of my head. and talking about the head, wah, jialat. i was sweating inside that thing, all coming down from my hair to my face and occasionally getting flicked all around inside. by the end of it, the hole that you put your head into was drenched. i pity the next guy using, it can't help but wonder about all the people who have used it in the past months. also, it was hard trying to see through that thing. all had to look out of was two openings, which, i admit, was quite big, BUT, in the middle there was nothing, so basically what that means is, i can look left, i can look right, but i can't see what's in front of me. i walked right into a pole because of that. and also i can't see anything below me, and there were lots of LITTLE kids, so i had to feel them with my hands to know where they were.

i thought i has it bad, but the other guy's suit was worse. his feet were bigger than mine, and his head was smaller, which meant the eyes were smaller. in fact, he couldn't see anything unless he squeezed his "cheeks" inward to open up enough space to look through the mouth. and, his tail was longer. haha, i'll explain the tail later.

so anyways, a group of us, including the dino guy, just sat there and crapped for quite a while about all the suits, which was amazing, cause i had no idea who any of them were. haha, i'm so sociable :p we also talked about how hot it was inside, and i squuezed out sweat from shirt. not just a few drops, mind you.

when it was time for all the kids to go back to their buses, there i was again, being an idiot standing there with a bunny suit. this time, i was more cui than ever, cause the heat inside was starting to get to me. and it turned out that the kids were more violent now. they whacked my butt, knocked on my head, slapped my eye, and worse, some of them pulled my tail and my teeth. now you know why i said the other guy had it worse with the longer tail. i almost cui out right there in front of the kids, but thank God, i'm strong. haha! but collapsed on the floor once everything was done, just dropped down when i when back to the corner. too tired to move further, haha. my hair was drenched. weijian said i lost 3kg from all that, lol. and remember the cushion i put on my tummy? it was soaked. haha, but at that point in time i didn't really care about hygiene, just about being able to sit and lie down.

overally, it was quite fun, although, i don't think i'll volunteer to be a mascot again. the kids, some of them were damn cute, haha, can see some of them growing up to be shuai ge and mei nu, lol. especially one girl i saw, haha, i'll date her after 10 years.

yea, so that's it. wj hasn't replied me (bugger..) so i guess the pics will have to wait, won't it :)

2008-09-25T13:22:00.003+08:00

yay, i'm blogging again, you all happy right? haha, now i will blog even less, bec ause my laptop just got sent for repairs. finally found the warranty card in the laptop box. i was looking for the box for a long time, just that i was looking for a big box and not a thin one, which i opened one day by mistake and found everything inside :) so yea, hopefull i can get my laptop back before next thursday, and also hope that the wireless can work, so that when i bring it to Turkey on saturday i can still stay conencted to singapore. wah, so patriotic right, i know.

so anyways, on monday i brought my laptop to somewhere in clarke quay for repairs before going over to aloha changi for SA chalet. wah tell you, damn hard to find the building man, i circle the same block (merchant square) about 4 times before find the place, which i discovered that i also walked past 4 times. but you can't blame me, they hid the shop. so afterwards went over to tampines inter to find out that only 7 or less people were there already. haha, expected more, cause when wendy called me and said she waiti for me i thought, wah so nice of her, when i get there, so little people, sian diao...

overall the chalet was fun, although at the start it was abit more lonely, eventually, more people came and everything started going up, haha. got to know a few people better, lol. don't wanna talk much about it, cause i'm feeling sleepy at the moment, so yea, it was all good, haha.

wednesday after chalet went home before going for study group with my cell group. of course i was just supervising the younger people, lol. but just wanna announce that amenda's formal letter writing (which i made her do) scored highest in class, haha, she got my DNA, lol. summary also not bad if i remember correctly, lol. see, got result le right, haha.

ok, im gonna stop now, feeling damn hot, need the fan in my room.

2008-09-14T23:42:00.003+08:00

well, once again i'm blogging, hahaha. sorry for such a long abscence, but i was ~~lazy~~ busy. so yea, hahaha

even as i'm blogging i'm doing, or supposed to do, an assignment for film language. procrastinate, hahahaha, k lah, after this i will do.. but must check tpmail first, scully alfie email say change something, then need to edit, hahaha, must work smart.

anyway, yesterday (sunday, since it's exactly 12am now), w479 and w450 had a combined cell group, and we celebrated zhong qiu jie, haha, after cell went eat then go to void deck play candles and sparkler. wah, tell you, the sparkler like smoke screen sia, play abit only the whole place got smoke, macham like got fire... so in the end can't play, later people complain. so we just lighted lanterns and hung them on a tree, haha, the candles damn cui, so fast burn out, then some drop from the tree, lucky never burn :p

yea, so basically that was my day, haha, not much, but still had a good time. heh, and now waiting for an umbrella to send me a photo, haha. wah, damn slow.

oh, by the way, just saw a documentary on history channel on the electric chair, the first guy to be electricuted was a guy named william kemmler. and why am i saying this? because the guy is damn suay.

being the first guy, the people didn't know how much electricity to use, or how long to leave it on. so they shocked him at 1000 volts for 17 seconds. after that the guy just slumps down in his chair. seconds later he starts gasping and they turned on the chair again at 2000 volts for 2 minutes, and his skin was burning and stuff. like i said, damn suay.

yea, w479 and w450 "quan jia fu", haha, minus a few people, lol.

a tribute to thhe first person to read this post: priscilla, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh...

2008-08-18T21:52:00.004+08:00

well, i'm no longer in w450. had to leave the cell group...

no i didn't backslide.

we multiplied! haha, now i'm under keewei in w479. will miss w450, jessica and the other people still inside, but i guess i like where i am now. looking forward to many great things in here. haha.

jess and keewei graduating from SOT this week, woo! haha, wish them good luck with their final exams.

oh, and i'll be going to nani's chalet to celebrate her bday this friday, another thing to look forward to.

well, i guess i've not much to say, just that i'm w450 no more!

2008-08-12T23:31:00.003+08:00

wow, been a long time since i last posted, wahahahahaha...

blame my laptop. my wireless screwed up, im using an external adapter now. feel damn stupid, laptop for wireless but cant use. haiz. haha.

anyways, now im having a break from school, 4 weeks, haha, 3rd week now. and just nice church is having a 2 week prayer meeting from 7am to 8am, this week and next week, so i can go, woots. haha, the last time round i couldn't go because of school, so, yea, it was meant to be :p

wow, august, i cant believe so many people are born at this time. hey wait, maybe i can. august = 8month, minus 9months = december. so therefore many people got abit drunk during the festivities and poof! out comes a little child 9 months later. ALOT of people birthday man. haha, tight budget... but it's ok, many are good friends, so it's worth it. come to think of it, i haven't got weijian and min their birthday presents yet, cause it was in may, and at that time my budget was seriously zero. haha, min, find one day go out i treat you something la, everything you want is like, either expensive or something i can't choose cause i'm not a girl. as for weijian, i plan what to buy already. haha, but still must wait abit, cause tight la, lol, anyone willing to give donations?

alright, it's getting late, i have to wake up at 5.30am, and call wj at 5.45. good night world :)

2008-07-22T20:52:00.002+08:00

i really shouldn't be blogging now, but, ah well...

guess what, i skipped class today, muahaha... well, it was now or never, the wahidah's last class is tomorrow, i think, and i could skip 2 lessons max, and since i haven't used it yet, might as well (all my freshies, don't follow me ah, especially the MOI ones, i know wahidah isn't a very thrilling lecturer, just deal with it!). stayed home the whole day, like, for once after don't know how many months. feels good. just hope i find better things to do next time than surf youtube. after this week ends, it's a free block for me, meaning 4 weeks without any lessons planned. muahahaha. after that it's another block. i hate this one. 4 weeks, 9-12, 3-6. like, what the hell, i have better things to do la, in between 3 hours you ask me do what? guess i'll figure out then, haha, only consolation is that after the 4 weeks we have a design holiday, another 4 weeks of slacker-hood.

scriptwriting submition tomorrow. being a model student i've spent the day researching and doing my stuff, and now i'm done! (that's the G-rated version. here's the R21 one - i spent the whole day, like i said, surfing youtube, and never do anything!! woohoo! score one more for late nights!) PComD presentation tomorrow too, and since i've practically done zero work in the group in terms of designing, obviously i'm doing all the slides. don't worry, the gorup isn't screwed. those who know me long enough know that i have a knack for pulling out miracles from my arse (again, G-rated word), so i guess tomorrow will be a swell day. have to wear formal though... hot ah, afterwards still have to go riverwalk for bs, wah, hope the night will be cooling.

one of the things i searched for is "we made it" by linkin park and busta rhymes. it. rocks. whoo! "take a look i'm a symbol of greatness you could call me morpheus, as force securin' the win but they believe i'm so notorious" i like that part, the way he stress on symbol and stuff, i don't know, it just appeals to me, ahahaha. and he raps quite fast, i wanna learn the lyrics. the video post had it, just that it's abit hard to follow, cause the lyrics are the original, the video was singing, erm, a cleaner version. npt to worry, the lyrics are still within the PG-13 realm, only word that was used was nigga. and once, shit. which, isn't much, if you think about it, but ah well.

cut my nails, everytime i type something with my left pinkie (or is it binkie?) and ring finger i feel the flesh, haha, cut too deep. damn uncomfortable. on a side note, august damn suay ah, so many people birthday. 6, to be exact. good thing they're all girls, so it's relatively easy to get presents. i also wanna get something for the people's birthdays whom i have missed out on. three, i think. hmm.. wallet stress...

well, gonna go now. maybe i'll finally get a head on and call raymond to ask him what i've missed.

together we made it...
we made it even though we had our backs up against the wall...
forever we waited...
and they told us we were never gonna get it but we took it on the road......... :P

2008-07-08T01:15:00.002+08:00

supposed to be doing work now, but hey, havent blogged in a long time, and not much to do (ok, im just minimising the workload), so yea :)

well, vpres is over (think i got a B overall, judging by my latest assignment marks..) and audio (john said our group did quite well, hahah)

presently doing PComD (Professional Communating Design) and Scriptwriting. pcomd. have to use brain alot man! wah, and some more must make portfolio, i lost alot of my previous works lor... sian... scriptwriting lect is wahidah, ok la, sp-so, just that she is DAMN talkative. non-stop sometimes, and she think she is sec school teacher, treat us like children. but this kinda teacher easy to handle la, just be nice abit, suck up, ask questions here and there, then she won't cause too much trouble le. must have "sunzi bing fa" when dealing with people one, haha.

oh, one more thing to blog about, haha, i won a 98.7fm contest for 5 tickets to watch the screening of the dvd "The Black Parade is Dead" in GV plaza, and it rocked man. watching MCR perform on the BIG SCREEN. too bad, the sound is damn soft. i say soft because i'm used to blasting my chem songs, haha. went with cosina, kezia, and her two friends. couldn't get anyone, at first it was only kezia and i, then we were like, sian, dont know wanna go, then last minute managed to drag down people, haha. oh, if you were wondering, the contest is just sms them why you think they should pick you to go. i just crapped out an answer and voila, so simple, hahaha. and another thing, with the ticket stubs from the concert screening we could buy the DVD at 19.90 (it was 20.90.. stupid, i know...) so i went to get it, but after i paid i realised i didn't take out the ticket, so i have full price. not that bummed out about it, cause it's still only $1.

hmm, feeling abit moodless these few days. you know the feeling you get when you just don't feel like doing anything, and that the only emotions you feel is impatience and frustration? not sure if it's for everyone, but yea, i get male PMS once in a while. when it happens i guess just leave me alone temporarily. i get better (or worse, depending on how you think of my usual self :P ) eventually.

and one thing i realised, for the past few blocks i've been playing green ranger (as in, from the original power ranger, the guy that eventually became white ranger). why do i say so? i kinda doing everything solo, even for group projects, and only once in awhile the other rangers will chip in. i don't know if it's exactly their fault totally, sometimes in projects i tend to try to do everything my way, so end up i do everything myself. but ah well, that's life. just hope i don't put people off..

gonna stop here now. not sure what i can do for project, but yea :)

2008-06-18T23:37:00.002+08:00

gosh, havent blogged in a long time... this is 151st post i think, according to that post counter thing. yay, i officially have a post for every pokemon in red/blue/yellow version.

kk, update update!!! well, just to torture most of you guys, im gonna first talk about a game i played!!! muahaha, picked up my bro's psp about two saturdays ago, saw Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core. man, that game is damn addictive. i basically played through the night. for the next few days i could only be seperated from it by lectures and church. and the occasional few hours of sleep. hahaha. well, basically the game is the backstory of FF VII, and is about this guy called Zack. the story is damn good and i was kinda shocked to see Sephiroth being the good guy (for all the other geeks, alright, i'm sorry, i didn't play through FF VII. that one was like, damn long, and the graphics couldnt hold me that long). well, anyways, the battle mode when you meet monsters or fight people has this thing called the DMW, not sure what it stands for, but it's basically this jackpot like thing with faces of different characters you meet throughout the game. if you get three same faces, zack will use a move that is learned or influenced by the character. sometimes there are situations before a mission where the DMW is affected by heightened emotions, so basically its sortta a thing that gives you an insight about zack's feelings. wah, the ending scene ah, damn good can. it starts with zack carrying a semi concious Cloud to rest at a rock, before standing up and leaving him behind to face like, thousands. and because before that it was like, 10 minutes of movie, where the character moves around by himself, i thought the fighting was gonna be a movie too, but all of a sudden the voice announces "Combat mode initiated" i was like, holy crap, you want me to fight them all?! so i jsut hack and slashed, didnt really do much, they just shot at me in every direction, but thing is, when i got down to like, near 0 hp, the DMW suddenly kicked in and showed faces of three different people, and played a short movie about these three people from zack's memories, before going back to fight, and then it kicked in again and showed another 3 people, and another movie, so it was like, the guy's final memories as he was fighting to his death. the last DMW roll showed aerith (or aeris), zack's girlfriend. and the 2nd and 3rd jackpot wheel kinda got stuck, the 3rd one trying to move around but something holding it back, like as if zack was focusing on her, until all 3 clicked into place, and a movie of her was shown. wah, damn touching, ahah.. i'm not the sortta person who get's emotional over movies or whatever, but this shows how good this game is. then in the end, the battle sequence ends, and begins with another battle sequence, this time with only 3 opponents left, with a very bloody and slow moving zack. that's what i love about the game, it's realistic fantasy. haha....

aiya, don't know why i waste all that time explaining, go get the game!!! its damn damn damn damn damn good. im not usually so much of a fanboy, but the game is just that good!!!

anyways, other news, taking visual presentation and audio 1 now, things have been... haiz... both are very brain-draining....

the block's ending soon. next thursday is submission so friday i'll be free!!! sleeping time!!!! muahahahahhaha....

getting quite random again... no mood to blog after talking so much about the game... hahaha

haiz, gotta do my work again

2008-06-07T00:09:00.002+08:00

im finally blogging again after damn long, like, less than 10 days is one month le, muahaha, damn pro right?

taking visual presentation and audio 1 now. vpres, is a killer. richard wee is a perfectionist, and it's damn hard to get As under him. i mean, it was hard enough for me without him, but now... i've been averaging Bs on my assignments so far. must work harder this sem, slowly push up my grades. hope that by end of my tp life i would get at least 3.0 gpa. might be easy for some other people, but i don't know, i'm just not good at all these things. audio 1 so far has been fun though. we had to a radio jingle, and my group did an ad about a gun. my idea, hahahaha.

got into the same group as sarah, clinton and shaohui again though, sad-ded. not that i mind them, just that i want to try working with different people. made a deal with raymond to be in his group for the next block. i think it's gonna be a crazy block. haha.

sorry if im boring you, my mind isnt thinking straight now. damn tired. just blogging for the sake of blogging...

hmm, dont know why im blogging now, i'm supposed update my journal for StoPp, but i guess i logged into this account instead, and pressed new post by routine. but its ok, there's some things i feel like blogging about anyways.

didnt sleep much for the past few days. mainly cause i was on the phone BUT, it was also cause i was doing my work. im hardworking ok. alright who am i trying to kid, it was cause i didnt do my work earlier so have to chiong whole night.

another speech tomorrow, after that, no more work for public speaking. haha. now have to do powerpoint for StoPp. should be quite ok, cause im done with the hard part, which is storyboarding, which is why i didnt sleep the day before. my drawing is like crap, no depth, according to mr ronald, but he liked our presentation!!! thank God i decided to put everything into the powerpoint presentation and play the song. i thought everyone else was doing it so i decided to do it too, turns out we were the only ones who did it. so now shaohui is redoing the whole storyboard, sarah is doing the scheduling, cause she said she's good at planning. clinton will be scout for location. the only other thing i need to do is to put together all the storyboards into after effects and make an animatic, which will probably take at most 2 hours, including render time. now im quite confident of this project. haha. oh, by the way, for those who have no idea what i'm talking about, forgive me. i was jsut typing all that so that later i can copy the whole chunk and paste into the other blog. smart right.

went TM yesterday. something got me slightly down, and coupled with not sleeping the previous night, i started getting abit emo, haha... just thought that person would be happier, but like, no reaction leh. sian diao, haha, talk about trying to do something for someone.

well komez was watching iron man, and cosina, sabrina and i went late, reached there when the movie started. so we slacked around. they bought two small pizzas to share, so nice of them, haha. alright, since i didn tthank them, i'll take this time to thank them here, haha. walked around, went to toy r us. my God, sabrina has no childhood, she's like fascinated with everything. maybe that's why she's still like this even at 16 going on 17 years. haiz.. hahaha.

slacked till 9, told them i wanted to go home, but cosina wanted to wait for dion and the others, since their movie was ending already. so we wend to mac, and saw a few other komez people hanging around. the rest came out, and cosina in the end wanted to hhang around with dion for awhile. can't say that i was sad, just abit disappointed. whole reason why i waited was cause i thought i'll be going back with her. nowadays in school so lonely liao, everyone diff schedule, then i thought finally got people to talk to on the train, in the end, haiz... but now i feel bad, cause i was supposed to call cosina at night, but i was too tired, fell asleep when i was waiting for a few people to sms me. in the end i didnt send jess bs and study hours.. then sms cosina, she gimme short reply. great way to start the day. haiz, not sure if shes still pissed.

heck i'll end this post here. got stuff to do.. i think.

2008-05-05T05:12:00.004+08:00

ah, finally i can blog. stupid blogger screwed up on firefox, and on my desktop my internet explorer lags like crap. ok actually it's my desktop that lags like crap.

used my desktop to do my Public Speaking speech assignment, gonna have to give the speech in front of the whole class of about 23 people in like, 4 (if i'm unlucky enough to be the first) to 6 (if i'm lucky enough to be the last) hours. i have to say that i'm quite impressed at my speech, i'm not bragging, raj said it was good too :p didn't know i could do such a "drama" speech. must be all the movies or tv shows i watched finally paying off.

i wanna watch iron man!!! roar...

anyways, all the freshies & GLs that tagged, i linked you up. if i missed out some (pauline, i think i missed her out, or does she even have a blog? have this impression she tagged with a link...) please tag again, thanks.

komez is having a bbq at ECP on 18-19th may, sunday and monday respectively. have to check what time it starts though, cause i'll probably be rushing down from bukit batok after cell group. after one year i still hate the west-to-east-and-back-again thing. but it's worth it, especially for the people. haha.

anyways, just wanna put up a disclaimer, a few posts ago i mentioned something about FOW and FOC freshies, and apparently some FOW freshies asked if i was biased to FOC, well, just to clarify things, i'm not. i love ya'll just the same, jsut that since the two camps were about the same i decided to talk about FOC cause it was longer and had more things to talk about.

hmm, i think i'm going into another camp soon. my church camp, Camp Ignite, on 29-31st may. anyone wanna join me? please? FOW/C & DOC people preferably, so i can zi high with you guys, otherwise i'm alone, cause min is having exams!!! not sure if talleah is going, although she said she was, cause if min has exams she might have too, since they're from the same school and all, but maybe year 1 & 2 is different. hmm... anyways, seriously anyone can join me for this camp, i need your company!!! and if you're good at cheers it's a plus too, cause i've been made team leader and i have to be the one leading the people in cheers and doing head counts and etc... i need help with the cheers part. got a few in mind, but need feedback, haha, anyways, think i've forgotten half of them by now.

lol, i just sortta left this post hanging cause i went to check somethign and forgot about it after i came back. 6.41 now. better go prepare. i didnt event print out my stuff!!

2008-04-27T18:41:00.003+08:00

well, just came back from malaysia. went there in the morning to have breakfast and to go to some TCM place in there. my mom, grandmother and i went to see the doctor (or should he be called physician? hmm, doc will do, shorter...). for me it's for my flu which have been with me from birth, i think, haha. and while i'm there, might as well let him take a look at my eczema. wah, the guy damn proud i tell you. "i dont care what the other doctors (western, not TCM) say, you just take my medicine and you'll get better." he didnt say that just once mind you... and his tone of voice was damn proud also...

anyways, now i've been told i can't eat things with high vitamin C, which is ok for me, since i never really cared about such stuff. it's the other things i can't take that pisses me off. chicken, curry, milo, biscuits (hello panda!!!!! nooo.....), and worse of all, CHOCOLATE!!!! ARGH!!!!! how am i gonna live!!! i was telling my mum on the car, "wah, bu yong huo liao la.." (no need to live already), and her reply was, "na ni zhan shi bu yao huo lor, hao liao cai fu huo" (then you don't live first, when you get better then live again)... diao right?

hmm, apparently shol got his hp back, with a new number. he got the same hp so that his dad won't know he lost it. loser, hahahaha jk...

damn bored. have lotsa work to do, but i rather chiong the night. model student right? or should i say, model design student. hahahaha..

i ended the post just now, but think im gonna blog abit more.

wanted to blog about this before, but keep forgetting...

after surfing a few komez freshie blogs (hooray, im now a stalker), i realised that they're very similar to me as a freshie. i remember when i came back from my own Freshmen Orientation Workshop, i was damn high, and my blog post talked about the 3 days, and i posted some of the ophix cheers too. looking at the freshies' posts, some of them did the same thing, even blogged about the same things, like how first day abit sian, but by third day everyone damn high or something like that. guess that's the same sentiments of those who went for all 3 days of FOW/C in tp...

and seriously, im seriously irritated by people who seriously keep say that im seriously getting closer to any particular freshie, because seriously thats just crap, so i seriosuly gonna not care, cause seriously it's starting to get out of hand, even sholleh who seriously didn't attend the outings knew about it, but seriously, what can i do? this paragraph is dedicated to 1.55m sabrina, seriously :P

2008-04-23T03:08:00.004+08:00

well, decided to blog again. long story short, been to two weeks of camp, FO and DOC. both were killers. super tired, but ti was worth it, the experience, the friends, and most of all, the freshies.

FOW and FOC was great, the komez freshies are so cute! at the end FOC, while the GLs were being debriefed, they even danced the mass dance. haha, outside, i think all the other groups were jealous of how much fun they were having as an empire. im not gonna talk much about the workshop, cause it was quite a normal experience, good, but nothing out of the ordinary (sorry to any FOW komez freshies who chance upon this site! you i know i still love you guys!), but just the FOC was really quite emotional for all of us. imagine on the first two days, komez was 1st, and on the last day we dropped to last. i mean, when they announced the results everyone was shocked, i believe even people in the other empires too. my first thought was that they were kidding, and they're gonna say it's some other empire or something.

after awhile it started to sink in to the komez GLs that it really was the case. after quite a while, i might add, cause we were all just stunned for a few seconds. then someone started a komez cheer, not sure if it was a GL or a freshie, but all of us just joined in and gave it our bes,t or as good as we could, cause i think most of the GLs were holding back tears. yea, even me. i thought i wouldn't get emotional over these sort of stuff, but yea, i did. because inside i felt like they didn't deserve it, and i as a GL had somehow failed them. but yea, almost everyone cried, even a few freshies. i think some of them would have been thinking, "siao ah, these people, cry for what?" but it's just that we as GLs had really put in everything we had into the empire, so we sortta grew attached to it. i think the spirit showed, because for future outings, komez freshies were always the majority compared to the other empires :p sad but true, guys, sad but true. hehehe...

so anyways, on to DOC. my empire was Davie, my sub empire as i learned was called Datrix, like, Matrix. muahaha, damn cool name. Gls were me, ying, jacq and alisa. tell you something. on the first day of the orientation, when the freshies came in, datrix had 3 guys and i think 20 girls. end of the day, they went home. next day, only 16 came back. and guess what. 2 guys left, leaving me with one guy, (special mention, Kian Leng!!!) and i kept making fun of him. i introduced him by saying "hey, this is KL, da man! in fact, he's not just DA man, he is da ONLY man!!!" we had head counts, and we paired everyone. KL got paired with (once again, special mention!!!) cosina, who was also in komez! woots! anyways, i think she kinda bullied him, cause i heard her calling him her slave a few times. hahaha.

and i think the night walk isn't as fun, when you're a GL. i was like, walking past the ghosts, and i had to walk back to get the girls to follow me. they all stayed damn far from the ghosts, except my man, haha, and another girl, (special mention, aka, S.M.!!, okay wait, maybe not S.M.) huitian, she was the bravest one, she went right up to the ghost, and when the ghost tried to scare her she didn't even flinch. as a GL you have to take care of them, and the fun just kinda gets lost. but i have to admit i was abit scared at the start, not sure what to expect. but the very first station we visited the moment i saw farhan come out all the fear just left, haha, hard to explain, but you just suddenly see all of them as your friends with too much make up on. and at the end, when farhan asked them to go, all of them left so fast that they didn't see him trying to give them something. in the end i was at the back, farhan whispered, "eh JY, take la!" damn funny.

ohh, one more interesting story from the night walk, this one i heard from the girls, cause i wasn't in there. they followed one of the ghosts into a toilet, and all of them squeezed inside. the GLs were left outside, no room. somehow or rather the ghost that led them in got trapped behind the door, cause i think she moved behind it to let the freshies come in, but they all streamed into the toilet and blocked the door, and hence, she was trapped in a corner. my freshies saw her smiling to herself. think she couldn't take it and broke her act. in the end she banged on the door loudly and all of them got freaked and ran out. haha.

last day, regatta. fun, but yea, we didn't win the most spirited school, don't understand why. i mean, i know why engine and IT didnt win, they were like logs. but design cheered like siao, and we all had so much fun suaning all the other schools (maybe thats why we didnt win). the thing that pisses me off is that business got it. they so don't deserve it. never mind, there's always next year. muahaha.

so overall, the camps were great, met many interesting new people. lost my voice, gained new friends. good trade.

this is one long post, and i ain't done yet.

SENTOSA!!! WOOHOOO!!! i'm so enthu even though i didn't go... i only joined them when they came back. went to dinner at the rooftop of vivo, the open air space. somehow the FO people from all empires managed to get our own spots, although not everyone went. total attendance i'll put at about, say, 200? give or take. so we all sat down and ate. and out of nowhere the NYP people, less than 50 of them, challenged us in cheers. i think they either thought that they were the most enthu bunch of people around, or that the TP people directly in front of them was all that there was. big mistake though. the moment the cheers started almost all the FO people ran up and joined the ones at the front. tat yi was leading, haha, expected. tall, easily recognisable, and his voice somehow just seem to carry across the crowd. the moment we did Venos' boosamaliya cheer, it was over for them, but we continued with Accion's shake your booty, and Phantos' long cheer (original, not "P is for pei pa gao"). in the end we gave them 3 cheers, and they returned it with another. goes to show that NYP is only good for s _ x - s c _ n d _ _ s. oops, just kidding. hahaha.

and finally. komez dinner outing, quite a few people showed up. had fun, but i think a few people kinda got irritated by me, cause i was singing random songs from my phone and blasting them, and those who've seen my phone know how loud it can be. throat feeling like crap now, but i'm happy to say that i can hit the high notes again, muahaha, some songs i sang i didn't know i could go that high, but then again, i never tried singing at the top of my voice. when i sing softly everything cracks. haha. i wasn't the only one singing though, people like tat yi and a few others were hurdled together singing chinese songs. there was one point where i think they rapped zhong guo hua or something, it was damn fast. i looked over and most of them were singing, but tat yi was the only one who could be heard clearly. like i said, his voice travels.

so yea, i didn't blog for very long, some people complained, so i hope this keeps you happy. till the next post, bye

2008-04-07T02:23:00.002+08:00

wow, its FOW day 1 today. 2.23am. im supposed to "wake up" at 5am, and leave house at 5.30am. have to reach by 7am. i bet when i get there i'll be like, the only one there. maybe besides ella, our empire's HGL, cause she's sleeping overnight. min too.. sigh, damn sad, both of them live in the west but already at the east. have to go alone. hope the train won't be packed, cause i'm carrying a big bag.

monday to saturday, 6 day straight, seriously, i should be getting some rest. but i was doing something and it just got dragged and now im here blogging because im afraid i can't wake up in time. not sure how i feel towards going for the camp though. at first i thought it was damn cool, fun, and all, but now the excitement kinda wore off. guess in front of the freshies i gotta do what i do best, zi high.

the cheers for komez damn ah beng sia, ahaha, but nevermind, at least it's fun to do.

after this 6 days its one day of rest on sunday, although i dont know how much resting im going to do. afterwards its Design Orientation Camp! that one im looking forward to. cause i guess the GLs are more united, or maybe cause we have less GLs to unite. haha, but sad la, i got seperated from lydia and daphne in my sub empire. only guy somemore, haha, but then again, only 4 groups, 4 GLs per group, and every group one guy. shortage of MANpower la, can't help it.

so anyways, gotta go, not sure what to do, just dont feel like staying online so long. 6days of camp, here i come!!! hope i dont faint, like i nearly did in my DOC last year...

K-O-K-O-K-O-M, K-O-K-O-M-E-Z!

2008-03-31T21:42:00.002+08:00

well, i'm back to blogging.

forgive me for the spamming in my tagbox, needed take a screen shot of it for my project as reference.

well, more than a month, and i'm back. project one sucked. my project sucked too. sorry for being brutally honest. lots of last minute changes and in the end, can't finish.

well, the only thing i remember is the DOTC2, which happened on friday to sunday. no wonder i can remember.

was in Davie. dammit, i was seperated from everyone. good thing lydia and daphne were in my group. i'm someone who is not-so-quick to make friends, so i guess the first day was quite lonesome. slowly got to know more and more people though, by the second day it was much better, haha. guess the games and flag making helped.

wow, 12am, haha, left my post hanging for like, damn long. so anyways, yea, the camp was fun. now, enjoying one week break before 2 weeks of camp. seriously, this can't be called a holiday. haha, but it's fun, and besides, i signed up for it. might sign up again next year, if time allows. but year 1 already so many htings, year 2... haiz... no wonder not man designers are in FOW/C, and not many year 2s and 3s in DOC. seriously, when our director talked to the GLs and asked who was year 1 95% or more put up their hands. haha. we'll see. some die hard years 3s are in the camp as well.

hmm. i signed up to be a ghost for business school's night walk as well. it's like a dream come true, scaring business freshies. i have something against business people, dont know why, maybe cos min is inside, haha, brings the rivalry up a few notches.

well, i guess i need to go now, going school tomorrow.

2008-02-24T22:35:00.002+08:00

dont really know what i'm doing here. guess i just need an outlet.

why doesnt God rain down solutions for every problem? would make things much easier. but then again, it would make things quite boring, wouldn't it. doesn't matter.

so many negative things happening in a day can really wear someone out. guess i'm not as strong as i thought. and end of the day, something else had to happen. hmm..

feeling abit tired now. not just cause i went for overnight prayer meet at JW on friday, but, just feel abit tired on the inside, like, stretched. man. just gotta grit my teeth and go through it.

ah, to heck with this post. jsut end it here

2008-02-14T00:56:00.002+08:00

i know i haven't blogged for very long, but actually i did, and quite alot too. i followed sharon's suggestion and posted lot's of photos, but in the end something happened and poof! all gone.

anyways, just here to keep this blog alive, won't say much.

happy valentine's and friendship day to everyone!

Vday = a commercial holiday where couples get all lovey dovey with each other.
Fday = a day which losers without company made up to make themselves feel better about their singlehood.

how else to explain that they are on the same day?

anyways, backtrack, now doing MOI project one, so will be abit more busy. have to keep an online diary, so i think i'll update that more often than this for awhile.

proj14065b.blogspot.com

same group as angie andrea and jake again, my group in video fund. but let's not talk about school, had enough of it. MORNING CLASSES!!! one hell (night class) in exchange for another. i'd take moring over night anytime, though.

went to the gym on tuesday with ed, kok and wj. quite proud of myself, managed to push myself to do mroe than what i thought i could do. mind over matter baby, yea. feel like making it a weekly, or at least a fortnightly thing, but, we'll see how thigns work out. hopefully i won't be so busy at school.

ed and kok, didn't really change much, but that's not a bad thing. hung out with them for a while and suddenly it feels like i'm back in secondary school again. miss those days. oh, min came too, although she didn't go to the gym. but she still made her "prescence" known to me. let's just say i had to carry her over the highs and the lows, so to speak. won't elaborate, though.

still debating with myself if i should go for OTC refresh. sigh.

2008-01-26T00:35:00.000+08:00

guess who's back to the blgging world! yea! *waves to everyon* hey, hey, not too many photos, i'm gonna go blind! haha! what? sure! i'll autograph you notebook! and you, yes, i'll autograph your tissue pack, and what do we.. I WON'T AUTOGRAPH THAT! PUT YOUR PANTS BACK ON! SECURITY!

sorry, i'm tired. but so happy that i'm back! cause being back means i actually have time to blog, and having time to blog means i have ended my italian and 2D art fund class!!! woohoo!!! praise the Lord! i have a picture of my 1m x 1m painting, but i think i won't post it yet. think i should get a whole picture first. BUT i'll post the OFFICIAL best painting in my class, and possibly the whole of the MOI yr 1 cohort. it's damn nice, by yi chiun. i was there when she painted the shirt, omg, genius, master painter, long lost great great great grandaughter of michaelangelo. me, i'm more like the grand son of the servant of picasso... ah well, it's over. WAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA

the real reason why i'm so happy is cause italian is over! come ti chiami your ass! no more italiano, signorino! wonder why i every chose it. i was tempted to put japanese down on the second round of the subject selection, but based on feedback and experience in learning foreign languages, i decided to be smart. wah, yesterday's(thursday) italian test was surprisingly easy, even though i only like, studied a total of say, less than 45 minutes? muahahaha, thank God. and today's role play, nervous ah! damn jittery, my lines, ahhaa, carissa also. sigh, but, ah well, MOMMY!!! IT'S OVER!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!

hmm some girl in class got on my nerves, but i've decided not to blog-b*tch, and besides, as a Christian, it won't do me any good to hold any grudges, so i forgive her. anyways, i think i only just figured out why she's being like that, even though i don't even know her, except for her name and course, and her gender. but then again, she was slightly hostile before that. whatever. these people exist, i can't please everyone. the people that matter to me are ok with me, so i'm happy :) just in case you didn't understand what i meant, read the last two lines. wahaha...

ooh, my two Design GLs were in the same italian class also, ahha, but their's was in the morning.

gonna sleep now. bye...

2008-01-04T09:17:00.000+08:00

spent the night at jem's house last night. supposedly we were to do our paintings, but in the end we ended up fooling around, playing his guitar, looking at funny emails, etc. we did do our work, turns out it took us like, just and hour to finish it or something, probably even less if i didn't take the guitar at random in between... think i'll have to redo my work anyways, don't think she'll accept it. sigh.

something...happy just happened, haha.

well. anyways, i'm in school, nothing to do. forced out of jem's home because he had morning class, and fellowshipping with his father isn't exactly on the top of my things-to-do list. don't get me wrong, his father is friendly, just that i'm anti-social, haha. speaking of which, talked with the twins yesterday about being anti-social, turns out we're both, ok, the three of us, since i talked to germaine and i'm assuming gina thinks like her too, have the same sentiments about it. haha. random info, just to keep you happy. are you happy?

oh, just remembered one thing jem and i did last night, watch jay chou videos, haha, damn cool, and funny, lol. ying wei pi jiu shang shen ti...

now i'm waiting in school until 4pm, which is since 9am when i reached here about 7 hours, after which i have italian class at 6-9pm, meaning, 12 hours in school. haiz.

TP open house is next week, and i'm supposed to be helping out with the student ambassadors. not sure how that's gonna happen, with italian and all. if i miss one lesson, poof, i'm retaking it next block. or something. guess i could, since it ends at 5, and my class at 6, but that would mean i'll miss Jam and Hop at 7! sigh...

hmm... feels damn good :)

2008-01-02T02:36:00.000+08:00

hmm, think i'll blog again before not blogging becomes a habit.

well, first up, happy belated new year to everyone, hope that 2008 can be a great year for you. 2007 maybe have been a good year to some, while it may have sucked for others, but hey, it's the start or a new year. start it right, and you're halfway there to ending it good. so cheers to 2008!

should all acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
should all acquaintance be forgot, for auld lang syne...
for auld land syne, my dear, for auld lang syne!
we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne...

ever wondered what auld lang syne stood for? i mean, most of us sing i every end-of-year, but we have no idea what it means. kinah, my former schoolmate and colleague at delifrance (ugh!) made a good guess when she said it was "old times' sake". i mean, auld=old, and syne=sake, sounds plausible, right?

but check this out, i found it on the net, it actually means "times gone by". so...

we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for times gone by...

learn something new everyday, huh.

well, like i said, 2008, fresh start, new beginning. some people think that a year gone by too fast or too slow, but to me, it's like, refreshing, you know? kinda like the feeling you get when you're all tired and sweaty and your clothes stick to your skin, then once you shower, change into new clothes, the feeling is...awesome. haha, fine, i'm cheesy. so what. haha

looks like i'm gonna have to make a new year's resolution, and looks like i just failed one too. you'll know what it is soon enough.

1)make more friends, be more social.
2)be a good GL at FOW/C 08/09
3)stop sleeping late (ahh, so that's what he was talking about...)
4)finish the whole bible (few more books to go! if i've survived numbers, i can survive anything!)
5)rise up in cell.
6)think of other's before self.
7)pray and love God more =D
8)get at least 3 for GPA? (hard, but fingers crossed...)
9)do more useful things once in a while.
10)STOP procrastinating (scold me if you see me doing it)

hmm, my timetable noow is a killer. i mean, 12-3, 6-9?! night classes, in TP! i'll reach home like, 10.30! nooooooooo...... think i might being my laptop everyday or something, in case i get bored.

hmm, 3am already. 3am.... and the rain, not falling....

ok, lame. moving on now, hey ophix you're so fine, let us GL cheer your line!

can't wait for FOW/C :) oh!!! koleicai, koleicai, ohh!!!

2007-12-20T14:27:00.000+08:00

wow, last entry was 12 december, it's 22th december now and already so much has happened which i didn't blog about. haha.

13-15dec. CHC Breakaway Youth Camp.

first day, met up with my members at the MRT station, and we arrived late cause we had to wait for some people. when we got to the hall of Koh Chuan Presbyterian High there already groups of people cheering. we went over to our house (Warriors) and tried to catch up on the cheers. surprisingly most of the people there were quite "ons". haha, i guess it's the CHC spirit :P can't remember much from the camp itself, except that we played many games and on my birthday at midnight i was "captured" by my members and w376 and subsequently water bombed. i knew they were up to something. haha. oh, also, the session on day 1 of the camp was terrific. really like the prasie and worship, when edwin, wj's classmate and WYZ zone cell leader played Breakaway. really look/sound like Poh from the expo service praise and worship team. afterwards wj showed me a picture of edwin in class and immediately i was like "that's the guy who led praise and worship?!" couldn't believe it, damn funny. haha, won't elaborate though. wel, eventually we got 4th placing, but it's ok, had a great time. our "ally", Ninja, betty's house, won first place. good for them. haha.

17-19dec. Orientation Training Camp.

the theme was movies. the GLs were seperated into different empires, each named after a genre. Phantos (fantasy), Fyrtho (horror), Accion (action), Venos (romance) and lastly, my empire, Komez (comedy).

betty, sholleh and i got into the same empire. the only other MOI person, mal, got into fyrtho. haha, she had min, so i guess it was ok. lol.

hmm, at the start breakaway camp was more fun, but as time went along the games became more fun. i guess it's cause my group grew closer together. haha, i can't really remember alot of the events now, but yea, haha, met new people, and sad thing is, i can't remember half their names, hahahaha. there's a contact list, but still can't match some names to faces.

i guess so far the empire's favourite cheer is ko leh cai. haha, if you met me you probbably know what is it by now, hahaha. another nice cheer is Accion's A-c-c-i-o-n cheer. simple but nice. haha.fyrtho damn suay though, kena suan by us and accion like crazy on day 3. poor min. :P

guess that's all for the camp. jusst glad to say i completed one of the wishes in the "Forgotten Wishes List". still feel good about it.

2007-12-12T02:44:00.000+08:00

back from MCR concert. lol, i almost left halfway cause i was ditched... lol, won't elaborate, but i have to thank gina and germaine for being there to "comfort" me. haha.

so anyways, the concert was great, got dragged into a most pit before the concert even started, but besides that, it was great. oh, and my ear still hurts cause this girl shouted damn loudly. haha, i will post pics, but the quality is very bad. lol, so see if i lazy anot :)

sigh, sometimes it get's pretty lonely, doesn't it.

i don't know.

arghs, never mind.

2007-12-11T04:09:00.000+08:00

MCR concert in a few hours time :)

today schedule damn hectic. started by meeting priscilla at 1.30 (supposed to be 12.30, but she changed to 1, then i arrived late. haha) at bugis to go to bras basah to search for items to decorate the cell group appreciation awards. got a few acrylic paints and a marker with gold on one side and silver on the other :)

after buy those stuff we headed to raffles place to help jess buy something, before going to redhill to pass it to her and pick up the undecorated awards. i got to look at the phones her father bought from china, got one damn cool. haha, no sony ericsson phones though :(

afterwards pris and i went over to her house with the intention of decorating, ended up slacking instead. i looked through her entire vcd collection. well, let's just say it's a good thing daniel wasn't there. stacks and stacks CDs. he he. waited for jon to arrive, and we continued slacking until jackson came, and still trying to postpone doing work, we played around and amde some "guesswork". haha. afterwards we finally got down to decorating. there'll be a sneak preview later on. haha.

had a great time with the 3 of them. come to think of it, the 4 of us never really got together before. well, first time for anything, right? decorated, went for dinner, overheated a hairdryer along the way. macdonald's is damn lazy. just because of a little bit of rain they refused to do delivery, even after the rain stopped. well, it's their loss. wasted our time though, we walked a long way to the coffeeshop and a long way back. i must say that i'm quite impressed and satisfied at our progress. haha.

jon's grandfather picked both of us up and dropped me at kvan mrt, and all too familiar place. haha. and yes, i said grandfather. jon, he's like, 70+ already, but still driving around in a van! how cool is that! he looks like he's 50, 60 at most. sigh, one of my grandfather is dead, the other one is 90+ year old and can's speak english or chinese, and i can't speak hokkien. damn, i don't have grandparent's love. haha. my grandma rocks though, still kickin' at 60 something, whipping up fantastic dishes along the way. tian xia zhi you po po hao, you po de hai zhi.. er, la la la.

and here's a preview of our work. we do till damn shag, so please appreciate it, w450!

actually jon posed for this photo. before it we were slacking and watching heroes on channel 5. shhh.........

so there you have it, my day. haha. would end here, but there's something i wanna say as a spectator.

a blog is for you to share your experiences with people you know, and maybe even don't know. through it you can let people have a glimpse of your thoughts, perceptions, experiences, etc. blogs are made for the purpose of being seen by everyone, and anyone who objects to that idea claiming passwords might help is a retard. you don't post something you don't want people to read.

that being said, i have to agree that blogs are personal. people edit the template to make it look like what they want it, thereby giving people a glimpse into their minds. others just blantantly rip off people's skins, and some don't even acknowledge the ones who made it. that however is not the point. the point is that some people take blogs too personally. they write out every single thing that comes to their mind. some good, but occasionally some bad, be it racist remarks, defaming comments, and so on. the trouble starts when people go for personal attacks, saying things that they know will affect specific people, and with no intention of doing good. they can say things that hurt people, and when confronted, they make remarks about how their blog is just that, their blog, and they could post anything they wanted, and that if people don't like it then they can just not read it. this is about the most childish behaviour i know. yes, i admit that once i was like that, saying something about my good friend which i'm not really proud of. thankfully i salvaged that relationship, but not all outcomes are the same.

my point is, you can't say something about someone on your blog, even if you didn't specify who, and deny all responsibility by asking that person not to read it. it's like screaming at a five year old kid, and when he starts crying you deny responsibility by saying that he could have covered his ears and not listen.

why am i writing such a long essay on this topic? let's just say that i'm a spectator. i don't like to take sides, but if i'm forced to, then i think i know whose i'll take.

2007-12-04T18:27:00.001+08:00

it seems like its a ritual for me now that everytime i try to post i start rambling on about how slow blogger is. i mean, i tried on BOTH firefox and IE, but both took forever. ah heck. maybe that's why some people prefer sites like wordpress, livejournal, etc. me, i won't be changing anytime soon, cause i'm a computer idiot and i rely heavily on blogger's user-friendliness. interesting fact for you, i was in my sec school's IT club. sometimes i tell people that i and i can't help but feel like there's a thought echoing out of their mind through their ears and into the surrounding area going "nerd...nerd...nerd...nerd..." i mean, come one, give me a break, i was only in there cause of the cameras, and that's the only reason also as to why i know the people in TP. without playing with the camera's in IT club, i wouldn't have gone into TP's moving images course, thus i'll probably end up somewhere in like, SP or NP, maybe even RP, which is much closer than TP. ah well, why am i talkign about this anyways? i didn't wait 5-10 mintues for blogger to load just to talk crap.

i don't know, but it seems like i've been kinda neglecting my friends in TP nowadays. i hardly have time to go out with them now. yea, sure, it's the holidays, but i still have things to do. i think the people i've REALLY neglected are angie andrea dion jake wendy and etc. i mean, in the past two days i've turned them down twice. today i actually thought i had to do something later on, so i turned down the movie at dion's house. i told wendy i'll be free on wednesday and thursday though. afterwards the thing i had to do was postponed to thursday, so i'm not free then, and just now i jsut got a call, and now i'm not free on wednesday either. sad life.

sigh, shuxian's birthday is tomorrow, and i'm broke. afterwards it's wendy's at 24th, plus, MCR concert on 11dec seems to be so far away now. apparently kezia still haven't got the tickets. dammit, i will never forgive myself if i don't go for the concert. last resort, buying the tickets, and even then, who will i ask to go with me? and what if it's already sold out? damn. sometimes i just wish i had more time. maybe i should learn better time management, ie. stop playing games/going out andreachign home late in the night, and having to wake up late the next day feeling like hell and not wanting to go out. sigh. games can really drain someone. first it was grand theft auto, which kept me up till like, 4-6am in the morning. after i realised waht was happening i decided to back off from the game for awhile. then along came C&C3. damn. if only there was this pill i could take that can give me endless energy, that i don't have to sleep, and it won't affect my eyebags. the other day i was sick and went to school, jill said she couldn't tell when i'm sick, cause my eyebags are dark and thick all the time. haha.

well, i guess that's enough of my rantings for now. next on my to-do list, suck it all up and go through with it.

2007-12-04T04:28:00.001+08:00

ah, finally, i can post. blogger took up 2 minutes of my life just to load this page. hmm, quite long since i last posted. happy to say that i'm finally having my holidays now. done with animation, hope i can at least pass it so i won't have to do it again next year.

oh, since i'm touching on that, let me tell you what happened on my last day in class. in fact, i'll list down all the things that screwed me over.

1. entered class, found out that the computer i usually used was being used by another person, so i couldn't take out my files from there yet.

2. tried to get the first season of "Heroes" from shuxian, but my laptop took forever to detect her hard drive.

3. decided to just go ahead and put in what i had in my laptop inside my CD first, then wait for the girl to get out of my seat so i could take out my files from the computer.

4. jem pressed the eject button on my laptop, effectively causing it to hang and making me have to restart my laptop and pray that the CD isn't closed yet. thankfully it wasn't, and i could still put my other files in. don't worry jem, i still hate you forever :P

5. got my files from the computer, but had to go down to the lecture room because the lecturers were already waiting for us all.

6. reached the lecture theater, decided to put everything into my CD. halfway through, my battery went flat.

7. went around the whole place looking for a socket, before finding one all the way in front next to the teacher's table and embarrassing myself in front of everyone when i took my charger and laptop in front. thank God not everyone was there yet so they weren't just waiting for me, and also that i was shameless enough not to let it bother me.

8. finally done with the CD, but then realised i lost my CD cover, so i had to embarrass myself going all over the place trying to find it.

9. gave up looking for it after like, 10-20 minutes. took a piece of paper and wrapped my CD and gave it up to the lecturer. he commented something about the paper showing my attitude towards my work. ah heck, i just need to pass.

so there, you have it. The List.

attended zhipeng's wedding yesterday, as in, monday. so nice. haha, although we were seated all the way at a far corner, couldn't really see what was going on in front. oh, we actually had praise and worship during the wedding, how cool is that? haha, then pastor Zhuang came and shared abit, surprised that he didn't give an altar call. haha. after that, they tied the knot, said their vows, and were finally married. haha, so cool. zhipeng is like, one of my idols, as in, i don't worship him, but look up to him. the way he leads his cell group, he isn't afraid to tell you when you are wrong. next time when i lead my own cell, i think i wanna be like him. of course, as a member of jessica's cell, i will also be a very cute and handsome cell group leader. haha, inside joke.

oh, terrence and i took some cool pics together. haha, we imitated zhipeng and tiffany's wedding photos. there was one on the beach where zhipeng jumped up in the air, holding tiffany's hand. another was where they both lie down on the sand, with the sun behind. terrence and i copied those pic. haha, look damn retarded. i'll get weijian to send me the photos, then i'll post it up.

well, i guess this post is enough to cover for all the days i was missing from the blogging world. till next time, cya!

ps. my birthday is coming. i'm free 0n 10th, 12th, and 20th december onwards. anyone wanna ask me out? hint hint. hahaha

2007-11-23T00:32:00.000+08:00

finally can blog. took me like, an hour to load this blogging page. seriously, i need a better desktop AND laptop. not that i use the desktop much anyways.

doing my animation work now. was done with maya at like 9pm+, but it's still rendering, like, 349/500 pics. gonna be a long night. after this i still gotta put it in flash, then animate another thing. cant do it without the maya file.

there's still the journal, but ah heck.

there'a a GL meeting tomorrow. attendance is compulsory, but it clashes with the church prayer meeting! took me a long time before i decided to go the prayer meeting. was actually considering calling jess and telling her i can't make it in time. sigh. God will help. He helped me get in, He'll help me through. you might think, big deal, lots of people got in the GL tryouts, but you should have seen my interview. sigh... well, if they kick me out for not attending, then ah well, at least i won't kill my throat twice in the span of three months. with the breakaway camp coming up right before the GL camp, i'll definitely lose my voice. then i got 1 month to recover, before the Freshmen Orientation Camp in february which lasts 6 days. another good thing if i don't get in is that i'll be able to concentrate on my course's project 1 next year.

357 frames. long way to go. its like, taking 45 seconds to render one frame now, compared to 19 seconds just now. sigh.

i'm tired, but not even half way done with my work. God help me.

good news is, after tomorrow, or today, if you look at it, no more animation (probably) for me!!! unless i fail this module and have to retake it next year. then i'll be really upset. ah well.

2007-11-16T19:22:00.000+08:00

i'm in school at this late hour. screw animation! i hate this module!!! argh!!!! God, help me. i've been staring at the screen for the past few hours and stoning. and the jam and hop is going on now and i don't think i can go. screw this. screw everything. argh!

i could go on and on about how much i hate animation. i didn't sign up for this, i wanted video! screw this. i can't draw, i can't paint, i can't do anything! give me back my video camera! i'll shove this computer down the lecturer's throat. hmm, maybe not alan, ronald, hmm, hard to say.

the whole room is empty except for me and two of my classmates, one of them is watch youtube videos, the other is making some sortta progress with her animation. i have the Flash cd with me, so i can go home and do it all. so what am i doing here? good question. screw this, i'm out.

2007-11-07T02:54:00.000+08:00

hmm, just blogging for fun again. ok, maybe not fun, boredom.

damn late, i wanna sleep. ahaha, but at the same time don't feel like also.

bro bought transformers DVD, watched it yesterday. damn shiok. haha.

this is pure randomness.

i love MCR SO MUCH!!!! kezia won the 98.7fm contest and has 2 free tickets, hope she brings me :)

sigh. Job is so sad. Job, as in, Job (j-oh-b, not job), the guy in the bible. yea, i'm reading his book in the bible now, and good thing i know in the end it's gonna be alright :) oh, did you know that the book of Job talks about dinosaurs? haha, betty told me that long ago, can't remember when. came across the verses by chance a few days ago. haha.

ah well, gonna go off now. cya

2007-11-03T23:43:00.000+08:00

ARGH!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WALAOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS THIS!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO bored.

2007-10-30T00:06:00.001+08:00

back again, after a while. sorry, i was too ~~lazy~~ to come online, let alone blog. hmm, turns out our group got an A for our project. but before you say anything you should look at my lecturer's email:

" Congrats. All of you got an A. Your group's video is the best one in terms of maturity of approach and sureness in execution. Your journal report is almost non-existent though :-) "

laughed when i read the journal bit, cause jake and i were messing around when we were doing the journal. we had things like "a script was written, but none of the actors wanted to rad it, and that sucks." we removed all the "sucks" eventually, but it was damn funny writing it.

sigh, new class now, but i'm still not sure who's in the same class as me. today's was was briefing, so the whole MOI year 1 batch was there. they showed us a few videos, and the last one about the two guys who were part of the "nine old men" in walt disney's team. quite interesting, but it was damn long. toooooo longgg..... i was getting impatient and wriggling around my seat. jasmine said, "people sleeping in their seat, you wriggle." and i replied, "i was wriggling cause i couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep." haha

well, i guess that's all i'm gonna blog about. nothing much happened, except that i missed the MOI halloween party. sigh, haha, ah well, there's next year, right?

ps, MCR IS COMING TO SINGAPORE! I'M SO GONNA BUY THE TICKETS!!!! and it's 11dec, 4 days from my birthday! any sponsors?

2007-10-20T00:44:00.000+08:00

just checked out my timetable. abit "sad-ed", cause i think most of my friends are gonna seperate from me. so sad. i'm like, the only one taking italian and everyone else is japanese, dammit la! seriously, EVERY FREAKING ONE IS NOT TAKING ITALIAN!!! argh! all my close friends are seperated from me. i didn't check everyone's timetable, but only for a few blocks will i get to see some people. dammit man, why'd have to seperate. i don't wanna make new friends! i'm happy with the ones i made now! ARGH!!!

sigh, glad to have got that out. cuurrently working on film project for video fundamentals class. the storyline is nice, but the filming is... hard, to say the least. most of the time was spent arguing about how the camera angle should be like. and for a few nights in a row i reached home past 12am, except on wednesday, when jake and i stayed over at dion's house so we wouldn't have to wake up early and go to kovan (KOVAN!!! who the heck lives in such an ulu area. it's the freaking purple line! purple line=ulu, except for outram park and harbour front.). in the end, morale was quite low, could tell angie was very stressed out over acting. i was the cameraman, so i didn't have to act, except for one scene when i was an extra and just had to walk across a bridge. but there some shots i'm really proud of. one example, the one i had to "act" in. jake took over for awhile as the cameraman for this. the scene starts with s shot of a bridge over a washed out drain, but you can't see the drain, jsut the bridge with me walking across, and after that it pans down and reveals the drain with angie and andrea underneath. so proud of myself for thinking of that shot. haha, sorry, bear with me. jake was telling dion about it, and then i went "ahem, who was the one who thought of that shot?" haha. but jake did msot of the "shot-calling", if you know what i mean. haha, as in, he planned most of the shots. i think overall this whole production, if it comes together smoothly, will be quite rewarding, but then again, who knows?

sigh, feel quite stretched out lately, with school work, cell group, church. the only consolation is that while doing all these, i'm with friends i love. really happy to be with these guys, butas for school, might have to be split up...

i don't wanna split!!!!!!!!!! argh!!!! screw the school!!

sianed.

2007-10-09T03:10:00.000+08:00

damn sian-ed. work due in 12 hours, and i haven't finished. left with propsosal, and explanations for photographs.

just in case you don't know what i'm talking about, i'm supposed to do a project where i first have to come up with a story, draw out the storyboard, then take pictures of it in real life. i got jem to help me out, be the main guy, the stomachache guy. i also helped jake with his photoshoots. was going around wearing my hoodie and a freaking clown mask. his story quite cool. police chase guy, guy escape, police get stomachache. lol, yea, the whole class had to do the story based on a guy getting stomachache and rushing to the toilet.

watched resident evil 3 just now. i won't reveal my source though, heh heh. the movie was, ok i guess. wasn't fantastic. all of a sudden alice has psychic powers to make barriers and control fire and stuff. like the ending cliffhanger though. alice tells the guys at Umbrella Corp that she's coming for them and she's bringing some friends, and then she walks over to alice-clone, who's looking through a glass, and behind the glass is like, a hundred alice-clones still in their water pods, and when the shot ends they begin to move. nice......

sigh. everything looks like it's going fine now, but i can't help but get the feeling that somethings is missing. some feelings are starting to return, but i can still keep them in check. the thing is, whether i want to keep it in check is another thing. never mind me, talking random stuff...

lalalalalalala... my GPA not very good, so sad. haha. my new class is ok, i think, jsut that everyone hasn't really bonded yet, but still sticking with their cliques. i mess the old class. we should have another gathering with leon soon, haha.

cooking instant noodles now. damn hungry. 2nd time i'm eating instant noodles in a week. sian. at least this one is msg free, or so it says.

eye tired, but too hungry to sleep. sigh, think i'll stop here.

2007-10-05T04:46:00.000+08:00

went for the converse warehouse sale yesterday (thursday). haha, went with angie, andrea and wendy. the girls only bought shoes. me, i got a jacket and a pair of shoes. Everlast shoes, $39.90. Kappa jacket, $19.90. haha, quite cheap, isn't it? haha, andrea damn aunty. she was like taking all the shoes out of the boxes, like, 3 pairs i think, and she stuffed them in the plastic bag, tie together, squeeze out all the air, then put in her own bag. damn funny to watch, and she was like narrating everthing she did. found the grey jacket i bought earlier this year for like, $70-80, but it was going at $39.90 i think. sigh. ah wells, that jacket's been "stolen" from me anyways.

supposed to be doing storyboards now. my drawing has returned back to it's 3-year-old boy state, after being briefly transformed by the drawing essentials class. haha, i think it's cause i don't care. i'm stuck now, can't think of the next scene. sigh. well, back to work.

2007-10-01T00:19:00.000+08:00

freaking lost my keys again. dammit, i hate it, everything went wrong at the same time. first, my phone went dead on my bus home, or sometime around there. then, when i reached home, i realised i left my keys at the cafe in arab street. so i couldn't call them. also, i didn't bring my watch, so i had no idea what the time was, didn't even know if it was near 12, although it was 12.06am when i saw my watch on my bed after i got in. also, the doorbell had been screwed since a LOONNGG time ago.

sian ah... haha, my msn personal message now is "i hate myself. ARGH!!!!" and already two people came and ask me what happened. haha, they think i emo. would emo people put "ARGH!!!!"? lol, they will just leave it at "i hate myself." cause they wanna act cool and all. ahah.

man, david is giving me false hope. lemme show you:

sian right? sigh, stood outside the house for like, 15minutes, knocking on the door and all, until right beside me my neighbour opened the window and scared the heck out of me, and asked me if i needed help. haha, and that was it, called my home, and within a minute, i stepped into the house.

THANK GOD! just found out, jess has my keys. PRAISE THE LORD!!! WOOHOO!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

taking it from her on my way to school. woohoo! so relieved, ahaha. david passed it to her, don't know why. if i told you why i took out my keys, you would look at me and feel like punching me.

a few of my cell group members plus weijian were having dinner at arab street. i sat at one end of the table, and weijian sat at the other. then weijian looked at me, took one of those plastic things on the table which had the table nubmer written on it and threw it on the table towards me like he was in a casino, and said, "i bet one thousand dollars." so i took out my keys, threw it on the table and said, "i bet my porsche car."

stupid right? haha, and with that i forgot all about it cause i kept talking. haha.

went to donate blood today. haha, damn funny. when de shun was going for the blood test and the nurse took the glass rod to suck up the blood, i went "ooh! ahh!!! errgh!" as if it was the most painful thing in the world. he just looked at me with that look on his face and turned back. haha. when it was my turn i found out that they don't actually use the glass rod to puncture your skin, but before that they use something that's spring operated to punch a hole in, and when the blood comes out they use the rod to suck it up like how you use a straw to suck up your coke with your finger. then they drop one drip into a blue solution to check for who knows what.

after that, go to another room, they inject the anesthetic, before piercing the giant needle into my vein. doesn't hurt, actually. the first one with the glass rod was the most painful one. it's not painful, but more off irritating, cause the needle goes in so quickly it leaves a bruise, and till now, it still stings. the anesthetic didn't really hurt, maybe cause the needle was very fine, and the large one, i couldn't feel it. haha. my blood was like, damn thick. that's what the nurse said. haha, guess when you're accident prone and tend to bleed more than the average human your body makes up for it by producing better blood. haha, i have no idea what i'm talking about.

hmm, damn bored. haha, think i'm going off now. bye

2007-09-29T21:41:00.000+08:00

wahaha, had a fun, but tiring 2 days.

wednesday

woke up like damn early to go dion's house with angie and gang to discuss about the SA chalet final details. we slacked more than we talked, actually. and all the way to dion's house which is in kovan, which is like a damn secluded a.k.a far place i was carrying this huge-ass bag which carried two days worth of clothes.

i left earlier with the huge-assed bag and carried it all the way to jem's house via bus. deposited my bag at his house (he wasn't home, his brother opened the door and looked shocked that someone was actually standing there), before rushing over to bedok interchange to meet shuxian, and we went to the 401 bus spot, but surprise surprise, it only operates on weekends and public holidays. so we cabbed to east coast park, met up with betty and twins and etc. after waiting for a long while for the guys to come down from the ~~gay bar~~ pool lounge, we went to rent bikes! woot!! so fun!! i wanna cycle again soon! anyone wanna join? haha, anywaaaayyysss, went cycling, super shiok. cycled for two hours, before starting the barbecue. not bad, i would say. haha, i guess it's the company that counts. after everyone finished the drinks and the ice in the styrofoam container had melted, the girls began to compete to see who could stick their hands in there the longest. damn lame. haha. afterwards they stuck their foot in. then, since we were going to ebd up in different classes, i decided to have a "final showdown" with shuxian at the finger guessing game. we both stepped inside the box and kept playing. haha, the loser was the one who stepped out first. we kept playing till our feet couldn't feel the cold. then we decided to settle it with... scissors paper stone. min's idea. haha, yea she was there. extra. lol. and, as always, i won her.

after the barbecue, min, greg, mal and i headed over to jem's house. there we played card games and ate the leftover beehoon from the barbecue before sleeping. his brother damn cute. lol.

thursday

woke up at 8.30, bathed and packed, left jem's house and went over to tampines interchange, where wendy's mom picked me up. inside the van was wendy, her mom, dion, angie, donson and steven, and plus me and all the stuff that they brought for the chalet, you could imagine how packed it was.

reached the chalet at like, 10.30, and eventually, long story short, we only managed to get in at around 1.30 to 3. had alot of fun. haha, played card games and stuff. the organisers decided to call off the games, since no one wanted to play them. waste our time only. haha, so we ended up with alot of unused water bomb bags. so i guess i don't have to tell you what we did. hahaha. damn fun. not everyone played though, only the MOI people minus betty plus donson and steven. steven coward, stay in the kitchen throw, don't dare to come out, and we couldn't throw him, cause we didn't wanna wet the kitchen, although eventually it got wet. my fave part - chasing jake down the street barefooted and hitting him with a water bomb. for such a tall guy, he's amazingly slow. hahaha. but my feet hurt like damn bad after that, cause the road was very rough. haha, no blisters though.

friday

woke up, no one freaking brought toothpaste. so i ended up brushing my teeth without it. 3 times. haha, wanted to get it cleaned as much as possible. cleaned up the chalet. not an easy task, considering it's gigantic with two levels (aloha changi)
and there's only less than 7 people doing it. the rest had left earlier for home/school or were still sleeping. cleaned up, left the place at 10 plus, and went over to tampines mall and slacked around in a group of about 8. end of the day, my jacket ended up with wendy. i'm not sure if i'll ever get it back, actually. she's like in love with it. angie had also took dion's jacket last time and hasn't returned it, which makes the prospect of me getting it back seem more impossible.

like i said, fun but tiring.

finally got the pics of the day out with leon from apple. haha, most are either blur or pixelated, but who cares, kheng li isn't marking it anyways. FINALLY stayed at home today. for the past week i've been "enjoying" my holidays too much. haha, now, i'm at home recuperating.

went out to watch a movie yesterday. i know, i pang seh jeremy and co. when they ask me to go play soccer. i initially wanted to spend these two days at home. but at night wendy and angie in msn ask me to go out with them cause they're sick of being stuck at home, and wendy kept insisting, so, i told them i would go if they could wake me up in time. next day, wendy sms me at 10, and i told her i don't feel like going, and she freaking called me while i was still lying on my bed. when people actually call you up it's kinda hard to say no. haha.

watched chuck and larry with wendy, angie, dion, andrea. i was the only one from another MOI class, the rest of them were in the next class. m18 movie, but got in. muahahaha. the cathay at dhoby ghaut is damn slack, never check one. when we got in i joked with angie, and acted like i was going to start waving my hands and shouting "yes! we got into m18 movie! we're not even 18! woo!" of course no one would be that much of an idiot. not even me. haha.

the movie was good, you guys should watch it, either online, sneak into the the cinema or wait till the vcd comes out, original or otherwise. haha, copyright = right to copy. very funny. the previous adam sandler movie, click, was sortta both sad and funny. this one is just hilarious. i sat at the side, so i could only see wendy's big head beside me, and none of the others, but the both of us were laughing all the way through.

my fave scene was the one near the end. yes, i'm going to, like always, spoil it for you. the chief fireman was at chuck at larry's hearing in court, and he was challenging the judge, then all the other firemen in their unit stood up for them too, and chuck tells the judge, "that's how it is with us firemen. you lock one up, you lock the whole team up. so what's it gonna be?" cut to next scene, everyone's behind bars. hahaha.

in conclusion, watch the damn movie. haha.

sigh, i'm so pathetic. everyone around me is hooking up with one another, and i've been single my whole life. i think it comes to to one of three of these options.

1) it's not my time yet,

2) i'm a loser, or

3) it's not my time, and i'm a loser.

haha, think i'm gonna post the pics apple sent me now. i'm gonna be diff, people post the best pics, i'm gonna post the more unglam ones. haha.

human totem pole

don't ask.me trying to eat apple. if you understand.

now i'm eating adeline, she's posing for the picture, and i have no idea who the retard in the background is.
everyone act cool, i act idiot.

2007-09-24T01:06:00.000+08:00

hmm. blogging cause i have nothing else to do. sleep? that's for mortals.

present mood: sian. some things happened around me, and i got caught up. sigh.

oh, on a lighter note, i finally served in ministry in church today :) i'm in video ministry, and on saturday i helped (ok, looked at people while they) set up cameras. tell you, the camera damn heavy. it's not those kinda lousy cheapskate kind, but it's fullscale, commercial standard quality ones. imagine, the church has 8 of them in expo. i'm not sure how many they have in the jurong west building though. after the set up i went over to cam 7. it's like, the highest point to be in the whole hall. from there i could see the whole of expo hall 8. stood there, looking around. damn cool, being higher than everyone else. haha.

my job during the service was to adjust the iris of 4 of the cameras while another new guy took the other 4. in case you don't know what the iris does, i adjust the lighting of the shots, make it brighter or dimmer. confusing at first, especially when during the praise and worship session, which was right at the start and i had to learn what's the menaing of too bright or too dark quickly. good thing i had help from the pros. haha.

it was damn fun! haha, to think i actually wanted to quit when i found out i had to go for both saturday and sunday services. hahaha. min is in children church. i'm going over to help out next saturday for a children's church event, before rushing down to expo for ministry.

lalalalalala. bored now. bye.

2007-09-19T00:08:00.000+08:00

had a cool dream today.

you know one of those recurring dreams? well mine was something more special, it was more like a miniseries. it starts with me somewhere (the last two dreams i was at my cousin's house, the rest, i can't remember), and i have to look for this portal thingy to take me somewhere which i can't remember. the thing is, i didn't know where it was and it wil only come out by chance. the first time in my cousin's house (which didn't look like her house, but had her in it, and in the dream i sortta accepted that it was her house) it was in a room beside her room. thing is, the door wasn't there in the first place, and when i opened it, it was like that scene from the matrix reloaded, where seraph opens the door into a white corridoor and along them on both sides are hundreds of other doors, and the portal thing is behind one of them. when i actually get to the portal, there are these clues on it that i must solve in order to actually open it. damn confusing, i know, but then again, in dreams there isn't any sense of time. i can't remember what happened after i solved it though. i just have this "ying xiang" that i solved it.

second time, i was looking for the door, but beside the my cousin's room, there weren't any doors, only the doorway to the kitchen. so long story short, i found it in the kitchen cupboard (so i went to the cupboard~ she said don't go to the cupboard~ i say why what's in the cupboard~ ok, totally random, i know. check out "trapped in the cupboard" on youtube, damn funny!) and was halfway through trying to solve it before i woke up. that's the only reason why i remember the dream. haha, so there.

ook, gonna talk about events now. monday, went out with the class for a lunch/movie outing. this time organising it wasn't as hellish as organising jem's birthday outing, not to mention as expensive. haha, shuxian aka sharks iron (shux-ian) helped me with it, and halved the number of people i had to sms for me, and if you want to know, 14 people in total came, and we had to send them different smses three times. the main aim of this outing was seeing leon again after he POP from BMT. one week break only, poor guy. so we ate at hong kong cafe (damn nice :D ) and watched rogue assassin. it's quite a nice show, actually...until the end. and if you guys have ever seen my previous blog posts on movies, then yes, i am gonna spoil it for you.

the whole show was quite ok, about this police guy chasing after another guy (the rogue assassin) because he killed the first guy's partner. turns out, the partner had killed the rogue and assumed his identity just to get to the man who ordered the hit, cause the rogue had killed his wife and daughter. that was a nice twist, but apparently it wasn't enough for the scriptwriter, who spoiled everything by making the first guy the one who sold his partner out. damn retarded, it's like he couldn't think of an ending, and decided to kill off everyone, except, of course, the invincible Jet Li aka Huo Yuan Jia. even Jason Statham aka the Transporter was no match.

ah, gonna stop here.

2007-09-15T02:28:00.000+08:00

cool, it actually works. i don't know why there is another image below my vid, though, but ah well, i'll upload the one i did on sandy's shop now. oh, and i edited the music myself. cool right? haha, audacity so fun to use...

oh, i don't know if its just me, but you have to click on the play button twice. enjoy! ahaha, you must enjoy, cause these are my projects, and this is also the first time i upload vids here...

see jem? i make good on my promises. damn i look good. ahhahahahahahah, shameless.

ps. i dont know why the vid came out like that, the pics were supposed to fade and not suddenly change. ah well, maybe it was too big.

2007-09-15T01:54:00.000+08:00

ok, the block has ended, and now, we proceed on to the holidays. two weeks only, but still holiday.

i'll start from thursday. had the last Fundamentals of Digital Photography class. we presented the work we did over the last week. i must say, i think most of the class did a good job. andreaswas best la, even by khengli's standard he still got an A. thinks he's the only one in this year's MOI cohort. think i did fairly ok. for consultation i threw 374 pics at khengli, he picked 24. haha, good thing i didnt take out any pictures to save space and money. in this case i think money really can buy you a good grade. haha. think i got somewhere around a B-. i don't know, i'm judging from jem's work, he said he got around B+, and the guest lecturer was praising him. the guest only said that i started strong, with good pics, but at the end it seemed to die down. damn. haha, but still, thanks sandy! i'll try to burn the file into a disc for you, haha.

ok, friday. another presentation, this time for Digital Media Fundamentals. again, andreas' clip was very nice. imagine, for one scene he blended in 6 different images/videos. i think mine wasn't all that bad. alan rudge didn'tsay anything though, didn't comment. don't know if that's good or bad. sigh. but i feel sorry for that woman who was in the clip that some of us used. i turned her into a ghost, jill blew her up 3 times consecutively, and sharks-iron made her hair look like a wig (although i think this one wasn't intentional).

hmm, i uploaded the video, not sure if it can be seen. i uploaded this one cos its smaller than sandy's one. i only just remembered you can upload your own videos on blogger now. if it can be seen then i'll upload sandy's one too :)

alright, think i'll stop for now. ~fin~

2007-09-06T09:01:00.002+08:00

it's 9am. originally i planned to be in school at 9. now i'm at home blogging. couldn't wake up, so i planned, go school at 10 but then i kept on dragging. my current plan is to leave at 9.30, reach at 11, but we'll see if it works out.

blogging randomly now, haven't updated in the past couple of days...

just realised i have access to min's blog. don't worry, i didn't look at anything, all i did was login and logout, just to see if i can. i won't look unless she allows me, which, i think, is highly impossible. kinda weird, since we know almost all there is to know about each other, and yet she doesn't allow me to view all these personal stuff, hmmmmm, fishy. lol.

out of the 150 photos, only 8 was chosen by khengli. damn sad ah, haha, must reshoot le...

hi-5 is on "zhao an ni hao" now. the hosts are talking in chinese, and charlie (i think, the blond with long hair) was nodding like an idiot, as if she understands. kathleen looked damn blur, haha, and steven, the new guy, looks damn gay with a close up shot. i want tim back!!! well, i don't watch them anymore, so ah well. nathan dress like zhipeng, collar up. haha.

2007-09-02T05:18:00.000+08:00

blogging at 5.20am in the morning. stayed up to pick out 150 pictures from those i took at sandy's store today. no easy task, seeing as i took like, 300 pictures. had to take out the bad ones, the blurry ones, and the downright stupid ones. once i took out a few self-shots in the mirror, there was left those that i wanted, but sadly i had to cut them down to 150. was torn between a few.

oh, in case you didn't know what the heck i was talking about, it's my final assignment for Fundamentals of Digital Photography. take 150 pictures to tell a story with, and out of those 150 choose 10-20 to put together in a slideshow with music. my first two ideas for stories got rejected by kheng li. don't really blame him though, since i myself can see now that it wasn't all that great. but it kinda got my mood down for the day, cause i had sacrificed a few hours of sleep to do it, and fatigue plus self-pity don't make a good combination. so i thought about maybe following my dad to work at the construction site, but scraped the idea. then thought about staying over at james' house for one or two days to take some pictures to tell the story of a krean family fitting in in singapore, but that was again scrapped. apparently his whole family is busy.

got abit discouraged after that. first i had no camera, second i had no subject. but i decided to trust God. don't get me wrong, i still worried, i still got slightly depressed, but i guess somehow or rather God's hand would come in. so i was walking with my cell group towards the coffeeshop after my cell, lo and behold, my eyes landed on sandy. asked her if i could take pictures of her in her store, and she agreed, so that was one problem solved. there was still the camera left, though.

i asked around the cell, but no one had an SLR camera. but jackson somehow managed to convince his friend to lend it to me, so i went home slightly comforted. next day i woke up early and headed over to bugis to meet jackson's friend, and he handed me his camera. let me tell you something first; i've been using the consumer camera all along, meaning it's nothing fancy, just like the normal digital cameras you see around everywhere, just that it had some features that are needed in my module that other cameras didn't have. so here i was, expecting a small camera, but no, the one jackson's friend had was a full-fledged DSLR camera, one of those, big, black, long and large round thing sticking out that lets you adjust the zoom, with capabilities way above its consumer counterpart, and comes with (although i didn't use them) an external flash and fish eye lens, the por-fash-er-nal kind, of camera! praise God! if you look at it carefully, you can tell that God is never early nor late, but always just in time, whenever you need Him the most. needless to say, i had fun with the camera.

min came over to help me out to, by pretending to be a customer so that i could take pictures of her without worrying whether the customer would be scared off or not. oh, i have some pictured of her which she might not like me to possess, one in particular making her look like she's been drunk for 20 years straight, but i'm a nice friend, i won't post it up, but post this picture instead. i will however, keep as many copies of that picture as i humanly and technologically can, in my laptop, my desktop, my thumb drive, my phone memory card, my brother's phone memory card, the digital camera's memory card, the external hard drive, etc, etc, just in case.

the picture in the middle is of sandy and i. she's the owner of the store. kudos to her for letting me take "some" pictures of her in her store. much appreciated :)

and guys, seriously, i'm not cheaply advertising her store, but it sells VERY VERY nice clothes, especially the jumpers. go check out her store site: http://www.sanstreet.com.sg

her shop was also featured in U-weekly, where JJ Lin aka my brother (lin jun jie, lin jun yu, get it? oh, in case you don't know, that's how my name is spelled in chinese) got himself a shirt and a cap, i think. it's the issure with karen mok on the cover, just flip around and you'll find it. i bought a top from the store :)

alright, gonna run now, prepare to go for service, no sleep for me. cya.

2007-08-30T07:36:00.000+08:00

right now i'm blogging at downtown east. for a normal polytechnic student, this might not be much of a shock, as most schools are already having their holidays. i, however, do not come from a normal polytechnic school. i'm still in the middle of a new block, learning two modules. then why am i here at a chalet while i still have school? i don't know, impulse, i guess. just sortta last minute "chap in" with my cell group mates.

best friend's here too, and she's like the only girl. well, she gets her own bed, so i don't see her complaining. i got my own bed too, because i had to stay up and complete my assignment (fell asleep halfway not having done anything, woke up, and finished it in an hour. guess my mind thinks clearer with rest). this place rocks man, it's damn big. i would upload a pic but my phone doesn't like my computer, refuses to send the picture via bluetooth. so let me describe it.

there are two super single beds put side by side, and two other bed's that roll out from under, one from each side. so basically this equals to enough space for 5 people to sleep comfortably. well, at least i did, with the bed to myself.

8am, think i'm leaving for school soon. cya.

2007-08-27T23:09:00.000+08:00

hmm, i'm blogging from the desktop even though my laptop is on just like, 4m away from me. reason why i'm blogging here, because i saw something interesting on this computer. my bro got his hands on an age-character calculation thingy, and guess what? it's not online, but in microsoft excel! haha, damn cool, i tried it, quite accurate. i tried trwo other people i know, including bestfriend. wah, min's one is DAMN accurate. there's even a "!" beside the "loves travelling" decription. haha, wonder who came up with this thing, they had to survey quite alot of people. 365, in fact, maybe 366, multiplied by the different genders, ages, races, etc. those people either are damn professional, or have no life.. without further ado, i present to you my character according to that calculation.

2007-08-22T03:01:00.000+08:00

hmm, if by update, bestfriend ~~mins~~ means update the blog, then i think she's abit blog-deprived at the moment. i just updated like, 1 day before her tag. actually i posted on practically the same day she tagged, cos i posted at 11+pm. whatever.

anyways, the reason why i'm blogging more often now is... i have nothing else to do. random blogging is quite fun sometimes. you see how far you can go by shooting off random things and before you know it an extremely long post comes out. sometimes i wonder why people even bother to read after seeing how long the posts are.

don't think this will long though, i seriously have nothing to talk about. only reason why i'm online is cause i have an early class and im afraid i can't wake up. i reached home at like, 11 plus, so sleeping early was not an option. sighs. talked to someone online just now, funny how we managed to talk so long, and i didn't even feel anything. i used to get excited just to be able to talk, but now, even though that's like the longest conversation with mininum interruption in ages, i didn't feel much. just felt happy that we're talking again. hmm, still remember how i used to love the smile that would brighten up my day. it still does, but now i'm not gonna let it affect me negatively anymore.

damn tired ah. still got some notes i'm supposed to read but haven't touched. sigh. think i'll stop here.

2007-08-20T23:54:00.000+08:00

hmm, not much to say today. had a class at 9am in the morning, but i ponned it. some people maybe go "what the hell?! JY, the guy who never pon a single day of class, was only late for school not more than 3 times in secondary school, rarely or never ponned CCA or remedial, the JY we all know and love and hate and love to hate, ponned class?! well, welcome to my life.

so early sia. have a feeling this won't be the last time i pon this class, what's more, i live all the way in the west and study all the way in the east, meaning i have to wake up like 6.30 everyday for four weeks after being used to waking up only around 8.45 for a few months. some people say, "sleep in MRT lor, no big deal." go ahead, try sleeping when squeezing on board a train with thousands of other people, then when the crowd starts to thin, you can stand there and hope for people to leave the train so you can take their seats, only to be thwarted by that kiasu aunty who practically shoved her way through. the best that can happen is that when everyone alights at city hall or raffles place, then i can maybe find some seats, but hey, it's only like, what, 15 minutes? go any longer and i'll overshoot bedok.

went for the 3pm class, and those that went for the earlier class said i missed out alot. yeah, well, who cares, i'll catch up sooner or later. Digital Media Fundamentals. it's problem based learning, like RP, except we can't go online to check answers. jem made a comment about panic! at the disco, after which i did something stupid and we both laughed our asses off. it was like, so totally random, it just came to my head s plit second after he mentioned the band. hard to explain what i did, but i can show you if you ask me.

didn't really talk to or look that person in the eye for the whole day, and i don't think that person actually minds. in fact, i think that person feels totally fine about it. hmm, i'm not saying that i'm petty or stuff, but i feel that if someone doesn't like me, i shouldn't force my prescence on them, so if they want to talk and come to me i'll chat them up, but if they don't, well, i guess i'm alright if they're alright. but something interesting i noticed; it's amazing how some people can treat you like you don't exist, but only when you're upset do they ask you what's wrong. kinda weird, isn't it? hmmm...

went for SA meeting after class. damn super duper long. i was seated at one side, XX was seated at the other, and we didn't look at each other either. like i said just now, i'm alright if the other people are alright. only went over to the other side to talk with Raj and gang. we didn't even say bye, or hi, for that matter. ah well, it's time to forget any feelings i've ever had in the past.

met up with bestfriend after that. so so so so so so so so so sorry min, i made her wait for like, 1 hour plus for my meeting to end. she was still nice enough to accompany me to west mall to get a shirt changed. and guess what, there i bought a pair of jeans and a jacket! woots, that's like, 3 items down from the shirt/jeans/jacket/shoe list, although i wouldn't mind having that leather jacket from far east. it's not real leather, but its looks sure kick ass. now maybe i have to get a new belt, or just a buckle, and the rock star look will be complete. muahahaha. oh, some accessories too. haha, it's like a whole new wardrobe makeover. haha, well i guess people around me would say i had it coming. oh, i need new specs! i lost mine... and i also need to know how to style my hair properly. it's like, refusing to do my bidding. not that it ever completely listened, but now, it's like on strike or something. maybe i should wake up 1 hour earlier everyday, bathe, let the hair dry, then start styling, cause my hair will be flat otherwise. or maybe i should train myself to sleep on my belly, face down, hair facing the sky, and not pressed down.

la la la la, la la la la, JY's world....

2007-08-20T00:25:00.000+08:00

no idea what i wanted to post, actually. just came here for the sake of coming here. joyce meyer service was great, i'm gonna live life to fullest, seize the moment, and love people more! haha.

hmm, the guy waaaayyy downstairs is trying to mess around with my mind. trying to make me think i'm not worth much. just like, a few minutes ago. for a while i entertained those thoughts, but then praise God, i remembered, i'm worth the life of the Son of God, i'm worth that much in God's eyes, so all these self-pitying thoughts, i rebuke you! haha, i found that when i blog prayers, and proclaim them, they seem more effective. hmm, well, this will be a prayer-blog then!

God, thanks for everyone, all my friends, even people i don't get along with, thanks for putting me where i am today, with the people i'm with. thanks for all the people with major influences all over my life, like a particular girl whose height i always make fun of. thanks for leading me through so many obstacles to where i am now. thanks for the many obstacles i know will come, but that i also know i will overcome them all with You. truly Lord, greaters is He who is in me than he who is the world. i thank you for all the blessings You poured down over my life, and all the other blessings that will continue to come. Lord, let me not worship worship itself, not worship the blessings, not worship the places of glory you've brought be to, but let me worship You, the Blesser, the Redeemer, the Name above all names. let me out You first in all my life, denying myself but picking up the cross and running after You. i will not be tied down by dark thoughts. i will not be tied down by circumstances. i will not be tied down by the one who only comes to steal, kill and destroy, but got, i will overcome them, because in You i have found strength, because You are my Source. thank You Lord, for everything, truly, thank You, for always being there, even though for the better part of my life i never knew it, but now that i do, i thank You for Your great love. i know that even if the world despises me, even if i have no friends, even if people forsake me, backstab me, lie to me, curse me, persecute me, i will always have a Friend, who will stand by me always, carry me on in times when my legs lose strength, in times when i have no will to carry on, all i have to do is reach out, and You will pull me through. thank you Jesus. today i don't ask for anything, be it need or want, but all i want to do is to thank You, and to praise You. truly Jesus, You are my life. thank you. Amen.

hmm, i think everyone should see this: http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ee73e63418003b47d7d5 it really shows what the true nature of God is like, how He created us to be in a constant relationship with Him, but because of the lures of the world, we have drifted away, causing Him great pain, and how He continually tries to draw us back to Him, but we ourselves don't care, being too caught up by the things of the world, to the point that it overwhelms us and we feel like giving up, but when we realise what's wrong we try to go back to Him, but are pinned down by the world, until He can't take it anymore and steps in to intercede for us, fighting everything we thought we could never overcome, greed, lust, self-mutilation, alcoholism, whatever, and setting us free from bondage. really, if our God is for us, then who can be against us?

hmm, maybe i will have turned off some readers by this point. mabe some of them have skipped all the way to the end, not wanting to hear what i have to say. if you have read all the way, i applaude you, but seriously, it doesn't matter whether you read or not. like i said in the post before, my God is a cool and hip Dude, who reads blogs. so this post, this blog, this blogger, this life, is dedicated to Him, and Him alone. Hallelujah.

2007-08-18T22:47:00.000+08:00

man, just finished the last chocolate from the packet. had one earlier today, and yesterday, the day before... i can't resist chocolates. oh, in case you're wondering, the chocolate i ate comes in one packet, each covered by an aluminium foil, and it't not called hershey's. Mozart Kugeln, from Austria. don't ask me why i have it, but i just came home one day and went ooh, chocolate! there was another pack of another chocolate, inside we cherries dipped in alcohol, and i also was the one to eat the last chocolate. ok, this is entirely random.

Ideation is over! muahaha, away with that dumb module. no more M.O.I. (moaning over ideation)! and Year 1 of MOI (moving images) is almost over, just one more block! woots!

Clap your hands, all ye children (there's a clamour in the whispering tonight)

haha, those are from songs by Anberlin. i was searching through the songs in my player, deciding what to delete, cause rachel added in alot of songs i don't listen to when i lent it to her, bestfriend also. so i delete, delete, delete, delete.. then ooh, Anberlin, maybe i should give it a try, since both gina and jasmine recommended it. not bad, i must say. does anyone have any of their songs? send me please, or lend me the album, except Cities, all the songs in my player are from Cities.

two days ago i stayed up 36 hours straight. ok, not exactly straight, i slept 15 minutes on the train to school and roughly 20 minutes on the way back. stupid Ideation, had to rush all the last minute work. but it was also my fault, i procrastinated till the last moment. haha. but then again, the people who did do the work also stayed up late, so you can see how much work there is. well, at least this module has given us quite alot of time to do stuff. next block the class are 9-12 and 3-6, so if we wanna do something i.e watch a movie, we have like 3 hours, or we have to watch at night. but hey, 4 more weeks and we're free! holidays~~~

i think i'm gonna try to start exercising more often now. went jogging on wednesday with bestfriend and jem. my stamina had never been good. haha, halfway through we detoured up the hill for some hantu-hunting, the only ghost we saw was bestfriend :p

alright, gonna end here, can't think of anything else to say.

oh, i think i'm cured from emo-ness. haha, gonna just avoid the source for the time being...

i would like to bring the attention ofyou beloved readers to some things.

"but i'm broke!!! argh!!!! oh man, God, let manna drop from heaven and provide for my meals, so that i dont have to worry about them and have more to spend on movie ticket."

"well, God has blessed me from all sides with cash! cold hard cash! ok, maybe except for the $300 my mom put in my account =D... total up, $550! woots, and i didn't even work a single day. "

what am i trying to say? my God is a prayer-answering God! truly, "ask, and you shall recieve." now, tell me, how often does it happen to you, that just four days after you proclaim a prayer to your god(s), they will answer you? i'm telling you, this is special grace from a special God! i only just realised that i had posted that 8th august post recently. that's kind of the reason for this post, to give thanks to God :)

wow, how many of you have god(s) that read your blogs? well, mine is sure one hip Dude. i remember a conversation i had with min a looonnnggg time back, about how Jesus will look like when He greets us in Heaven. i told her that maybe He'll be wearing lotsa baggy clothes, with bling-bling all over His body, and go "yo wassup bro, welcome to Heaven. I'm J to the C, Jesus Christ yo." that would be be cool, but somehow i don't think it'll turn out like that. haha.

alright, i gotta get started on my project work. due tomorrow! and i haven't done a large part of it! and i can't delay it anymore, because tomorrow is the last day for this module, and after that it's "bye bye alphie, hello new module"! ah!!!! rush! (ooh, jay chou is playing on my WMP...) alright world, see ya, and thank you God!

p.s. God, i won't mind having a new phone, preferably a SE one, maybe w850i, or cybershot k810i. just asking :)

2007-08-12T21:29:00.000+08:00

ok , short post. i just wanted to testify of God's goodness.

my God is GOOD!!!! God is good, all the time, He put a song of praise, in this heart of mine~~~

ok, so what am i exactly singing about? well, God has blessed me from all sides with cash! cold hard cash! ok, maybe except for the $300 my mom put in my account =D

ok, first up, like i said, my mom just outta the blue deposited $300 into my account, because she thought there was too little left. then last week, i got the top in english award thingy at my old school. i didn't think much of it, all i got was a certificate and $30 Times bookstore voucher. but then just now my mom gave me a red packet. when i saw it i was thinking, hmm, this is either 7 months too late or 6 months too early. but she said it was from my grandma, when she heard about me winning the awards! $200!!! and, nothing exciting, i just got my allowance for the week! haha, total up, $550! woots, and i didn't even work a single day. muahaha... now i guess you should understand why i'm singing like mad.

God is good, all the time!
All the time, God is good!

thank you Lord, for this blessings, especially when i've been so down lately. not to mention i need a whole new wardrobe. shirts, jacket, pants, shoes... head to toe. muahaha, thank you Jesus! Jehovah Jireh, God is my Provider!

well, what can i say, praise the Lord!

2007-08-12T07:37:00.001+08:00

heh, removed my last post. evaluated it, think it might be hurtful to some, so i removed it. don't think anyone saw it, it was posted at 1.38am, and removed 7.35am. think i sometimes do things too rashly. anyways, gonna go off to church now.bye

2007-08-08T20:26:00.000+08:00

gonna just post for the sake of posting because i have nothing to post about which would explain why i'm randomly posting because i have nothing exact or specific to post about so right now i'm gonna just let my fingers do the typing and totally disconnect my brain from my fingers to allow them to roam freely about the keyboard of my laptop so that i can form sentences that makes no sense yet at the same time is understandable and i just realised i haven't used a fullstop or a comma in this long paragraph although i think it can still be grammatically acceptable so i'm just gonna keep going for as long as i can because like i said i have nothing to talk about and i just paused for a long while because i was talking to some people online so here i am back to post some more crap and get this sentence or paragraph or whatever you call it to be as long as possible because i'm bored and have nothing else to do due to the fact that i'm lazy to do my assignments and tomorrow's a holiday and i'll be going out for a picnic to east coast park with w450 and i'm kinda looking forward to it except for the fact that right now i'm broke and have no ability to buy anything except for 3 mounting boards for my assignments.

sian, got bored of being bored. i must say, that is a long sentence.

oh man. 9.23pm. think i'm gonna just bathe and sleep by 10.30. haha. so many movies i wanna watch.

the bourne ultimatum
rush hour 3
harry potter 5

but i'm broke!!! argh!!!! oh man, God, let manna drop from heaven and provide for my meals, so that i dont have to worry about them and have more to spend on movie ticket. in the meantime, i have to occupy myself with my laptop. what i want for my laptop: more games, microsoft office, 2gb ram, nuclear fusion powered battery that can last forever (yea, i can fantasize, can't i?).

i have to really do my homework. just cause there's only one module this block doesn,t i can slack so much. but then again, if you look at it from my angle, if i don't slack now, when else can i slack?

i know, i'm randomly typing stuff. just so bored.

liking someone is so hard. especially when you don't know if that person likes you. i'm not implying anything, so don't jump to conclusions. just saying that from memory. i'm purging some of them so that i won't get so bored. best friend, where you go?

bugging you, is easy because you are buggable.... and bugging you, is the only thing i want to do.... lalalalala, lalalalala, lalalalalalalalala...

oh man just saw i cool ad on tv. three guys were in a tent somewhere in the middle of a mountain, then out of nowhere this guy rappels down a rope in front of the tent and passes them calsberg beer, before detaching himself from the rope, freefalling and opening a parachute. cool! haha.

jem and i are making some sort of "fighting video". right now we choreographed some parts of the fight, although it's still abit incomplete, cause we don't know how the fight started and how it will end.

alright, enough of the randomness. going off. see ya world.

2007-08-07T09:09:00.000+08:00

oh man, festival of praise was so much fun!!!! DELIRIOUS ROCKED!!!!! oh man, i love them! gonna borrow their album from weijian and listen to my heart's content!!! Don Moen, erm, nice, but not exactly my generation's type of music. but he still rocked with the violin! DELIRIOUS!!!!!! WHOOO!!!!!! hahaha, jumped like mad. and all the girls were like going gaga over martin smith, the lead singer. jessica was like "martin smith is mine!" i had to keep reminding her that he was twice her age, and married with 4 kids, to which she look at me from the sides of her eyes, "diao-ing" me.

oh man, all who missed it or couldn't make it, you missed out alot! the whole of the singapore indoor stadium was filled with jumping, screaming people going high over martin smith's singing. too bad, on the second day i had to go back to YISS for a stupid award ceremony, otherwise i would have gone that day too!! argh! the guy sitting on my right was also from City Harvest, and we were moaning together about how we had to miss one day of FOP for stupid long speeches by richard chew and the VIP, mrs forget-and-don't-care-about-her-name. not min though. she was seated right behind me (blame it on my bad luck), and kept pulling my hair, poking me, and taking my phone and playing the games inside to ease her boredom. haha, i said it like she was some kinda tyrant. *AHEM *WINK-WINK* AHEM*

pst. phil pringle's preaching (haha, 4 'P's in a row) was as entertaining as ever. i liked the message he had on the first day, about the tabernacle of david. that one was nice. too bad he didn't take offering message, or he would have used his favourite example, "betty the cow". hahahahaha.

weijian took pic with phil pringle! i'm so jealous!!! i went off earlier with min, yuan mei and clement cause we had free transport in the form of clement's dad. i should have went with weijian la... but nevermind, maybe next year for the next FOP he'll come and i'll be able to, and also maybe even get delirious' autographs =D

i sympathize with pst. zhuang though. when he gave the offering message on the last day he said "if you're writing a cheque please make it payable to City Harvest Church." everyone instantly went "oh..." he was supposed to say "Festival of Praise", since it's not just our church, but there's also another 127 churches taking part. pst. Kong was pointing an accusing finger at him, as though he was angry and wanted to scold him, but he was just kidding. haha, everyone in church just laughed it off.

next year, FOP, Singapore Indoor Stadium, 1st August. i'll be there. muahahahahahaha.

alright, i'll stop about FOP. watched the simpsons yesterday. SPIDER-PIG!!!! haha. watched it at night. before that, left house at 9am and went to school to help out my friend who was doing her project, before going for student ambassador meeting at 3, then at 4 plus helping betty with the touching up of her work (ok, more like watched her do it. too laxy to do anything. haha), before going home at 6, unloading, then leaving for west mall at 9, and watched the 9.20pm show with wj and sharon, and having dinner after the move at mac, before going home around 12. lol, busy huh? i really should cut back on my mac. i ate mac when i was queueing up at the SIS on sunday,then afterwards had dinner at mac that night, then last night had dinner with wj and sharon at mac, and now, guess what, i'm blogging from mac! haha. should cut down le.

hmm, think i'm gonna go play some games for awhile before my batt runs low. ciao.

2007-08-01T23:14:00.000+08:00

hmm, today was a great day! haha, had a great bible study toom learnt loads of things. just one immature guy that got me slightly irritated.

101st post, i need a new skin! haha, don't get me wrong, i love MCR, just that i feel having the same skin for so long, but tired of it. haha.

i'm not supposed to be blogging. i have work due on friday which i haven't really touched, and other people are now frantically rushing through it. so shoot me for not working hard. haha. just can't really get any motivation for doing this, it's like super pointless and uninteresting. ideation is crap! haha.

ooh, i watched just follow law the other day. it's not bad, quite funny. i like the security guard. haha. and the old lady in the movie went on about how she upgraded herself, learning computer and stuff, and she suddenly said she even has a blog, laozhabor.blogspot.com... wah, i laughed like siao man. i checked just now, it really exists! it's the blog of the old actress. she damn cute la. haha. she also linked jack neo, so i checked out his blog. the latest post was about his first album. haha. before that he was saying how his estate organised a durian gathering. he lives in HDB! haha, not that it's bad, but i thoguht someone like him would be in condo or semi-detached or something. haha, i think his neighbours are damn lucky. i wish i was his neighbour. in my course, with him as an aquaintance equals lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of lobang. haha. well, at least i have a friend in J-team. can ask her help me. haha.

think i'm gonna turn in now. tomorrow after cell rush home and do project. this weekend, festival of praise!!! delirious coming to singapore! woots. and pastor phil pringle too! yea! haha, man they rock! this weekend's gonna be good!

2007-07-31T01:23:00.000+08:00

wow, hundredth post! ahaha, yea, i know abit slow la, but who cares. haha

went for deliverance services on saturday and sunday. it was awesome! strong prescence of the Holy Spirit, and many people, including me, delivered from various things. after this "annual spiritual spring cleaning", i feel that the church will be spurred on to do even greater things! woots!

also, after this service, i have decided to minimise my emo-ness. whenever things like what i mentioned in the previous post happen, i will try my best not to get emo so easily. if you see me being anti-social and looking abit sian, it's cause i'm tired. haha.

at this point i would really like to extend my condolencences to jeremy. hang in there, mate, try not to be too upset about it, it was inevitable in the first place, and probably part of God's plans. don't worry, it's not like you won't see her again :)

hmm, feel that i really need some discipline. i have work due tomorrow, but not even started yet, but still here blogging. pro right?

oh man, cell group leader sick. haha, must pray for her. alright, guess i'll stop blogging, and try to start working.

2007-07-28T00:52:00.000+08:00

finally watched transformers on tuesday. yea, i know abit slow, but who cares, i watched it. now i know why everyone's so crazy about bumblebee, although i feel sorry for the guy voicing him. the character appears so often throughout the movie, and is possibly the autobot you sympathize with the most, but yet he only gets two lines in the whole movie, "permission to speak, sir," and "i wish to stay with the boy." sad.

man, the problem's getting out of hand. i know i can just give up on it and be done with the problem entirely, but it's just that it's so hard. best friend, help!!!

you won't even talk to me much, you don't look me in the eye most of the time, i try to help you as much as i can, and yet all i get is one-sentence replies. really hurts. i don't see you doing the same to someone else. why are you so bent on avoiding me?

ah man, didn't wanna get emo. well, welcome to my head. that's what goes on most of the time. the same problem, over and over again. damn it, feel so frustrated sometimes.

i don't really have anything else to say now. that issue got me going emo again.

ARGH!

2007-07-23T00:41:00.000+08:00

man, the past week had been a tiring one. staying back late in school, even staying over at jem's house for one night just so we could reach so school early. i must, say, i'm quite proud of myself. all glory to God for His strength. and for those who prayed for me, thanks alot!

even though i couldnt print out my work in time, the lecturer gave me a grace period. only need to hand it in on monday, so i'm installing my printer to my laptop now. why now, and not earlier? you ask, well the the answer is that i just got my harry potter book! woots. only halfway through though, had to go to cell group and service, but the story so far is fantastic. just wish it wasn't so short, should be like Order of the Phoenix. yea, it may be draggy, but hey, it's THE last book. sad to see the harry potter legend just dying out after so many years of popularity. maybe this was how readers in the past felt about Lord of the Rings, when the last book got published. wonder what the next big series will be. at least harry potter isn't like enid blyton's series, about that bunch of kids. never ending, i tell you. i have some of the books, but never read them. was passed on to me by relatives. great way to get rid of their junk, huh, just dump them to some random sibling with young kids, giving the excuse that it's for their own education, and the parents can save money by spending less on such things.

don't know if there'll be class tomorrow. going anyways. at most i slack at lounge or something. besides, i need to pass my lecturer my work. gonna be in school till 6, and if there's no SA meeting, since nothing is announced, then go home, or slack around. haha. nothing else to say, just ending here. good night.

2007-07-16T15:55:00.000+08:00

it's 4 o'clock now. why's is it significant for me to blog at this time? well, because it's 4PM! wahaha. seriously need to cut back on the late night activities. except if it's for the cell group, which i wouldn't mind :)

oh. i'm not sure if i mentioned this before, but my cell group multiplied! basically it means we got big enough to split up and form a new cell group on our own. i'm under jessica! not that i didn't know that before the names were announced. haha. i wouln't mind being under either jess or zhi peng, just that from the moment my previous cell combined with w376 jess took me under her wing, almost immediately. so, like she said, i'm gonna press in to her life and "seep out" all the annoiting from her. haha. w450. we're called that now. haha, i went from w330 to w376 to w450 in a relatively short time. hmm.

also, bestfriend got into the same cell as me. again, i knew that before the names were announced, seeing that she was the first person i asked jess about when she hinted to me that we were multiplying. so, we're in the same cell all the way! yea! sadly though, weijian stayed with zhi peng. actually he was the only one that i was sad about not being in the same cell as me. didn't tell him that, but i actually had to hold back some tears that day. ah well, it's not like we won't see each other again. late night dinners with wj and sharon is only a sms away! haha. hmm, is it "a sms" or "an sms"? maybe this is the same as "an honoured guest". hmm.

ok, my workload is overflowing now. i have to:
a) do a A2 (can you believe it? A2!!! curse them all!) drawing with the theme "man and anything"
b) do two more drawings on my sketchbook, since the rest are all crap and i ned to boost marks
c) do my kinetic art crap
d) do the final assignment for 3d Art, which i'm making a 1metre dustbin sculpture covered in rubbish, out of wire. sounds easy? it's not.

man, i was supposed to go to school today, but i was just too tired. chiong too much for the past few days, now tired le. and by chiong i don't mean chiong homework. yea.

all Christians reading please pray for me! for strength, for dexterity in fingers when manipulating the wires, for guiding in my hands as i draw, and most of all, for good results in all the above-mentioned work.

gonna go do some praying myself. haha, cya.

2007-07-12T00:28:00.000+08:00

i'm eyeing a new phone. sony ericsson w850i. was thinking about it after i lost my phone and played around with betty's. i love the buttons, so easy to press! best of all, unlike cybershot, no joystick! in my past two phones, the first thing that spoilt was the joystick. can see how rough i am. haha. quite user friendly also, and, it's a slide phone, meaning i can do something else besides twirling the phone when i'm bored :)

i didn't exactly know the name of the phone, until zilah suddenly started recommending me phones in the morning (i asked about what good phones there are in my msn nick). told her i wanted SE, not nokia, she say w850i, checked it out and voila, i knew the name of the phone. if i'm getting it, i'll get black, so won't be mixed up with betty's, although shawn also has the black one -_-

can't get enough of the buttons. haha, i was telling betty about how nice they were too press while i fiddled around with her phone in class.

JY: i like your phones, the keypad very nice
betty: oh, then you take the keypad lor
JY: *stare at her with blank expression*

haha.

decided to do a dustbin for finall assessment in 3d art. at first wanna do it for fun, then lecturer say must be inspired, so i say my inspiration is saving the planet, a la Live Earth. i damn zai right? even before i get "inspired" i know what to do liao. haha. good thing i was the first to say that. after me there were like 3 or 4 people who talked about climate change and global warming. haha.

getting better with drawing essentials, although i'm still not gonna touch it after i get past this module if possible. at least i know i'm not the only bad one in class. there's still people like natalya. well, guess we're in the same art-deprived boat. at first when she said she thinks she is the only person in class whose drawing is crap, i didn't believe her. when i saw her work i was like "woah, ok i believe." of course i didn't tell her that. not very qualified to. haha. so far i'm most satisfied with my "treehouse" in 3d art and the self-portrait in drawing essentials. it actually looks like me! well, from an angle. at least almost everything is in proportion, not too bad. haha.

getting more and more emo nowadays. seriously need to sleep more. but sometimes things happen, or you see things, and you can't help but get emo, even if you woke up after hibernating for 3 months. man, don't understand how it can get to me like this. only person i confided in is, of course, my best friend. some people actually mistaken min and i for a couple. during a drawing essentials exercise outside class, min was nice enough to come down from the lounge to accompany me, and after she left the two lecturer/helpers immediately came over and asked, "you're girlfriend left already ah?" told them is not girlfriend then they reply, "then what, your scandal? (for the uninclined, "scandal" is an inside joke in TP)" i always thought we looked more like siblings, although i have no idea why people always say i'm the younger one even when they don't know our age. haha

on a happier note, i watched die hard 4.0! not sure if i mentioned this before, like i said, lack of sleep. it ROCKS!!! no matter what min or jem say, it rocks!
i--l_ (x_x) _l--i
supposed to be the "rock on" sign. ah well. superb show. i watched one of the earlier ones, can't remember which one, the one in the plaza. that was not bad also. but this one is great! bruce willis was born for the role. or he made the role his own, i don't know. loved the way he laughs after he kills the opponents who give him alot of trouble. like some small kid whose teacher took his side when he complained about another kid. as in, not the way he laugh, but the reason behind him laughing. the co-star was, not that bad, but not as good either :)

tired. dont know why i'm online. ah well. cya

2007-07-11T03:53:00.000+08:00

won't blog for long, gotta rush work. spent the last few hours watching michael jackson videos on youtube. wah, he damn zai man. haha.

today the class celebrated shermin's birthday and leon going into NS. jem and i went to tampines mall early in the morning to buy their presents. went out of my house with 50 bucks, came home bankrupt. sigh.

saw leon with his present hairstyle for probably the last time today. on friday or soon afterwards it's gonna be all gone. wonder how it'll feel like. gonna miss him. such a waste, study for 1 and a half block then have to go NS.

presently using my old nokia 3230. it's my bro's although i used to have the same model. i'm only using it cause he can't bring a camera phone into NS. in the process of retrieving lost contacts. do sms me and tell me who you are to lemme know, k? especially all my sec school mates. damn, i've got too used to sony ericsson phones. now i take ages to send messages. keep hitting the wrong buttons. instead of space become capital letter.

aite, gonna go do my work now. sian.

2007-07-09T17:35:00.000+08:00

lost my phone. CYBERSHOT!!!! argh! sian la...

left it at the bus stop near my house. only realised when i reached the interchange, so i took the bus back again, and found out, it was gone. went home, called my phone, no one picked up, then went to cancel the line. don't know how to tell my parents. they're in genting now, and i don't wanna tell them, later spoil their holidaying mood. wonder what their reaction will be.

the thing i "xing tong" over is not the phone, but all the pictures and the contacts. have to go slowly recover them. sian.

ARGH!!!

now in school, finished with my wire work. made a guy holding a sword. okok la, not that bad looking. think i'm actually improving in my arts and crafts. haha alright, think i'll run for now.

2007-07-06T02:24:00.000+08:00

is there anyone still living and breathing that hasn't watched transformers just 7 days after its release in singapore? damn.. haven't been to the cinema in a long time...

cell group in 17 hours. i have an idea of some of the people who will be with me, but, hey, surprises do happen. wonder what our new cell number would be. w777? haha, if really got that super anoited. haha, hit the jackpot le.

i'm so bored right now...

lalalalalalalalalala...

i must be really bored to be thinking about this, but i wonder what it'll be like to be with someone. kinda pathetic, 16 going on 17, single all the way. haha. like i said. i'm really bored.

so hot now... sian... leon's leaving us soon!!! damned NS... he's still taking his freaking diploma... bunch of stiff-necked imbeciles.

i'm bored. going off now.

2007-07-03T02:23:00.000+08:00

damn. 2am in the morning and i still have to rush assignments. i barely touched my work since the last time posted. still got 8 more drawings of people and many many boxes to draw.

have you heard "the way i are" from timbaland yet? man, another great song. much better than just going "umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh..." , although that is fun to irritate people.

man, i should really start getting my ass down to my work, but i STILL don't have any mood to do. maybe it's because it's drawing. i HATE/DESPISE/ABHOR/RESENT art. what the hell do i have to learn to draw for? if its for storyboards i could hire someone to do it in future. hell, steven spieldberg uses stick figures in his storyboards (or is it george lucas? can't remember)! drawing essentials my ass. it's not even essential. why, of all the choices, do i get both 3D art and DrawEss in the same block? then next block, only one module, Ideation, will be damn slack la. sian. next month got any nice movies meh...

i would like to now take this time to wish yuting a HAPPY 17BIRTHDAY!!!

sian, all so old one. sometimes i wish i would be born earlier. only one of my birthdays has ever been celebrated with friends. even last year my former cell group didn't celebrate for me, maybe cause they forgot. the main problem with it is that my birthday is so freaking late! everytime birthday is holiday -_- i don't ask for much, don't need presents or stuff, but at least some friends to hang with. damn, i'm whining about the same things i did during my last birthday. that was the only one i ever had celebrated with friends. it was a "double whammy", me and zilah together, the dec 15 babies. yea! haha, zilah if you read this, this year must celebrate again! can ask kinah also, the dec 14 girl. haha.

damn fringe keeps irritating me. but what can i do, i'm waiting for it to grow out. damn... maybe when i'm in my third year i'll start cutting it shorter and shorter so that when i enter NS everyone won't be so surprised to see my new hair. did you know that after the first 3 months basic training you can leave your hair out, as long as it doesnt touch the collar or your ears? nothing is said about the fringe, so leave it out till it reaches the waist, and we'll have samara (zhen zi) in army uniform, holding gun. the ring will never be the same again. haha.

well, guess i'm gonna go finally get a start on my work. i'm outta here.

Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I are?)
I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are

kinky lyrics, aren't they? thats why i love it. hahaha

won't blog much. i have to draw 30+ boxes from 3 different perspectives and 10 drawings of people with the topic on mood. AND i saw the harry potter 4 vcd which most probably my bro bought, so i will be watching that, and suffering late into the night. good news, no school tomorrow, since its a monday. bad news, SA called for a meeting at 6 tomorrow, so i can't go celebrate yu ting's birthday. sian.

i freaking lost my wallet 2 nights ago. left it on the bus. next day need to take cab to school since APEL started at 9 and i woke up at 8.13. $17.50! but i used my parent's money so, ah well. after APEL went to tampines mall with half the class to have breakfast at mac and walk around. then in the end left me, betty and jem to roam the place. betty was meting her friend dina (i think) to go swimming, so jem and i accompanied them to the swimming pool, not because we are perverts but because we had nothing to do and hey, we could watch their bags so they'd have free "lockers". turns out, we reached the swimming complex a half hour after it closed for the day due to some reasons best known to themselves, so we ended up slacking at mac again until it was time to go for church. jem tagged along and the four of us went to expo together. when we arrived, betty and dina went to sit with their cell groups, and i called my members to find out i'm supposed to book 15 seats for everyone when it was already less than an hour before service starts. got the worst seats (choir side sloped, only can see from the side) and waited for everyone. turns out they were still at bukit batok. held the seats for as long as could before i had to give them up. imagine, service started and one whole row was empty save for jem and i. after that the others went and got other seats. such a waste la, with two of us only we could have got much much much much much much much much much better seats. come late also can late until like that one. but nevermind, i'm nice, i forgive them.

after service, went plaza sing for dinner, then go home. haha. turns out someone found my wallet and returned it to my home with everything still inside. praise the Lord for honest people who bother enough to deliver my wallet up to my doorstep instead of dumping them at the mrt control station's lost and found.

gonna go now. harry potter is calling out to me, however crappy the movie is compared to the book.

2007-06-27T00:56:00.000+08:00

had our first drawing essentials class today, and what can i say, my drawing is crap. when the lecturer saw my second sketch, he said, and i quote, "what the hell is this?" hahaha. gives you an idea of how bad it is. the day before we had 3D art fundamentals, where we were asked to do two sculptures out of clay, the first one doing it blindfolded. i have to say, the one i did blindfolded is kinda cute. haha. second one was a complete failure, but still slightly cute :) gonna post pics of my "masterpieces" later on.

can't get enough of listening to sweet child o' mine by guns n' roses. i know it's damn old, but hey, it's a classic, it never gets old. irritated the heck out of adeline, kept singing the song, and in the end i managed to get the song stuck in her head. i rule.

went to the coffeeshop near bukit batok inter with sharon and wj for dinner. had quite a good time hanging out with them. after dinner we walked around west mall, and i freaking lost my sketchbook. on the very day i bought it! argh! went around the whole of west mall looking for it, tracing my steps from the arcade at the fifth floor, to a shop at the second floor, to the sale area outside west mall, before going back to the converse shop where i finally found it. thank God. haha.

i realised only recently how good God is to me. He doesn't really let bad things happen to me. i'll name a few examples.

i missed the dateline to enroll into TP, but i went down and managed to register myself personally.

the other day i left my earpiece in a cab i shared with yuan mei , rachel and wj. wj got off first, then rachel and me. i only realised it later and called yuan mei when she just stepped out of the cab. she chased after it and recovered it for me. the day she returned it to me, i left my phone at mos burger in west mall. i didn't realise it till i was at expo hall 1, like an hour's journey from there. i freaked out, naturally. but turns out someone had took the phone when he saw i left it there and passed it to me when he reached expo. apparently the girls in my cell group saw the phone there, and they told him not to let me know and let me panic first. i have a suspicion as to who was the one who suggested this, and i'm guessing her name consist of two same words, starting with "m", ending with "n", with an "i" in between those two, and happens to be my best friend. like the saying goes, who needs enemies when you have friends like these? haha

alright, it's time i unravelled my masterpieces. you must be apprehensive of the unmatched quality and infinite skill i possess. i shall show you the clay models first.

cute right? haha like gingerbreadman from shrek.
this was supposed to look like the michelin tires mascot, but it turned out like that -_-

this is a OHP! haha, bring back any memories from sec school days? i drew it from the side so it would be easier, totally 2d. haha.
didn't have time to finish this. halfway through there was a break and of course, breaks are more important than work :pi'm supposed to draw jem, but i only manage to sketch the chair he was sitting on before the lecturer told us to stop and started criticising our work. haha. that's all, have to go do research on some guy named frank stella -_-

2007-06-25T00:46:00.000+08:00

woots! i'm done with all 25 episodes of ghost hunt! yay! haha, way to end the series, that was one heck of a case. didn't think that guy actually had anything in him at all...

well, what's next? my guess would probably be jigoku shoujo, ie. "the girl from hell". saw an ad for it on arts central, and it looked pretty interesting. tried to find it on crunchyroll but guess what, they removed it! argh! and watch from youtube is just retarded, since those idiot-uploaders always cut the episodes into 3 parts. that was the reason i switched to crunchyroll, besides the much faster loading speed.

this is my 91st post. haha, just 9 more and i'll hit three digits. about time too. yuting started her blog around the same time as mine, maybe later by a few days, but already have more than 100. guess i really don't update much...

i'm blogging some random crap now, to let the video load. so please bear with me.

i got tiberium wars on my laptop! wahaha, finally, i'm starting to get more games for that thing. almost got battlefield 2142, but my bro said my laptop didn't have something, can't remember what it was. would have loved to play it though. been a while since i last played a first person shooter. at least my bro says that game is a fps, not too sure though, but ah well.

i really want to watch the movie Hot Fuzz, not sure if anyone else is interested. looked pretty funny in the ad, and it's english! when i saw the ad for the first time at cineleisure i thought i was french or something. just hope it isn't another one of those movies that have ads that disguise it as something else, like Adam's Apples. that one was over the top. when wj and i first saw the ad we laughed our ass off, but when i actually saw that movie, there wasn't anything funny at all.

hmm, done with it. haha. looking forward to the next anime. i'll finally be able to do something on the train besides listening to radio. but i'll miss my "muttons in the morning" :(

2007-06-22T15:42:00.000+08:00

went for paintball yesterday! wahaha, damn fun, but not that fun when you get hit. haha. i'm proud to say i was the first casualty of the day. first game, my team ran up, with me running along. next thing i knew, i got hit in my arm. first reaction, "God that hurts." but it wasn't nearly as painful as i thought. haha. the bruise doesn't even hurt now. some people didn't get off as lucky though. betty had a shot in the leg that still stung after the whole thing was over, and this (poor) guy got shot in the next twice in quick succession. another guy was shot in the butt, so he stood up, was running back to his home base, and got shot 3 times in the back. ouch.

end of the day, four teams, my team got 2nd. "officially" we got first, but technically, we counted ourselves and we had second. ah well. went over to north point (i think, it's the one next near yishun mrt) to slack. many people left after that and ended up we had 5 people going to far east, because eugene wanted to get new slippers. from the point of leaving the mrt to when i got home, i was super shag. damn tired, walked around with them like a zombie. angie kept saying i "emo in one corner again". haha.

sent angie to the bus stop after that, and found out my dad would be fetching me home, whihc was a good thing since i was wondering how i was going home with 4 dollars in my wallet and -66cents in my card. couldn't even send angie home. haha, she got home safe though, so no worries :p

reached home around 9 plus, didn't even change, not to mention bathe, and lay down on my bed. didn't take me long to fall asleep, and next time i was up, it was 2am. went back to sleep, woke up at 8, went back to sleep, woke up at 9.45, and decided to get up. did the stupid online thing to choose the electives i would be taking for next semester, but gave up at 11 plus because the whole thing lagged alot. went to lie down on my parent's bed, and woke up at 1 plus, did the thing, shut down the com, bathed, slacked, came online, chatted awhile with wj, checked out some articles, and blogged.

it appears that vince mcmahon, the guy in charge of WWE, is dead. i don't believe it, think it's all a scheme to boost ratings. call me unsympathetic or whatever, i don't care. you know how he died? car bomb. HOW UNORIGINAL IS THAT! there was a camera following him the whole time, from him leaving the ring to the him stepping into the limo, and the blast, and it cuts off. and if you look at a picture of the car bomb, i think there's too much pyro anyways. i'll let that slide, since WWE pumps alot of money into pyro for the wrestlers' big entries, and it would be available in the building and if you know some guy who knows some guy who hates mcmahon, it wouldn't be hard to acquire them. but thing is, when someone sees an explotion, they either run, be it toward or from the explosion, or duck. they don't switch off the freakin camera, which could only mean the shot right after it gets cut off gives away the whole thing. to add into all this, "no body was recovered from the explosion". i mean, even the bali bombings, where the suicide bombers stuck explosives to themselves and set it off, had faces of the bombers or random body parts recovered, amongst the rubble in the whole building. i don't think it'll be hard to look for them in the remains of an exploded limo.

anyways, why do i bore you with this? i don't know, just to make a point. i don't really care that much, actually, since i stopped watching wrestling long ago, but i just wanted to voice my opinions. haha. so anyways, i'll be off doing more important things, ie. watch ghost hunt. cya

2007-06-21T06:04:00.000+08:00

didn't sleep a wink. stayed up the whole night, for reasons that are stupid.

firstly, i came home at 4. went out with rachel, wj, and yuan mei to sarah's house (at upper thompsom road!) to celebrate her birthday. not that she'll see this, but, happy birthday!!! haha. went over to her house to meet up with her, before going to the nearby prata house. lemme tell you, that place has some fantastic prata. haha. who wants to go? i'll go with you and at the same time go find sarah. haven't been able to see much of her anyways.

so yea, we had prata, went back to her house (sneakily, since her parents were asleep and she didn't wanna get busted for being out so late), and yuan mei changed into one of sarah's short pants (she was so happy she could fit into them. haha) and we took sarah's dog out for a walk to the playground, where we sat and slacked. sat there till wj remembered he brought along poker cards, and we started playing till 2.48am, before sending sarah home and taking a cab back to bukit batok.

was planning to blog some more, but something just ruined my mood completely. may post pictures next time.

2007-06-20T02:44:00.000+08:00

hmm, the paintball seems to be back up, although i think there'll be like, 10-14 people attending, if we're lucky. gonna find someone i have a grudge with in the SA and give them hell. haha, haven't found someone like that yet. i predict i'll have lots of bruises and aches, but hey, all in the name of fun. just hope no one in the SA has a grudge against me.

went to check out the safety stuff from the site, and guess what, all they give you is a mask and a thin foam chest protector. talk about pain. heh, i might be kind and just aim for people's shoes, but then again, i'm not that good a shot and will probably hit somewhere else instead. muahahahahahahahaha...

can't wait to see everyone again. it's amazing how some people have the ability to make you miss them even though you just saw them recently. haha.

MOI people, could you tell me which design elective you gonna choose? would very much like to know where everyone is going. and while you're at it, tell me which CDS elective you hope to get into also. tried to check jsut now, but my com's being a real pain in the... knee.

going this late into the night is starting to get dull. no one to accompany you. sigh, and i've only got another few days to go this late before school starts, although judging by what happened in the last block, i'm still gonna stay this late, just not as often. haha.

there's no one to talk to. they're either sleeping, gaming or dead. kidding about the last one. yea i know it's lame, i'm bored.

ah heck, think i'm gonna drag my lazy...knee to my bed now.

2007-06-19T01:26:00.000+08:00

celebrated jem's birthday today. original plan:

1)everyone meet at somerset at 5pm and pool the cash, except for jem, who comes at 5.20pm

2)2 or 3 people buy the present while the rest walk around orchard with jem

3)everyone head over to marina south for steamboat

4)surprise jem with cake i bought at steamboat place

and the plan was screwed up, in the end, mainly by:

1)latecomers, and people who couldn't make it at the last minute

2)everyone thought going to marina south was pointless, since we were already in orchard, where places to eat are aplenty

3)me forgetting to get the cake out of the fridge -_-

so, in the end, last minute changes here and there, and we still managed to have a good time. kinda hard not to, when you hang around with us. haha. bought another cake, and ended up going to pepper lunch for dinner, then walking around orchard with no aim in mind, and going home after that. did some crazy things, like trying to throw jem into the foutain, and doing the gatsby commercial, with me as the lead guy. yea i know it's overdone, but fun :)

iiiiiiii.... can give you gaaaaaaaaaaaaaatssssssssssbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

not gonna blog much, just let the pics do the talking.

interesting card, isn't it? it's pieces of cardboard with messages on the back, strung together on a stick, as in, a literal stick, from a tree. haha. all credit goes to betty.

if you're wondering, yes, the two in front are twins. gina and germaine.

2007-06-18T02:55:00.000+08:00

got hooked unto another anime, ghost hunt. fortunately, im doing ok with speeding through this manga (knew about it earlier today/yesterday, and currently done with 17 episodes) and the series end at 20 something.

you guys should watch it, it's nice. it's about this girl who through a series of events end up working part time for a guy who owns a ghost hunting business, where clients with problems with the supernatural come knocking. the anime is shown on a case by case basis, as in one case takes 2 to 4 episodes to solve, so you can jump cases without missing anything. no point in doing that though. haha.

the only thing that carries throughout the whole of the 20plus episodes is the crush girl has for the guy, which is funny to watch. the girl started out by hating the guy's guts, but by the end of the first case she developed a crush on him because he was apparent so handsome that he was irresistable. it's quite funny to watch how he completely ignores her at times.

well anyways, enough about the anime. in a little over 12 hours, i'll be setting out together with most of the class to celebrate jem's birthday. belated birthday, to be exact, by 4 days. seriously, i thought planning birthdays weren't this difficult, but now, it's like my eyes have opened. haha. wish everyone would just immediately reply when they see a message asking for their confirmation of attendance instead of looking at it and putting it aside, eventually forgetting about it. i'm not saying everyone does that, heck, i'm not even saying that anyone did that, maybe they just didn't see the message or something, but still, wish they would reply faster. at least most of them bothered to. 1 minute after i sent the first confirmation message 7 people replied, and it was already quite late. our class has many "owls".

i'm bored. then go to sleep, dammit! you might say, but i'm too lazy move my body to my bed. maybe should just sleep here, on the chair.

and get my body aching all over tomorrow? i'll stick with the bed.

gonna see everyone again later :) today will be a good day.

2007-06-14T18:03:00.000+08:00

i have nothing to do right now, absolutely nothing, besides staring at the monitor and random surfing of the net. nothing to occupy me at all.

and i'm loving it.

muahahahahaha! sorry, random outburst. slept at 6am ~~yesterday~~ this morning. why was i still up so late/early? cause i didn't feel like sleeping. haha. just kept surfing the net and stuff. ooh, i finally, after like a year, updated my friendster account. so now i'm no longer in YISS and have the tagline of "15, single and desperate". i didn't change it to 16 or 17, just in case you were wondering. must have been really bored back then when i wrote that.

also, accepted a few new friend requests. surprised when i saw angie's, seeing as i only knew her since the SA camp. some people really do take the initiative.

and why am i boring you out right now with some totally irrelevant posts about nothing, nothing, and absolutely nothing? because my brain isn' really functioning right now. to me this is just another site that i'm surfing, which happens to enable me to do something with my fingers besides clicking.

yaadeeyadeeyadeeyadaaaaaa....

next monday, jem's birthday celebration! even though his birthday is today. which reminds me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEM!!!! thanks alot for not waiting another 6 months for me, jerk. just kidding :)

jem, be honoured. this is the first time i used colour font, albeit it be out of my servere boredom. and you better enjoy monday, or i'm gonna make sure i don't have to organise another outing for your birthday next year, if you know what i mean. heh heh heh...

once again, my fingers are moving by themselves. ok, not by themselves, but they are moved by a series of muscle contractions and slight wrist movements, with the support of the arms that move the fingers over to the keys they are supposed to push down on.

oh, i completed house of the dead 2 with jem two days ago :) spent like, $5 dollars on it. pathetic, i know, but it's such a fun game! addictive. the final boss, took jem and i 2 credits to figure out why we weren't doing any damage to him.

i want my leather jacket from far east! i know it sounds weird, me wanting a leather jacket, but it looks so cool! so "gerard way"-ish. muahahahaha. but it costs like $80. if i bought it would have:

a)emptied my bank account, and
b)been killed by my parents for buying something like that without telling them.

it looks so cool, ask jem, he was there with me. after that as we walked around far east and later plaza sing, whenever we came across leather jackets we were like, "hmm, that one was better."

this is the first time i'm going crazy over a leather jacket. normally i go for sweaters, and i only 2 of them, one of which i've kinda outgrown. (HINT! HINT!) but then again my birthday isn't coming anytime soon. 6 months one day. by then i would have gotten over the craving.

surprised that i can actually blog till this far. normally when i have something to recount, it takes me ages to remember details. goes to show that randomness is the best.

2007-06-09T00:34:00.000+08:00

man... came back from a tough two days of DES student ambassador training. tiring and stress. now i know why the cca has a 80% drop-out rate. let me give you a brief idea of what the camp was like.

on the first day, sometime in the afternoon they got some graduate who was from SA to come back and give us some "random tekang", meaning he came back for the purpose of stressing us out through interview. imagine that. and second day, which i just returned home from 40 minutes ago,there was an activity where we had to plan out simulated events like CCN day and stuff in 10 to 15 minutes. the worse was the last one.

our group had 6 people, and we were given the task of planning parent's night for about 400-500 people. in the first few minutes of planning, they got four of us to go out of the room, leaving the other 2 to plan. and every few minutes they alternate us, one go in, on come out. and the stressful part is when the new person comes in, the one still there had to explain to him/her what was planned so far, and by the time we finish we only have like literally 1 minute to get down to planning before they switch us. and we had to come up with a detailed plan within 15 minutes. killer...

but the reason why they made us go through it is because it was exactly what the two people in charge of this year's parent's night went through. by the last hour before the event actually started the venues for the places where the briefing of each course wasn't even confirmed and was continually changing. poor guys.

but this thing ain't all that bad, except for the fact that paintball was cancelled (sigh). i made a few new friends, and together we formed the rah-rah gang in there, shouting while playing games like tongkat. very interesting bunch of people, not to mention funny. the whole thing ended around 9, and the people who were still up for it went for dinner till 10, which would explain why i came home so late.

sigh. i don't wanna sound like some whiny emo kid, but sometimes i feel like i have two different sides. one is the happy, joking, always smiling one, and the other is the moody kind, making me inflict pain on myself just for the fun of it. don't panic, i'm not emo or suicidal, all i do is either dig my nails into my skin or start punching walls, nothing harmful like slashing my wrists. i know where's the limit. but sometimes some things can really tick me off, and it's always the same thing. may not be the same person(s), but it's the same thing. hate it.

ah well, will have to live with it.

2007-06-06T02:25:00.001+08:00

went to watch pirates today with my class mates at vivo.it was great, no matter what people say.abit confusing, withthis person betraying that person, that person in turn betraying another person, who found out and turned the table on that person, stuff like that. also, the part where calypso was released from her human form into her goddess form was kinda lame, with her becoming gigantic and talking with that deep, giant-y voice. but besides that, awesome movie. i suggested to the others to stay till the credits end for the final scene, to see if maybe it would preview the next movie, if there was one. but turns out, the ending scene was stupid, as in, it didn't say much.

spoilers ahead, this is for those who missed the last part. the movie ended with will turner taking over davy jones' place as captain of the flying dutchman, and was thus forced to ferry dead souls from one world to the other forever, and could only come to surface once every ten years for a day. as you know, the movie had will and elizabeth "ensuring the survival of the human race" at the end. the scene after the credits shows elizabeth after ten years going to a shore with her son (presumably 10 years old, otherwise it wouldn't be will's), and the flying dutchman bursts out from the sea, with will turner on it. thats it. after that the people seating beside me were looking at me and going "that's it? we sat through the credits for that? who was the one who suggested this?"

after the movie, we slacked around vivo, and after jill and her friend left us, we went to food republic for dinner, i think, where clinton left us. afterwards we slacked around vivo some more, where i tormented betty with the big red ball story. good thing none of the others knew how it ended, as they didn't have the patience to listen to the whole thing. after that, betty and i left, and the rest probably slacked around in toys 'r us.

2.50 now. i'm supposed to be sleeping since long ago, but alas, the draw of need for speed carbon was to great for me to bear. so i guess i'll end now and maybe get some much needed rest.

2007-06-03T23:51:00.000+08:00

my blog is a year old!!! woooooooohoooooo!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! and in about 20 more posts, it's gonna hit one hundred! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I ROCK!!!!

back from 4 straight days of EmeRge! 07, and it's been SUPER SHIOK!!! WOOOOOT!!!! very high now, haha, haven't shouted like that since Design Orientation Camp. the songs this year are fantastic, the praise songs really gets you off your feet and jumping, and the worship songs are really close to heart.

breakaway~~ i'm living for You!

in the past four days, people such as Tank and Liu Ge Hong (i think that's how his name is spelt) performed for us. F.I.R would have too, but the adminstrative stuff couldn't be settled in time, so they didn't perform, although Fei 'er came to visit. sun was there too, but she didn't sing. guess she just came back for a break and to enjoy the event. and the Ge Hong guy actually proposed to Vivi Wang (Miss, Taipei or Taiwan 1999) onstage while performing, serenading her with a song. i don't normally say this but, so sweet... haha.

great four days, great message, great praise and worship, great performances, and most of all, great God.

oh, p.s., TP/RP cluster got 2nd place for parade of schools!!! FYI for the benefit of those who don't know what POS is, it's where school perform cheerleading stuff, like throwing people into the air and stuff, shouting out cheers, although this is definitely much more entertaining than a row of pretty things shouting and waving pom-poms. it's much more energetic, and TP/RP's performance was like something right out of the movie Stomp the Yard. reeeaaallllyyy cool.

we lost out to the NTU cluster for POS. and overall for the whole of the EmeRge 07 competitions, TP/RP came in fourth, right after (-_-) NTU, and SIM/SMU came in 2nd, with JC/CI leading the pack. we were so close to being top three. nevermind, will try again next year, and i'm gonna join POS also :)

turns out i'm not gonna go for the student ambassador camp tomorrow after all. times weren't confirmed, so they'll tell us tomorrow. well, at least i have one day to rest after 4 jam packed ones. and we've been told there's gonna be paintball! woots! always wanted to try out one of those.

so i guess that's it from me then. goodbye, cruel world, here's JY signing off forever!

yea right, you're not getting rid of me that easily.

2007-05-29T20:50:00.000+08:00

went to school with betty today for an interview for the Student Ambassadors for design school. abit stressful during the interview itself, asked me questions where i had to decide whether or not i should lie and give a good impression or not. fortunately, i stuck with not lying and still managed to get a good impressions from them, since i'm in, and so is betty. praise God.

after the interview thing we went to the library to get betty's friend, who is not from TP, so i'm wondering what the heck betty did to psycho her into coming all the way there from woodlands. i didn't really interact with her much, if at all.

went down to design canteen for lunch, where another of betty's friend, lydia, joined us. this one i interacted with considerably more, since, a)we met before, and b)she's the crazy one. and also she happens to be the same height as the person who decided to come over to my table at the canteen and accidentally splash my whole face with water from the bottle i gave her for Christmas, and may i say that this friend also happens to be the only friend to accompany me from YI to TP. so, since lydia and this friend from YI happens to be the same height, me, being me, had a field day in making fun of her.

after the lunch they wanted to watch blades of glory at tampines mall, so i went with them. i would much rather had watched shrek 3 or pirates 3, but blades wasn't half bad. quite good, and funny, actually. now i partly know what james was talking about when he said it rocked. haha.

and to the people actually bothering to read this: i haven't watched shrek 3 and pirates 3 yet, hint hint, wink wink.

so came back home, shagged, cause i after hours of tossing around in bed the ngiht before i only managed a few hours sleep.

so sad, the 9 o'clock show ended last night. channel 8 finally came up with something decent and now they're trying to replace the show with another crappy show helmed by young people. channel 8 should stick to what it does best, family-orientated drama serials, instead of trying to mass produce "the next big thing", giving lead roles to lesser actors. i mean no offence to joanne peh (although i mean every offence to the lead guy of the new show), but seriously, compared to the veterans, these young guys suck. think about it, the previous show had so little young "eye candy", most of them are already above 30 and married. i'm not sure if the person playing "ziling" is one of the young guns, but her look suits her childish character. looking at this new show, even the trailers suck! man, i think they're jsut relying on the eye candy factor.

another sad news, carrie chong left 98.7fm!!!! when did this happen?! i wasn't there! so sudden... ok, well, may i haven't been listening to carrie's show, but she's like, one of the lead people in the station! her leaving is like the steve jobs leaving apple. let's hope the station can come up with another person like her, or train one of the other DJs...

well, that's it from me, enough whining. time to slack.

2007-05-27T01:30:00.000+08:00

guess whose back.

haha. haven't been blogging for the past few days. might not seem like much compared to the other times when i really stopped blogging, but this time it's not my fault. the damn internet router had to fail on me. now i'm using the desktop to type. sigh...

remembering the times when i could sign in to blogger without having to type in my pass word and email. for some reason the desktop never seems to be able to remember my used and pass. at least i still get good connection in school.

alright, what have i been up to. ah yes, i'm currently on a five-week break. wait, lemme rephrase that for those of you who did't catch it.

I HAVE NO SCHOOL FOR THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! FREEDOM FROM ASSIGNMENTS!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! CHANCE TO SUAN PEOPLE LIKE MIN AND SHARON AND OTHERS!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! IN YOUR FACE!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

had to get it off my chest. feels better now. anyways.

went to al-azhar to meet up with the former 4e2 classmates on friday. finally seeing edward after such a long time. not many people went though. sharon, yuting, zilah, syazanah, fahmy, kartik, fiez, haziq, kok, ed, wj and james. always a joy to see james, my korean gay partner. bu thten again, he was the gay partner of so many people. if i remember correctly i was number 5 or 6. good times.

ate at al-azhar, before walking over to bukit timah plaza for pool. i played two or three matches. i'm still not very good. sigh. playing with people like greg and leon humiliated me enough to stay away from pool before min forced me to play the other day. min, you still owe me a game of foozball. how about next week? oh wait, I DON'T HAVE SCHOOL NEXT WEEK!!! sorry, had to say that. went to service today. good message, although i had trouble staying awake at some parts. too tired already. worse thing is i was seated at the 5th row from the front, so i'm not sure if pastor saw me. so embarassing. don't know what will happen if he did.

"this boy here is falling asleep while i'm preaching! please, cell group leaders, note down his name, and boy, meet me after service for some counselling." haha, like that'll ever happen. would it?

hmm, now is a time to start planning ahead.

week 1-->EMERGE WEEK!! WOOTS! hope the combined TP and RP school will beat all the other polys and universities!

too lazy to plan any further ahead. good night.

5.11 am in the morning, and why the heck am i still online? i have no idea.

was watching My Chemical Romance interviews just now, maybe that's why. yea, even after so long i'm still crazy over them. to people who think it's just something that will fade away for me, in your face!!!! haha...

the interviews i watched were added on may 16th, which happens to be min's birthday too. see, im just fated to come across it since i looked at them just 4 or 5 days after it was posted. when will MCR ever come to singapore!!! COME!!!!! God please let them come. Amen.

as you can see from above, no work was mentioned. that's because i didn't do any, and that's after me whining that i have so much work to do. heh, at least i don't have to go to school on mondays.

don't know if i mentioned this in the last post, but i got a new wallet! woots. MYUK, from "the wallet shop". not sure about my purchase at first but the more i look at it the more i love it. it happens to have exactly the same outward design as my brother's wallet, just that his is black and mine is brown. screw him for trying to copy me weeks before i got my wallet.

and i also have this packet of van houten chocolates, those little chocolate balls with almond nuts inside them. been wanting to eat it again for so long. last time i ate it was, if i remember correctly, on the way home from genting with wj, sharon and meihui. miss that trip terribly, more for the friends than for the place. freaking rain caused the rides outside to be stopped. but there's a chance for me to go back there again though. betty said she wanted to go overseas for a holiday and seemed interested when i mentioned genting. hope this plan won't fall through though. really want to go back there again with my friends. that'll be like the second time i go on vacation with friends. some other people might have gone many times but ah well, a second time is good enough for me, at least at the moment.

oh, and good luck to kok, and i suppose to edward too (although i don't think he'll be reading this) for your respective exams later this year, and when you guys make it come to TP!!! super far, but super fun!!!

wel, guess that's it. posted longer than i thought i would have in 15 minutes. guess when you have thing to talk about they just shoot out.

2007-05-19T02:33:00.001+08:00

no lessons today, ok, yesterday. the whole school had this Campus Care Network day, where students organise stalls to raise funds for needy students in our school. i was supposed to meet with my friends at 2pm, and i woke up at 1.30. if it was like west mall, i would have made it (my record was 20 minutes, from the time i woke up to the time i reached there). but it was TEMASEK POLY....

by the time i arrived it was 3.30 i think. and my friends were still there. haha. walked around, looked at the stalls, and i only bought one thing: a badge which says "i love to study, but i don't have exams, unlike you." for those of you that i still haven't gloated to about yet, TP Design school has no exams, just assignments. muahaha.

headed down to tampines mall after that. finally bought a new wallet from "the wallet shop". my old converse one, given by wj and james for my birthday, was spoilt. the glue at the coin compartment came off, and all the coins kept dropping out. still gonna keep it though, store it somewhere in my room. i don't really recieve presents on my birthday's from friends.

abit tight on cash nowadays. it's like every week i have something i need to spend on. this week it was min's birthday present. not that i mind, since it only comes once a year, and as long as she's happy, i don't get any bruises (just kidding). hope next week will be better. really gotta treat betty to a meal or something. she bought me the chocolate hello panda and helped me out when i ran out. and also maybe i'll go change a like 5 one-dollar coins and play foozball at the students lounge. so far i've never paid cause i didn't really have the money, so gotta "give back" to my friends. the ComDI projects are really stressing people out. screw them all for coming up with something like that.

and oh, just in case you're wondering, i'm not up at 2.48am rushing projects. heck no, i have saturday, sunday and monday to do that if needed. i'm only up cause i was watching the special extended version of lord of the rings. been wanting to get my hands on them for a long time, and not that she'll see this but kudos to jasmine for lending it to me. managed to only watch the first one so far. think i'm gonna turn in now.

2007-05-17T20:43:00.000+08:00

haven't blogged in a while. hectic over the past few days. let met start with what happened on saturday.

we had an ophix gathering, for both FOW and FOC people. got to know a few people from the camp, but what i was really looking forward to was meeting my old ophix mates from the workshop. quite a few came, compared to the other meetings. we had activites from the FO squeezed into one day, station games and all that, and also a final clash. although my group lost the final clash, we won overall. muahahaha.

sunday after service i went to cineleisure at orchard to meet with my group mates to discuss our project, but ended up slacking more than working. haha.

rest of the week, school work. haha. today we didn't have class though. went to school at 9am (remember, it's in tampines, and to a batok guy like me, that means waking up way early).

nothing much to blog about. why? cause i didn't get much sleep over the past 2 weeks, so i can't remember much. haha. anyways, got to go now. mom wants my laptop to watch her stupid korean drama.

2007-05-10T02:08:00.000+08:00

just watched the trailer for both "harry potter and the order of the phoenix" and "pirates of the caribbean: at world's end". i must say, these two movies are the ones to look out for. coming out july 12 and may 24 respectively, i must say that if the movies do the trailers justice, then we're gonna be in for one heck of a show. okay, maybe two hecks of two shows.

personally, i'm looking forward to POTC:AWE more than HP5, after seeing how the previous movies did. also, this will probably be the last POTC:AWE movie, so i'm hoping they will end it with a big bang and not like most other trilogies that end small.

go watch the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PetrAmq9fcw

i really liked two parts of the trailer, one at 1.51 where orlando asks keira on a ship infested with enemies they're trying to fight off, "will you marry me?", to which keira replies, "i don't think now is the best time!"

the other part is where the music for the trailer matches the sword fight between johnny and the guy playing davy jones, right after the "will you marry me" part. super cool. it's like their swords clash at a constant rate, like 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4. cant describe it, so GO WATCH OR I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN FOR MAKING ME POST THE LINK FOR NO REASON!

suddenly have the urge to watch POTC 1 and 2, but then again it's 2.30 and i still have an assignment to complete, so, some other time then.

2007-05-06T13:04:00.000+08:00

been quite busy lately. being a design school student in tp, it generally means i don't get any free time. they just flood us with assignments. only upside is no exams, ever.

right now i'm supposed to do a portfolio on a design icon (i chose spiderman, muahahaha), but i'm just slacking in front of the com now, waiting for my parents to come home with breakfast, and it's like, what, 1.07pm?

i made a spiderman collage the other day, put together some pictures i found on the net, which i know is illegal, and made it look like a page from a comic book. sad thing is, i didn't save the links i got the pictures from, so if i want to give someone credit for it i have to start looking for the exact same pictures again. sigh...

had to present the collage to the class and lecturer the next day. my printer's screwed up, so i just presented the collage on my laptop and held it up for everyone to see. sad thing is, while the others were presenting, i closed the laptop screen. by the time it was my turn, i flipped over the screen and it had went into hibernating mode, exactly as if it had shut down, and my laptop takes a llooooonnnngggg time to start up, so i was like trying to walk as slowly as i could to the front to buy time for the laptop, but still it refused to speed up, so i put it down on the table in front, turned to the class and talked some crap. super nervous la.

at the end of every presentation the lecturer would give us comments. to me, he said to sort out all the technical problems before presentation. i was nodding to him, but inside i was thinking, "hey, i didn't know that would happen, don't blame me..."

so now for the portfolio thing, i have to do one short story on spiderman, one essay on how stan lee came up with him, an imaginery interview with spiderman, and a fake newspaper article on spiderman. plus for Creative Storytelling i need to do a review on something. gonna watch spiderman tomorrow, soo, what the heck, i'll do the movie.

guess i better get cracking...

2007-05-03T00:09:00.000+08:00

transitlink cheats your money.

you apply for the new ezlink card, pay a $3 deposit. then when your card is ready, they just freeze your old card, no matter the amount inside. then when you get your new card you have to pay another $3 to "unlock" the card. and you can only get a refund of your money in the old card from some stations only. what the freak! like, most people won't even bother to go all the way there for 10 dollars, but when you add it up transitlink must earn like, millions of dollars in total. shit them man. freaking cheaters. just cause they're too stupid to stop people from cheating money out of them during bus rides, doesn't give them the right to cheat back on us. an eye for an eye, the whole world goes blind. asswipes...

sorry for the colourful vocabulary used above. just need to get it off my chest.

so anyways, second day of class today for ComDI, first day of class for CreaSt (Creative Storytelling). CreaSt seems to be a fun course. lecturer said there's gonna be alot of movie screenings and we'll discuss the movie and stuff. also, she asked us to watch more movies, so i wouldn't mind using this as an excuse!

the same girl won't shut up. her voice is getting more irritating each day, with her stupid fake slang and lazy drawl. and her face, can't stand it. looks like a horse with braces. i mean seriously, she looks like a horse cause she always shows her teeth and it protrudes out of her mouth. why are her teeth so obvious? she never shuts her mouth. likes to act clever too. tries to answer every question, although like 60% of her answers are freaking pointless. but she got embarassed in class today. the lecturer asked about iconic people, and she shoots of her mouth, then the lecturer mentioned alfred hitchcock (not sure if i got the spelling right), and she just couldn't stop herself in time and said loudly "who's that?" whole class laughed at her. muahaha, i'm so evil.

TP has this campus crusade for Christ thingy, along with all the other polys and universities in singapore. attended the first meeting today, not bad. kinda like cell group, actually, just that there are different people from different church backgrounds. kinda fun. joined them for dinner afterwards at the coffeeshop opposite the school. had beef lasagne. tasted ok, but then again, i haven't really at lasagne before so i don't know what it's supposed to taste like. my friend said it was crap. haha. went home, the journey was surprisingly fast. maybe cause i fell asleep on the the train. don't remember hearing any stop after bedok, but maybe that's cause i stuffed my ears full of chemical romance. when i woke up, it was buena vista already. i also found the best seat in the train. it's the one right at the side of each carriage, two-seater, and it's blue. the other colours kinda ruin your mood, like the green looks so sickly, and the orange is just plain weird, but blue is soothing.

gonna go sleep now. didn't have much rest yesterday. tata~

2007-05-02T00:05:00.000+08:00

had first day of school yesterday. had "Communicating Design Ideas", otherwise known as ComDI. not bad, got to meet some new people and make new friends. but there's this irritating girl in the class who can't seem to stop voicing out her opinions. whenever the lecturer asks a question she's always trying to answer. it's not a bad thing, but after a while it's like, can you please shut your mouth for five minutes?! when the lecturer asks a question and she doesn't answer, it's pretty obvious to everyone that she doesn't know the answer, so talking too much does have it's disadvantages. also, we were given an assignment (on the first day! what the heck, no mercy...) whereby we have to research icons and find out what makes an icon an icon. and this girl kept asking if she could use anime. i mean, SHUT UP! her voice is so freaking irritating with her fake slang. and she kept asking until in the end the lecturer gave up and just said she could. guess he thought that since this first assignment wouldn't be graded there's no point in continuing to suffer needlessly listening to her irritating voice.

after the class (we were released one and a half hour early to look for icons), my new friends and i had lunch and headed to tampines mall. we didn't really do much though. we just walked around and ended up in the food court thinking of what we should do. my group decided on doing macdonalds and kfc, and i'm not quite sure what the other group did. doesn't matter. haha. so, yeah, we sat there not doing much, and in the end we headed to the arcade for pool. two of the girls left and we played only a while before leaving. i seriously suck at pool. these two guy were like, pros, doing what seemed to be impossible shots for me, although they both lost one game each due to bad luck. white ball went in after the black one. out of us four, i was like the worst. haha.

went to expo today for a carnival for "Family Day". Sun Ho gave us a concert. too bad, i would've been a fan if i could understand chinese well. but CHC still loves Sun, despite the fact that among us there are many english-centred people. Milk showed up too. i don't really know who is he, but after watching him, i know he can dance. haha.

after the concert the cell group went to eat at the carnival booths. we queued for like an hour plus, due to thhe number of people there. some of us gave up and decided to go somewhere else, so we were left with a total of 7 people after friends from other cell groups joined our table. in the end we had too much food and couldn't finish it so it was like a waste of time and resources. the reason why it took so long was that the church gave everyone $15 worth of coupons each to buy food or play games, so many people ended up buying in bulk, thus the long wait for food. some poor people couldn't buy any after queueing for so long because by the time they reached the front the stock was already out. i managed to cut the queue for one stall selling popcorn chicken, fries, and stuff, because my friend who also happens to be in my group at school was already queueing, so i started quite near the front. but due to preparation time and the bulk of orders they have to take i only managed to get our food after an hour or so.

also, since the rest of the cell group left to eat somewhere else, we were left with a mass of unused coupons. we could have exchanged them for ezone tokens had we realised we could like, five minutes earlier. when we went to the exchange stall they had just closed, so the opportunity to get like, a month's worth of free arcade tokens was gone.

cabbed back home with min and her friend justin. total cost was like, $19.60. justin paid me 6, min paid me 5, and since i was the last person in the cab, i gave the driver the rest. heart ached when i gave him the ten dollar note. been spending too much money nowadays. the week i try to start saving i have to pay this much for cab. ah well, Jehovah Jireh, God is my Provider.

now i'm blogging, and i haven't even done my assignment yet. gonna have to rush it after i finish this post, and wake up early to go to tampines mac at 10 to meet with my group and compile what each of us did into one. my guess is we'll probably be done with it quite fast and end up sitting there and chatting until it's time to leave for school. ah well, better get started in the assignment.

2007-04-30T00:48:00.000+08:00

back from my first ophix outing. haha. only four people from the workshop came though, me included. the rest were either GLs or people from the camp.

another big outing to look forward to. may 12. gonna have something like fow/foc again, squeezed into one day, and a mini jam and hop! woots. haha.

just in case you don't know what's jam and hop, it's something like clubbing, without the alcohol or whatever. just music and dancing.

hmm, nothing else to add. was thinking of putting the photos taken just now up, but i look retarded in all of them, so...

ah well, bye.

2007-04-26T20:31:00.000+08:00

finally gonna update. i know i haven't been updating, but, ah well, couldn't be bothered.

so what's new? i got a laptop! woots praise God. haha...

also, i went for another camp, the design school one. not nearly as good as the freshman orientation, but at least i got to know more people from my school. interesting thing that happened there, i lost my towel and ended having to dry myself with a freakin small face towel. well at least it wasn't a hankerchief, so i shouldn't complain. we have like, 400 plus freshies, and schools like business and engineering have 1000 over. but we're probably the rockiest school. haha.

school hasn't started. all the other schools already started by this week, but the design freshies only start next week. starting to get tired of slacking, but it's not like i can go get a job until school starts.

hmm, nothing much to blog about. getting my hair cut tomorrow.

wonder what lessons will be like...

2007-04-12T02:59:00.000+08:00

for the last 3 days, i was practically missing from the online world. seriously, who in this blue world has the energy to come online at night after having to wake up at 6.45am and only reaching home after 9? alright, so i'm back from a TP workshop, and it rocks! cheering is like, so power at TP. gonna describe it to you, whether you want to know it or not :p

Day 1:
reached late due to some accident at the MRT. good thing was i wasn't the latest, although i was late by about half an hour. and also everyone took a super long time to settle down, so, no problem. was assigned to the empire "Ophix", and the sub-empire "Ophten". there were four other empires too, but i don't have to mention them cause they're all unimportant. hope min goes into Ophten too during her camp later today, otherwise i'm gonna get killed when she sees this...

everyone of the freshies in TP were super un-enthu during the first day. our group leaders (GLs) were trying their best, screaming out cheers at the top of their lungs trying to teach us freshies, while we sat there like gong-gong people. somehow they managed to get us to cheer along eventually with voices slightly above our normal talking tones. so we went around the school doing stations games. these games really helped to bond the group throughout the 3 days, along with everything else.so, nothing special happened on the 1st day. oh, and did i mention that the five empires were competing against each other? that's what the station games/cheering were for. so, end of first day, scores revealed, and we won, woots!

Day 2:
reached slightly later this time, like, 20 minutes after the thing started. found my empire and sat down. the whole sports complex hall was filled with voices with GLs from various empires trying to lead their own empire in cheers, but it seemed as though most of the energy that was gathered in the empires the previous day had seeped out or something. people were cheering half-heartedly, some people didn't even cheer. really pitied those GLs. but again, somehow, they managed to get their empires stirred up. also, we learnt the TP mass dance which was SUPER FUN! WOOTS! people just grab a partner of the opposite sex (wink wink :D ) and dance to the music being played. GLs demo-ed it to the freshies once, and it looked very nice when you see how everyone's movement was syncronised. then, when they taught us, one of the GLs from another group just randomly grabbed me and just like that, i had a partner, and she didn't look too bad either :)

one thing i love about the dance is that you get to hold the other person's hand, and i mean hold as in interlock your fingers. so if you managed to get your crush to dance with you, heh heh heh...

also learned the TP school song, which we had to sing along to and do the lyrics in sign language. quite cool, except for the fact that we had so many hand signs to memorise. and there's also the chicky dance! woots! haha, sorry, i'm getting high just thinking about all these things.

so after that we had lunch, then station games again, this time outside school. went all around doing weird things, and this time it was like the wet cement had been poured. people were really starting to get into the spirit, cheering loudly, competing with other empires who was the loudest and stuff. we also had to do a performance item, where the GLs couldn't help us, so every empire was on it's own for the first time. the time we were given to plan and practice was insanely short, but in the end we managed to come through, coming up with a rather decent drama/"stomp" performance. somehow, although i'm super sure our group came up with the idea first and the other empires just copied it off us, since it was the person next to me that suggested the "stomp" idea, most of the other empires did the same thing. maybe they saw us practice. anyways, for the uninformed, "stomp" is an act where you hit various item to produce different sounds, where every sound adds to the whole thing and everything sounds like some well orchestrated concert.

also, there was another mass dance later on. i feel like i kinda wasted a golden opportunity. there was a girl that i had been eyeing since i saw her, and she was alone, looking for a partner. at first i thought she already had one, since there was someone standing behind her. then some other girl asked me to dance with her, so of course i said yes, couldn't exactly reject her. turned around and saw her asking someone else. ARGH!

fast forward to the end of the day, scores were revealed, and we were placed in 2nd place, 4 points behind the first group.

Day 3: by this day, it seemed as though the wet cement that was laid had completely dried up. Ophix was more bonded than ever. when i stepped into the sports complex 20 minutes late again, i could see all the empires cheering in unison. the station games this time was held in the school again. for most of these games, or rather all, it required us to pair up, and having people of both genders in one pair gave extra points. and this time, i managed to the girl i had been eyeing! woohoo! best thing was, these games needed us to get quite close with each other to complete, so, you don't see me complaining! the first task we did, we had to support a bag, like one of those from coffeshops when you order takeaway coffee, filled with water, with only parts of our body above the elbow. we ended up biting on the string and let's just say the string wasn't very long :)

there was one game where the whole sub-empire of about 30 people including the GLs formed a circle, and a strawberry pokey stick was passed around from mouth to mouth, each person taking a tiny bite. i was so disappointed when i didn't get to stand next to the-girl-i-had-my-eye-on (TGIHMEO). consolation was by the time it came near me there was a small commotion when 2 guys had to take the extremely shortened stick from each other. the guy taking it used his tongue, and everyone got so high seeing that they demanded they do it over and over again, so the game didn't continue after that, although we got the points.

after the games, we headed back to the sports complex for lunch, before playing a game called "hunt-gry" (pronounced "hungry"). we were given tasks and had to run about the whole school doing weird (and i mean weird) tasks as an whole empire. up till then, we had been doing these things in our sub-empires so doing it as one whole group was challenging, not to mention that since we were the group with the most freshies, slightly chaotic. somewhere somehow we were doing a task which involved everyone eating from one sandwich. this girl went to buy the sandwich and passed it to me saying "hi, you are 'everyone' right?" and that was how i got stuck doing all the tasks which had the words "everyone" in it, which involved doing pole-dancing on a pillar, kissing a guy (not french, just peck on the cheeks) and other stuff. at least it was fun.

it was really on the 3rd day that i started sort of rising up. started shouting loudly for groups to gather and listen, since the girls didn't have the lung power, and started leading some simple cheers, although the last cheer i led, along with a few other guys, was a super long one, called the "underwear"cheer. i think that's the whole empire's 2nd fave cheer. anyway that's what happens when people get high in TP. it seems like getting high during gone of TP workshops/camps is an easy thing to do. other camps are like, way below standard compared to TP ones. at least for those that i've been to. sec 1 orientation really sucked. pointless tasks without meaning or something to learn from, besides getting down and dirty. so now, i got high, and i am currently paying the price. i lost my voice. when i sing "d0-re-mi" normally, withouh going super low, i have trouble maintaining "re" for more than half a second, and totally cannot hit "mi". worst thing is, i have a choir to attend in less than two days. God help me!

so the activity after "hunt-gry" was "final clash" at the field, where the 5 empires and the sub-comms battle it out it a water bomb fight. once you're hit, even by friendly fire, you're out. objective was to attack the opposing team's "lollipop", i hulla hoop covered by newspapers tied to a bamboo, and make a clean hole through the hoop. our strategy was to make peace with one empire and kill off everyone until we were the only ones left, but ended up we had made peace with two, and we lasted till the end. so facing a tight spot, not knowing who to attack, some guys acted on their own and backstabbed one empire, and someone by chance managed to get the other empire's lollipop, so Ophix won the game. went back to the sports complex, and our final scores were announced. needless to say, Ophix was the champion :)

had a final mass dance. i was looking for TGIHMEO when one of the GLs from my group grabbed me. she then proceeded to drag me all the way across the sports complex till the end of it, and that was when the music began, and i danced with her. still quite fun though. she was one of the GLs i liked, the more quirky ones. of course, i like all the GLs, but some people more than others, mostly those in charge of my sub-empire. end of the day, TGIHMEO was going home, and i didn't have the guts to ask for her number or msn. feel disappointed with myself.

there also happens to be another LJY in my empire, who is also in my course. we're both lim, and her name is jing yuan, same as edward, just different words and pronunciation.

left TP for the mac at the CPF building in tampines for the "traditional" after-workshop/camp party bought our food, sat outside the building in our own empires and ate. learned alot of new games, and saw a different side of GLs they couldn't show while leading us, a side with even more energy needed, which is why they weren't allowed to do it in front of us before. left for home in a cab at 1.15am. $22.35! idiots... had to take it alone since there weren't anyone there who was from BB or anywhere near.

remember when i said the "underwear"cheer was 2nd fave? i'm gonna leave you with the empire's fave and most power cheer. leader verses are in bold, brackets show the action.

Go back jump, go jump go (clap laps, hands, and hands up, x2),

Ophix, Ophix, go go go (same),

I say Ophix you say eh, you say eh, you say eh (clap laps, hands, hands up, clap laps, hands, point hips to left),

I say Ophix you say oh, you say oh, you say oh (same, point hips to right instead),

I say Ophix you sayyyy......

OPHIX SAY AY YAH AY YAH!

AY YAH! x3

We the best ah we the best, we will beat the rest ah.

Shake it to the left,

To the left, to the left, (glide left. and yes, it's the beyonce song)

Shake it to the right,

To the right, to the right, (same, glide right instead)

Oh.......

Smack that, out on the floor, (stmop ground and clap with large arm motion during "smack")

Smack that, give me some more, (same)

Smack that, till you get sore, (same)

Smack that, woah oh oh ohh, (same)

(Clap and stomp once, then open hands while waving)

It's magic...

feel like i'm quite far away from my fellow classmates. only managing to see mei hui occasionally in pastamania or wj in church, and nani while walking along orchard road last week. don't know if it's because there were'nt any outings, or i just wasn;t invited. either way, they probably have their reasons...

on a brighter note, i finally got my laptop! it's a tablet, and the things inside is quite good, and it costs only $2299! woots! hasn't arrived yet, still anticipating it. after i get my hands on it, gonna throw it to my bro, let him do all the technical stuff, install firewalls, get mozilla firefox, etc. after that it'll be MINE! muahahahahaha...

easter service was great. the drama was nice as usual, albeit a little dramatic. but then again, it's a drama, hence the dramatism. 2 parts about the drama i loved. one was when the disciples of Jesus danced and sang along to the teriyaki boys, fast and furious tokyo drift. "i wonder if you know, He has power where He goes..." the whole church was laughing like mad and clapping. also another part was when the guy who acted as satan tripped and almost fell on his face. at first some of the people laughed nervously, not sure if it was intended as part of the play, then slowly the whole church started laughing. think it must have been super embarassing for the guy playing satan. pastor commented on about it afterwards said something like "when i first saw the guy acting as the devil, i thought he looked quite scary, withe the snake hanging around his neck and all, then when he tripped i thought to myself, wow, he's a fumbling fool." maybe God was making fun of satan when he made that guy trip, i don't know. haha. there aren't any coincidences in this world, afterall. read an interesting saying somewhere recently:

" 'coincidence' is when God chooses to remain anonymous." so true, don't you think?

hope to see more of my classmates soon...

hmm... gonna go for TP workshop on the 9th of april. finally feels like i'm leaving behind YISS. abandoning all but one of my friends, entering unchartered ground, kinda feels like the time when i first stepped into YI, if i could only remember what that felt like. ah well.

thinking back, i only truly made friends when i came to 3e2, forging friendships that actually stand a chance against the test of time. eventually, some friendships will fail, as communications break down, but hopefully, with some divine help, at least a handful will follow me into adulthood.

now comes the time when you think back on your secondary school life. some will leave with a heart heavy with regrets, others desperately trying to keep in touch with each other. looking back, i got into quite a few messes myself. one of the more memorable ones would be getting busted by the cops for being out way past our bedtime. making fun of edward's hissing, like "eh go lah, JY, police leh!"

this all wouldn't have happened without the o levels. four years of our lives, the late night "studying". yet ironically, it's the o levels itself that seperates us. true, some of us ended up in the same place, but not many can boast about being able to see our friends almost everyday. min and i made some sort of pact, to meet regularly at mayeb the design school cafe or somewhere to have lunch together. just hope other things won't come in the way. but then again, they always do.

wonder if the cops still have my i/c and phone registration number in their database...

i was about to get slightly pissed off just now, when i surfed a few blogs and found that many of them are like, stuck in a previous century and never moving ahead or something. then i realised, i haven't been updating that often myself. so i shall repent!

these few days have been kinda hectic for me. went out on saturday with winnie, rachel and daniel to orchard, for a supposed cell group outing, but turned out, everyone was either not free, not in singapore or just uncontactable. so ended up, only the 4 of us went. ah well, smaller group equals stronger fellowship, although seeing the same faces not appearing week after week kinda, well, sucks. yea, some probably have good excuses, but others just freaking don't want to come or something, choosing at the last minute to go MIA when they should know that we are responsible for knowing whether they were attending cell group and/or service, putting us in difficult positions. but let's not talk about such depressing stuff. gotta stay positive!

al~ways look on, the bright~er side of your life. da-da, da-da dee da de dum...

so anyways, we got there and had our brunch at this hong kong restaurant in cineleisure, i think. had fish baked rice, same as rachel, daniel had mushroom baked rice and winnie had a maggie noodle thingy, with the meat replaced with an extra egg. (for those of you who might not know, w330 is going on a daniel fast, which means no meat for 21 days, excluding food like fish, seafood, egg, etc. might not seem like alot of work, but when you do it, you realise that without meat, your eating options become very limited. and what's this? the time is 00:13, meaning the final day is over, and i can eat meat again! woohoo!)

gotta go back there some day. their menu had many interesting choices, gonna go back and check it out after being able to eat meat again :) after the brunch, we went to take neoprints. good thing there were only 4 of us, didn't have to get really small photos to split. my memory of what happened after that is vague. walked around, went to other malls, where i got my dark tie for the benni hinn choir, and before we knew it, it was time to go to church. mark conner was the guest speaker. great message. short, but great. for those who missed it, their loss...

after the service, we all went our seperate ways.somehow i managed to be convinced by rachel to go over to her new house to help her unpack and move some furniture, so we went over the block 203 and waited. suddenly, yuting, her mom, and rocky appeared. yuting sat with us for awhile until rachel's dad arrived, and her mom dragged rocky back home with a rope around his neck. time went by and rachel called her dad and found out that she was supposed to be at 202. that girl doesn't even know where she lives :p

so long story short, brought some stuff from the car into the house, moved some cabinets and beds, cleaned up abit and left. think i reached home somewhere at midnight, not that sure.

second day, yesterday, went over to help out again. daniel came over to help too. this time the main objective was more on cleaning up and setting up computer tables. they had alot of computer tables...

so in the end, i reached home around 11pm, legs almost giving out on me. took alot of my remaining strength to get up off the sofa i sat down on and to bathe. came online, saw that my bro had switched the msn to messenger live 8.0. ah well, it's still msn.

think i'm gonna upload some pics. been awhile since i last did that, and also my phone memory needs to be purged.

it's been a long time since i last posted. saying i didn't have time would be lying, so i'll just say that i couldn't be bothered.

anyways, what has happened in my life since i last posted? well, alot, yet nothing much at all, depending on how you see things. just me, going through life, screwing up along the way.

here's one of my more major screw-ups.

the deadline for the online registration for enrollment into TP was 26th march, 5pm. that day, i woke up at 3.30pm. i hadn't settled some of my forms, not everything was accounted for, and by the time i actually completed them it was almost 10pm (yea, i tend to delay in my work). imagine my surprise when min (i asked her to help me do the registration over the phone, since you needed to print the thing and my printer ran out of "gas".) told me that the deadline had been crossed. i actually thought it was around 28th to 31st.

so i did what i'd normally do in such a situation. i freaked out (well, not freaking out freaking out, just in my head, although there were some controlled physical actions. i threw my beloved k800i into the pillow. might not sound like much, but sometimes when i throw stuff on my bed it gets rebounded and hits the solid cupboard or fall off the bed and hit the even more solid floor.) pushed my brother off the com to send an email there, which, as it turned out, didn't get sent to them because i used the wrong subject title. so i prayed, went to bed, and got up the next morning, something i usually don't do these days. i prefer 10 to 13 hour sleeps.

so anyways, got up, did everything i had to do, left home and went to TP, where i got a queue number at the "one-stop service centre", and there i waited, and waited, and waited somemore. second time i had to do something like that, the first being the time i went for a medical checkup. when my number was finally being called, i went up to the counter, explained to me the situation, and they told me i had to write a letter. a letter! coming all the way to TP just to write a letter. but good thing i didn't have to step out of TP, put it into the post box, have it transported to their HQ, and sent back to TP, the woman said she could just help me pass it to the principal personally. so long story short, the principal let me do it, and here i am, a student of Temasek Polytechnic. praise God!

oh, i also went to mad jack's with rachel, wj, kok and yuan mei. caused wj a serious headache, i think, me and my "unbelievable" sense of direction. reached mad jack's 48 minutes after we had planned to meet. the four of us had fish and chips, and kok didn't eat anything, cause he was sick of the food. so after the meal, kok stayed there, wj sent yuan mei home, and i sent rachel home. got to her aunt's house, and there i met annabel, her sis. haven't seen her in awhile.

so we talked, and she was telling me how she got transferred to YI and about all her weird teachers, and for some reason i had no clue who she was talking about. rachel did, though, which proved that they existed. so, went home watched tv, came online and watched prison break season 2 on my com. really pisses me off. i got through 18 episodes, and on the VERY LAST ONE, the show stopped at 1.41 minute. last episode! argh! so now, here i am, with sharon coming online at 2.20am. so i'm gonna sign off and chat with her now. haven' really did that in a long while...

went for "encounter" at riverwalk on wednesday. first time i've ever been to the church's riverwalk office. quite nice, i must say, although both the snacks and drinks vending machine there is severely depleted. guess that's what happens when there's no good food around.

i went with rachel. she was the only other person i knew who was going, so i decided to go with her. "encounter" was good, we started from session 2, prayer all the way, had a short break then had session 3, where we watched this video sermon from a guy who came to our church a long time ago. got to see how Pst Kong looked like years ago. hmm...

anyways, the preacher on the video preached so aggressively, but that was nice, cause he wasn't holding back just because he might offend some people. his style was more of "in-your-face", which is scary at first but actually is quite good. he talked about stepping out, how many people walk towards this "invisible line", but very few actually cross it. nice sermon.

gatecrashed rachel's bible study class, gifts of the Holy Spirit, which is like, 2 levels above my current bible study. the lesson was on faith. thank goodness it was a mass class, otherwise i would immediately stick out. not that it mattered though, according to what rachel said, or as rachel's friend put it, "crash lor."

the lesson was good, taught me some useful things. went to the macdonald's at clementi interchange for dinner afterwards. chatted with rachel for a long time, although it didn't really seem that long. rachel is such a great person to hang with (rachel, don't smile yourself mad). she can talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk, but the things she talk about, far from boring you, is actually quite interesting. haven't chatted so long like that for a while. only really realised the time when i checked my watch and it said eleven. so she called her dad, and we talked somemore until her dad came aand fetched her home, with me taking the bus.

next day, aka thursday, aka yesterday, is a day i HAVE to blog about. this post is dedicated to weijian, the guy who always beat me at pool.

i reached bukit batok inter at 2.45, just as i had planned with rachel. rachel, being rachel, only made at appearance at 3.45. not that i mind, trains up my patience. so we slacked around macdonald's, not knowing exactly what to do, waiting for weijian to freaking reply my sms to his whereabouts and when-will-he-arrive-abouts. so ended up, rachel and i watched "The Pursuit of Happyness" (yes, the title is spelled happYness, not "i". refers to a wall mural on of a daycare centre in the movie). the movie was about the struggles of this guy, played by will smith nonetheless, trying to make ends meet. along the way losing his wife and having to take care of his 5-year-old son, while trying desperately to sell bone scanner machines for a living, which gives "slightly clearer images than x-rays, at double the price". in the meantime, he also had to undergo a stockbroker training internship programme which gives no salary whatsoever, and to make the odds near impossible, 20 interns are trained, out of which only one gets hired.

needless to say, this is hollywood, but considering that it's based on a true story, it's really quite inspiring. after the movie, met up with weijian at kfc, and went over to BTP for pool. this is the part of the post which is dedicated to dear weijian.

i played 3 games with him, and unexpectedly, i won 2! woohoo!! first one, he sank the black 8 ball by mistake. next one, i defeated him by my own "pure talent". yea right. he seems slightly more off-form than usual, though, and i had to admit, it was a close finish.he beat me in the first game by four balls. but then again, when you look at it from my angle, I BEAT WEI JIAN! muahaha...

played a few rounds, yuanmei came, and we headed over to madjacks, where along the way, we found out kok isn't working, so our 30% discount was gone, but lucky for us, weijian knew the person behind the counter (apparently he came very often...), so we got it in the end :)

here's a tip, never get the fish baked rice, or any form of baked rice from madjacks. tasteless and stingy serving of cheese...

nothing really eventful happened after that, except that i missed the first episode of prison break 2... zilah, ask danial to lend me!!!

got home, on com, on msn. found out from rachel what winnie's condition was like. sad. what does a cell group do when their leader is down? lucky for us, she got someone to help fill in for her for the time being, but still, hope and pray she recovers quickly.

didn't go out today. woke up at 2pm (woot!) nothing special happened. ah well, not everyday is eventful.

this may shock you, but i'm now part of a choir.

it's a church thing. a guy called benny hinn is coming to our church soon, so we are preparing a choir to sing with him. if i'm correct, there are more than 1000 members in the choir. hanxiang and david have joined me along with daniel in the guys section. girls consist of winnie, sarah, rachel and yuan mei. i think. so now, i think we gotta learn 40 songs. not sure why we need that many...

other recent events, i watched casino royale, 8 mile and *gasp* step up. it's a surprisingly good and non-sissy-ish movie. the male guy dances hip hop :)

also, went out with wj, zilah and yt yesterday to bugis. did nothing much except walk around, none of us buying anything. after that fiez joined us and we headed for novena after walking around some more. went there, did pretty much the same thing before heading down to food junction for dinner. wj and i had fried fish. at 5.60, it's considerably worth the money, seeing as you can a piece of fried fish longer and roughly as wide as my hand (not including the arm, though, in case you die of shock), you get to choose two add-ons, like spaghetti, fries, coleslaw, fried rice and other stuff. the servings are also generous. at the start of the meal, yt commented that she didn't think someone like me would eat a 5.60 meal. well, this was quite worth it, so i'm contented.

that'll be all for now. still waiting for stupid TP to send the stupid letter to me. people from SP already got theirs, i heard. sigh...
