Good Shit Happens!

Warm and Fuzzy

2010-07-02T17:51:00.000+08:00

Yes, that is how I feel now. A warm sense of comfort and relaxation which seems unrealistic from my current situation, spent a week in Perth prior to my Mid Year Examinations. Don’t get me wrong, the trip to Perth with the seniors from syfc was probably the best decision I’ve made in the month of June. Even though I may have regretted not waiting for the end of year one when I’m actually legal and spend time with pals I recently rarely see since my Flight Handling Test which marks the end of my journey is yfc. And some other minor regrets like not changing enough Australian Currency so that I would splurge more, (which may not be such a negative thought as now I actually have savings, which was diminished prior to the trip due to surprisingly relatively expensive day to day activities.) BUT, I did have an amazing time there, kinda cheers me up when I reminisce about what went on during the week I spent in the land down under.

Now, on to the trip to Perth. Its supposedly a trip to the Pearce airbase an hour’s drive from the city. On to the main purpose for the trip, I did finally get a clearer idea what I would like to pursue as a career, which I’m thankful for in this trip.

Then there are the interesting skills and activities I got the chance to get first hand experience on. For starters, foosball! I’m not as good as Siok or Quek but I improved! Its pretty fun actually, smashing the table around with a plastic ball and sticks. Then there are the friendly people all around, it is a much needed break from the “Mind Your Own Business” attitude Singaporeans have, not to mention the conservativeness as well. Why can’t Singaporeans be more friendly and open minded? Some say its the Asian Pride, I say it’s time to for change. Would not this place be much pleasurable to inhabit when the people who never seem to make eye contact with anyone and for some reason has chains binding their lips accompanied by guy lines pinning down their cheeks be replaced? Be replaced by warm and genuine people who do not stare into blank space, but smile. An ideal worth striving for yet near impossible due to the heavy demands society burdens us.

Now I’m back at home, chapped lips recovering and skin stopped flaking. I think we should just take a break from our city selves and hit the pause button. Chill…It feels good.

While it lasts at least.

Epiloge, for now at least

2010-05-19T21:47:00.002+08:00

Hey guys, I'll be leaving this site on idle from now, well since march I guess. Guess I no longer see the need to blog anymore. Until the tides turn, goodbye for now :)
Its been great having you on board.

Kwan.

Back to school... ...

2010-03-29T22:30:00.000+08:00

Well it's week two of school and I feel like months has passed
already. Wonder this is how I felt everyday back in j1.

At least there's something to feel good about. After head hunting for
the dean so that I can leave school early, skipping some lessons for
my NS medical screening. I mean, if you're going to do something you
don't want to, why not make it less sucky? Haha.

The screening was actually pretty fast! Perhaps it was that I've done
my MAPAS with the fly boys last year. That, I think saved me an hour
or so! And doing math! Haven't I worked enough at school? Haha.

Then The canteen struck me when I walked past it, I remember us 166
dudes eating there After our MAPAS and COMPASS tests. Our second and
third servings of desert!!! Haha, so I decided why not have another
ice kachang. Still tastes as good!

Chill out

2010-03-13T14:30:00.004+08:00

Whoo hoo! Common tests are over and going to lay back at Hen's house with Zg and a chalet to chill out with Secondary school buds on the same day was totally an awesome idea! Its great when chatting with old friends, there's just so much to reminisce on the good o' times. Funny story when Tony mentioned about what I said to him back in Sec 2 camp in the tentage and I'm ABSOLUTELY certain I did not say it! It just ain't me. Also on this fella, who goes by the name of Aaron who was also from mfss, one creepy gay stalker, mfss dudes, watch out, he may be the reincarnation of a certain English teacher back in school, haha!

Also, thanks bev for the motivational talks to cheer me up. Just PLEASE, no bimbotic tone when talking to me or I'll seriously take a cab to your house and give you one big bimbo slap, haha! jkjk :D

Omg, now I'm so awake despite the obvious lack of sleep, in which the way we slept at the chalet is not what I'll say, should really be tiring me out! But I'm not! I just hope I don't suffer a crash later on.

P.S. Pissing Hendry off with cheesy Clay Aiken songs is so much fun! HAHA!

Insolent Son Of A Bitch

2010-03-11T18:53:00.003+08:00

Check this out, just moments ago, I witnessed something utterly insulting! And it happened just right at my house's downstairs. I was just taking a break, looking out the window, then something strange came across my eyes. There's this Malay lady dressed in green as seen from the picture above, she doesn't seem mentally stable from my point of view. Walking in an unnatural manner, side stepping, her hands were stretched out, basically not the walking we're familiar with.

Take a look who's around her and I saw a Malay man in blue, stalking that poor lady, hiding from pillar to pillar as she walked past. Well, that's "normal" to a weird extent, but what was absolutely abnormal was that that fella went close behind the lady and started to imitate her way of walking, staggering exaggeratedly. He was poking fun of her! That son of a bitch!

This went on for a couple of minutes, even got my dad over to overlook them from our window. We came out with a few conclusions, either the man's her son, who got fed up with her madness, OR, he's just one big asshole! Either way, you DON'T do this to people! There's a line between what's funny and what's hurtful and insulting. Especially so if that person is family, this is just wrong, the anger filling up inside me just tempted to shout across "Hey, DICK FACE! Yeah, that's you! Get the fuck away from her pendejo!". But I didn't, my dad asked me not to, apparently there's nothing we can do, yea right! I'd love to make him feel embarrassed and start a fight against one Malay fucker like himself. And another reason I'd be letting him know where I live, not a good idea.

Well, if there's one thing, the least I could do is to bring this to your attention, FUCKERS like this are coming into society, put a fork on them and pin them down!

P.S. If you were wondering why I had the pic, ask the camera lying at home, haha.

I'm Hopping Back In

2010-02-27T22:54:00.005+08:00

Oh! I'm back! Haha! Guess its been quite a couple of months since I last blogged. I reckon lots has happened over the weeks. There has been the undesirable events slapped straight on my face like a certain trip that has been forced upon me which would practically screw up my upcoming March holiday plans. Not to mention troubles with the school management to approve some leaves I had to take, hope they don't cause much trouble when I have to request leave again to return to m'sia for my cousin's wedding!

Then of course there are the good stuff.

Look at them, last I remember they were only three quarters of the height they are now. Growth spurt thanks to puberty, haha! I went back a couple of weeks ago to see them, felt real sense of comfort stepping into the gates I used to frequent for years.

Here's another picture of my NCC Part A'08 cadets all grown up. Somehow I feel kinda attached to them, like a big bro or something though contact with them has certainly gone down over the years. They're still great though! In fact, when I walked past their classrooms that day, I was greeted with a warm welcome, like the entire G/F class people from my Part A that time. Mmmm, feels great :D

Then there were the "Firsts" I experienced there. What kind you may wonder? Its those experiences of first contact with people even though you've already known them for quite some time. You know, the unfamiliar yet all so familiar at the same time.

One would be Bev, whom I've known for quite some time already! In fact, for a couple of years! Think it was sec 3 if I remember correctly but this time was actually the first that I sat down and had a conversation with her, with Alex too, haven't seen her since I graduated. Think I met her during NCC camp when I was sec 4. Wow, those were the times. Oh, and sec 4 NCC camp was the greatest of all NCC camps cause we were in charged for a change, that means total freedom! HAHA!

Then there's Tzuling, didn't talk to her when we were schooling until now. And she shares the same birthday as me! How cool is that! Exactly 365 1/4 days ahead of mine, haha! Hey! There's an ice cream booth behind us in the picture too. Did Mayflower become so awesome to have an ice cream booth in school?! Or was it just a temporary one. Either way, WHY DO IT ONLY AFTER I'VE LEFT! haha

Aye, then there's the trade show experience which was totally wonderful! This was the only time I was actually involved in the airshow! Manning the piper out in the scorching sun is actually pretty fun! Take aside the burning heat, there's sunblock which thankfully Graci brought along to help so its not THAT bad. But the thing is the benefits! Its a joy watching the kids play with the control column, they're like so freaking cute! Oh, not to mention we've like FULL ACCESS DURING THE TRADE SHOW!!! Okay, not FULL, but WONDERFUL nevertheless! Never had I have the chance to just hop into a plane parked there. This is simply the opposite of the previous years that I've been to the airshow as a public guest. No annoying queues, hopping on almost any airplane you want when you ask and walking around with a flight suit is pretty nice! Haha, but really, being able to go through the barricades, that feeling was just LEGENDARY! :D Doubt I'd have my chance to do this again, luckily I think I've made the full use of it, it couldn't have gone any better.

Last but not least, there's the Ratings exams which I failed the first time around but retook just yesterday. Fingers crossed! I better pass cause I actually read the whole book! Well, most of it! I even fucked my studies to study for it and now I'm paying the price by skipping chinese new year house visits to catch up with my homework. Opportunity cost for studying, ANG PAO!!!

Oh, any by the way, PEGASUS ROCKS!!!

A new place

2010-02-13T13:51:00.001+08:00

Hey guys, I've decided to try out wordpress for awhile

Maybe if i like I'd shift over permanently

Cya there!

The Blind Side

2010-01-23T23:51:00.002+08:00

Watched this movie not too long ago back home, "The Blind Side". What I can say is that this is one movie you cannot miss, much like Freedom Writers or even Dead Poet's Society. This is one of which that appeals to me and is pretty mature and serious. Of course, I'm not saying I'm one who only watches slapstick movies.

Inspiring, touching and truly amazing, these are the words to describe this story. What makes this movie even more awesome, is that its based on an actual true story! I mean, wow! I never could have thought what this person Micheal Oher is actually real! Not till I saw the credits which portrayed actual pictures of him and his adopted family and his highlight reel of his life when he got drafted into an NFL team.

What's amazing about this story in my opinion is the family, the Tuohys, who took Oher in. If what was screened in the movie was actually real, the kindness and level of acceptance this family has is truly aspiring. Imagine this, in Singapore's concept, one day your Chinese mom brings home a rugged, tall, intimidating looking Malay man and lives with you. Would you be repelled, even the slightest bit by him? If you said no, be true to yourself and think again, most would, even I admit it. A White family adopting a Black kid and sends him to college! Sure they're rich but the fact that they cared for him so much, to make sure he lives to his full potential is truly amazing, not the willingness to help, but the desire to. Furthermore I can't believe they trust and treats him like their own! The stereotyped Blacks in the states are generally associated to crime and being as far from being civilized as a worm wanting to fly. Its really hard to believe what they did, that's noble.

I have never felt this urge to write, okay technically this ain't writing but you catch my drift, since I lost the urge to blog. Wow.

I'd highly recommend you watch this, perhaps you already did, good for you.

Rain

2010-01-13T16:33:00.003+08:00

Folks, rain and jogging don't mix well, it will result you in sprinting for your life for the nearest shelter even though it isn't very near. That happened earlier when I was jogging, past the up slope near the private housing area along the long stretch of road which leads to either Bishan or Ang Mo Kio. Felt droplets of water tickling my face, hoped that it was just some water from the leaves of the trees, turns out these droplets doubled, tripled and quadrupled! Sprinted all the way to NYJC and waited it out, damn the wait was boring, was deciding whether to give a call to chang or yuxi or simon for an umbrella but decided not to in the end.
Hope I don't get sick, haha!

Oh yes! I'm finally about to finish studying for Aircraft Ratings! Chiong-ed it with Graci yesterday like for practically the whole day. I do NOT want to repeat this shit again, super tedious I'm telling you.

Realized that you're getting wearier and wearier as the days go by this week since school term started for the year? You're not alone, first day after school, first thing I did when I got home was to SLEEP! How did we do it last year? Damn the early school days! Though on the bright side, the new time table is awesome! Not as good as VJ, ending at like 12.30 and latest 2!!! WTF?! But, its still WAY better than last year, no more 5pm days! Whoo hoo :D

Stay strong guys! Holidays will come again as they always do.

Nice quote

2010-01-10T21:58:00.001+08:00

If each day is a gift, I'd like to know where i can return Mondays.

Damn, school is gonna start again, guess life ends tomorrow then.

The year 2009

2009-12-31T00:00:00.003+08:00

Now the 2009 as we know it is about to end, I guess it's time to think of what you've done for the past year. Was time well spent? Positive or negative, it just means whether you should either work on what you're striving at or just dump everything aside and bring on a fresh new plate. To life!

Anticipation

2009-12-30T23:41:00.002+08:00

Yes! My inspiration which has long been lost or faded away just before I got my hands on a keyboard has returned!

Okay, now I would like to share my thoughts on the phenomenon of "Anticipation". What is anticipation anyway? It is simply the thought of hoping something would materialize before your eyes. Basically its a state of mind.

Now you would wonder, so what? Well, its the thing that makes you wonder, "what the fuck"? Its like this, when you long for something so much, craving for it or perhaps even desperate for it. Here comes the part that makes you go "what the fuck"? That is of course, for the negative aspect of anticipation. Once you had it or experienced what you have longed for, something struck your head. This is not what I signed up for! Its nothing close to the expectation bar that has been set by yourself. Perhaps just grazing the bar or out of reach, well, you're fucked.

So what I'm saying is, life's like that. Personally I'd choose to not think of it and be surprised by how much I'm benefited when it comes. This can be relate to perhaps anything in the world! For me, it could be the anticipation of the new Assassin's Creed II for the pc. For something else, it could be the girl next door you've been dying to be with or it could be anything! Anything and everything.

But of course, we can't rule out the positive sides of anticipation, those are awesome too.

The Captivity Of Negativity

2009-12-29T20:10:00.002+08:00

Merry Christmas everyone!

Damn, I've got not much inspiration to write right now, shall do so when I have some, haha!

Take care!

Think I'm Gonna Blog Soon...

2009-12-29T18:35:00.000+08:00

haha!

P6 BBQ

2009-12-12T02:24:00.002+08:00

Wow, just came back from a Pri 6 bbq at Wei Hao's. Nice! I mean other than the food, the company of the rarely seen yet all so familiar and you're comfortable with, reappear! Awesome time! And i learnt to play Mahjong! For the first time I've played it and I think I've got the general idea, but I reckon I'd lose if I played for money. It'll be worse than losing "Tai-Di" with a hand full of cards! haha.

Had some fresh air outside too.

Oh and the sky there was beautiful! Perhaps there was much lesser lighting over that area so the sky was so beautifully lit with stars. Not a usual sight for me, all i see is satellites. haha!

Nice :)

KL

2009-12-09T00:48:00.003+08:00

Hey guys, I'm back and I've kinda made a diary sorta thing with my itouch when i was there. Here it is, hope you enjoy reading it.

Day one,
Woke up on time but wasted time finding my shirt and was forced to
take a cab halfway. That must have been the most regretable 9.60 I've
spent!

T1 was okay, not spectactcular but it has the essential. Booze and
Subway! Their bacon and egg sub Is awesome! What's better is that it's
only 4 bucks! Cheap as compared to the other overpriced food.

Okay airasia is officially the smallest commercial aircraft! There's
only one isle but who cares now that I'm seated.

The ride here wasn't all that bad as I expected though. It didn't take
as long as I would expect but rides here sure are packed with people!
Especially the train ride from their central train station to KLCC.
What's bothering me is that it's really not comfortable watching me
6's every now and then. Not really used to the idea, but i think the
locals here are, looking over my shoulder, I see girls holding onto
their bags for dear life. Now here i am sitting at a "Dunking donuts"
the first I've been to in fact. It's pretty nice but I thought it's
DUNKing donuts in dip. But it's the same familiar donuts we all know
of. But it's really good though! They have the Simpsons donuts! Haha.
Furthermore there are these two fine looking cauasian chicks on my
left. Too ba they're joined by their mum. Haha!

Now I've Checked in to the hotel. Great place just no wi-fi!!! There's
free Internet but unfortunately that requires a laptop which is still
sitting at home. Haha.

Well, dinner was great, food and cousins I've not seen for so long.
Just one flawed part in the evening, me. Throughout the evening, I can
say I was only able to understand 10% of all the conversations had.
Cause they were all in Cantonese! And most the 10% was contributed to
the conversations had with cousin Ben and his soon to wed fiancé
which were in English! Haha. Owells, food was good.

Day Two,
Day was fine, manage to catch "Couple's Retreat" at 12rm, GREAT movie
I must say, entertaining as expected! Though the starbucks here was
surprisingly dissapointing :( their wi-fi was terrible. Even had to
tap into Coffee Bean's which was more stable. I take that back,
USABLE. Haha.

Finally had the chance to savor on one of my favourite food here,
their Hokkien Mee! Nothing like in Singapore.

Day Three,

10am-
Thing about going out with your folks, don't they just expect you to
wake up as early?! Apparently waking up at 8 is already considered
late. Owells, breakfast was good! Cheap as well, a easily 4SGD bowl of
soup is only 4rm! Haha, and it tastes good.

10.30am
Going around in circles isn't fun.

6.20pm
Found One Utama, a megamall, in the end. Huge, perhaps too big, hard
to move around with my injured heel, fucking hindrance.

Just came out of the hotel's business centre to have my itouch
charged, apparently using wi-fi really drains my batt. Oh yeah, while
charging, I found a very intresting feature about the com I was given
for that time frame. After some privacy invading methods I used on
that com, apart from pictures of past guest, I found this very
"special" video! It was titled "Teen amazing with her feet". Haha!
They had porn there! Now I know how the staff kept themselves
entertained. Well, I did them a favor and copied th vid on "my
pictures" and "my videos" haha. So they would have greater ease in
finding that vid. Lol. Or for other travellers.

8.39pm
Eww! Birdshit! damn that was unlucky, but fortuantely it didn't land
on my head but on my forearm. Still, disgusting. Wasted no time in
ridding it off. This was actually the first time I had a birdshit
encounter, I've one word for it, Warm.

9.21pm
Receptionist Kasen is HOT! Haha.

Day Four,

9.03am
Today is the last day here in m'sia, I'm gonna miss the good food and
the hot receptionist, but i think it's for the better. I've loads of
assignments to catch up on and syfc papers too. Airlaw and Human
Performance & Limitations. Now, dim sum!

1.10pm

Peak lunch hours, CRAZY!!!

4.25pm

Hitched a ride from my cousin while fifth aunt helped take cousin's
fiancé's car off our hands. Traffic is as always crazy, took nearly

Damn...

2009-12-04T23:53:00.002+08:00

Darn it! Why do I feel so terrible now? One minute I was all cheerful and after that small incident i was sent on a guilt trip and now I'm kept to wonder. Has my past actions previously thought to be wise decisions, are actually foolish?

FUCK YOU TOUR AGENCY! ENOUGH OF YOUR TRIPS!

I'm bacck...

2009-12-01T17:31:00.003+08:00

On a beach somewhere in Batam..

Hey folks! Seems like ages since I last posted, just came back from the OCIP trip to Batam to help the kids at an orphanage over there. Painting of walls and building pillars. Whoa, when I was there I seriously felt like a "Ban-gala" worker here in S'pore. It was when we sat down for lunch on a wet day, all covered with filth and dirt from transporting the sand and stones to make cement from street level to the rooftop. There we were opening our packets of sub-standard food (wasn't atrocious but it could be better), famished from the hard labor, rampaging through our food like scavengers, well in clothes and with a spoon in hand, there I thought, this must be the feeling of how the blue collared felt at work. Almost makes me feel empathy for them, thank god I'm not doing this for a living. Well, my cousin had to work at an restaurant to inspire her to study hard and get to the top, that worked for her, now being successful and living in a mansion. Perhaps that was my moment to inspire me to study harder, a push on the back to strive on.

Some learn to care more, bond better or feel how lucky we are, I on the other hand have that in mind.

Though I must say Batam wasn't all that bad, I believe you must have thought i hated that crap hole, yes the conditions are terrible, but the stay wasn't all bad. Had fun here and there and some illegal moments, haha. You know what i mean. And if you're thinking i laid a hooker there, NO! There are others. Oh ya, think I got darker after the trip, ooo yea!

Oh yeah, just got my hands on an itouch!!! Whee!!! Haha, so gonna play with it, finally! Haha.

Meteor Showers!

2009-11-17T23:11:00.002+08:00

Meteor showers!!! That's happening tonight! Can't wait for it. According to the news, it'll visual between 1-5am. Brew the coffee and play the movies folks! I'm so not gonna miss this one, haha.

You know, life is short. The people around you may disappear all of a sudden when you least expect it. Take my uncle for instance, he just passed on a few days back. Never did I expect that you know, perhaps we take some people for granted, like they'll always be there no matter what. So lets take this time and not reflect ( sounds like some church ceremony, had enough of it in school already. ), lets...ponder, those who mean something to you. Treat them better or even tell them how you feel, perhaps it'll lighten the pain if something were to unexpectedly happen to them.

On the lighter note and more lively note, the holidays are heree!!! But there aren't much games to play! I'm almost done with Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's creed 2 isn't out for the PC until next year, blimey hell!

Oh yeah, i just found this out from Win's wall, okay, some may have known this like Karissa for a LONG LONG time but do this when you're on facebook.

"press up,up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Enter key, then right click then press up and down"

Whoa...

Have fun!

Alas, Freedom!

2009-11-10T12:44:00.002+08:00

Alas, the long awaited Oral Presentation has ended! Even though my Q&A wasn't all good, but still, THERE'S NO MORE PW LEFT!!! Omg, you've no idea how elated I am. Now its officially the end of school! At least for now, time for me to get back to who I am or at least who I think I am and chill the fuck out. Ease up and relax.

And in December, there'd be a chance for me to be independent. Gonna travel to KL alone and meet my parents there cause there's ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that I'm tagging along with them to go Genting. Of course, if I'm 21, I'd gladly go, however that isn't the case is it, haha. Bet I'd get kicked out of the casino cause fake ids will only get you this far, perhaps a fake passport will do the trick. Owells, one more year and I'm 18 and there are countries like Australia and UK where the legal age is 18 rather than 21.

It'll be pretty cool to just slack at the hotel you know, when I pictured myself just lying on the bed chairs at pool side, order a Margarita and just chill out. Wow that feels GREAT! In my mind, but first things first, HOW TO GET THERE, damn m'sia not exactly the place I'd like to walk with my pockets open, but owells, experience I guess, perhaps if I'm luck someone will grab my bag and I can wack the shit of out that dude and walk out unscratched, chances of that happening? No idea, he won't be working alone. So many visions, so many possibilities, I'll only know when I get there.

To those who have yet to finish their OPs, good luck! :)

History Dejavu

2009-11-03T20:26:00.004+08:00

History has a weird way of repeating, do you not agree? Whether it is feelings and emotions which seem all so familiar when the rush of nerves fill your body or recent events which does not seem all surprising. I am not saying these events are not significant in any particular way, but rather they all seem to give you this feeling of "Oh!!! This happened before!"

This happened to me minutes earlier while making my way home after doing an errand for my folks. Settled at the crossing of a street, never did I expect something to happen, i mean, what could happen? Then 2 figures appeared across the crossing, one skinny and frail, on the verge of breaking, a gust of wind should do the trick. The other on the other hand, aging and bulky, perhaps in the near future we would see this one in deep earth. Though both blended pretty well in the setting of night fall, though not perfectly.

These were characters from my past back in Primary school. I bet most whom I went to Primary school with would recognize my description earlier very intriguing and would point to whom made part of who I am. That malay "fuker-zal". Lets call them that. Does not matter anyway, insignificant part of my past which I want to burn and disintegrate.

What I want to say is, if you see someone you hate, do not stoop low and beat the crap out of him/her, that will be to your disadvantage though very satisfying when landing blow after blow, hearing music in your ears when you hear jaws which hopefully do not belong to you crack and disjoint. Perhaps you would consider plotting a through and devious plan to ruin his/her purpose of living, that would be tasteful, though inadvisable if you have other more serious matters to tend to.

What better way than to just give a smirk across your lips, telling him "Fucktard, go screw yourself! Wait, I don't give a shit". Cause you hate him/her yet you cannot be bothered.

Whatever way you do,
Have fun.

Hallo-wasbi-ween

2009-10-31T23:21:00.003+08:00

Bleh! Its Halloween folks! So glad i decided to go out tonight, fortunately I managed to leave earlier as my math tuition got canceled last minute. Then hitched a ride from Josef's mum to yfc when i realized why he was wearing the Skylark shirt and why I'm wearing a blue tee. I FORGOT ABOUT THE SKYLARK TEE!!! That resulted in feeling really naked in the suit, its kinda like wearing a jacket with nothing inside. I'll post a pic of it later on when I've received them from the photographers. There's this one pic, HILARIOUS! Shan't ruin the surprise if I said it now, stay tuned! haha.

Tanjong Pagar, never in my conscious memory had i set foot there, today that changed. Went to Sakae Sushi buffet over there. Nice place I'd say, clean with a polished look for the place I visited.

Wasabi up your throat, not a good idea, whoa the sensation rushing to the roof of your mouth, weird gas gushing out your nostrils and the desperate hope this feeling would stop. I had it thrice tonight due to losing in finger guessing games. Well everyone lost, except some!!! Especially the Benjamin who shoved wasabi in my suit when they tried to rape me! haha

Wish today? Have a Halloween party next year dressed up as the devil or something, this year I "Flight Suit Up!" like what Barney Stinson said, next year, Devil suit up! haha!

Cheers everyone and have a Bleh-i-ful Halloween.

A Working Plan?

2009-10-27T18:38:00.004+08:00

Kinda nice right? This font, it’s like me having neat handwriting, haha. Seems like it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged. I finally did it, complete the Nike Human Race which I wanted to do last year but over shot the application deadline by weeks! This year’s one, okay, this experience I’ve had for this race, awesome! Not only is it well organized, more than the others I’ve been to, the Safari Zoo Run and the President’s Charity Run. Perhaps I was a little biased when I said that, cause all of them were actually very well organized indeed. Just that this one, apart from having to wake up at 5 in the morning, watching my bro getting lost in the CBD, which by the way is a very good thing that it occurred in the morning cause the ERPs that would be sapping our money would be a fuck load. Yeah, race was good, even saw many familiar faces! Which was from what I think made this so awesome! First started with hmm…Tao Yee I guess? Who happened to be a much better runner than I am haha. Then this girl from Chinese class, can’t quite remember her name. Then another, whom I just got her name, Amanda, nice name. Yeah, then at nearing the finishing line, this dude from NYJC who was in my course in SYFC, yeah, was side by side when we crossed the finishing line. Haha. Then there’s Gwen, who gave me the “Medal” nice medal I’d say. Here it is…

This’ll mark the longest distance I’ve marked, 10km! To think I didn’t train for it and FINISHED it, let alone under an hour, 57min actually. I’M IMPRESSED FOR MYSELF! Haha. Not so for others but for me that’s gotta count for something.

Aye. Then come the familiar faces, Benedict, Patricia, SOH WT, Janzen, Yee Khang and this dude I can’t quite remember his name, but was from MFSS too in my year. AWESOME! Oh yeah, you know what’s great bout this race? There’s a Massage Parlor! Yes, you heard me, I was like, great! I don’t need to stretch already, just go for that and I’ll be fine. Not bad I’d say, pretty effective, counting that there were no muscle aches after the race.

Then there’s D-Day for Promos, one we longed yet dreaded for. Contradictory feelings for this yet so common. Exam results! Well, glad it’s done and over with. Can’t say I’m glad on how it started with me barely scrapping through GP with an E. To think I’ve worked so hard for that yet only and E, damn! I missed As I had last year. Haha. Owell, when there’s a will, there’s a way! Stay positive! Then came the awesomeness today. B for Econs, so glad I got out of the D back in Mid Years. Though I could have done much better, an A case study but a Failed essay. Then came Chemistry, wasn’t all that surprised cause I was already informed I’d get a B, still, could have done much better and smiling wide kissing my E in Mid Years goodbye. Haha! Same for physics, B too, loads of Bs this time, 3 in total. Was more of expecting an A, but guess I was complacent, my fault in that. Didn’t improve greatly, stuck at a B though an improvement of like, 4 marks? That counts right? And that totally gave myself the perfect excuse to apply for H3 physics which I was considering if I got an A which never came. Better ace at one that be a master of nothing.

Maths gave me a surprise, never did I scored so well! As I was gleaming with joy, hitting only S’, Cs and a top of a B, I finally hit an A!!! Was truly shocked by that when I saw an 83 for on my paper, I truly missed seeing an 8 in the front of the 2 digits on JC papers. A cause to celebrate for! Glad to see an improvement in almost everything, maybe just Chinese, an S still, I’VE TO PASS!!! NO NEGOTATION! No way I’m gonna take CLB next year. Haha

Hard work really pays off seeing from this year’s results, just the price you’ve to pay like I did. Consider revising. However, since I’ve started already. Guess there’s no turning back ain’t it? Already made a bad impression, why not go all out and ignore all. Make amends when a fresh opportunity arrives.

Have you ever seen me reading a story book before? Guess what I’m starting to read now! No, I’m not grounded like the last time, it’s just that THERE ARE BENEFITS IN READING! Only applicable to interesting ones like the one I’m reading now, “Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince”. Kiddy? Who gives a damn, it’s nice and I like it. Kinda been spending more time on it than games these days, firstly, no new games available, secondly with all the formatting and software installation, I need some entertainment with me not in built in the computer. Haha. It works.

Cheers,
Ethan?

Should I Have Done That?

Sins, what are they? Be it acts that are illegal or a violation to one's conscience. Well, for the past weekend, I've done 3, not proud of it, maybe I am, haha!

Sin 1. A night out with tommy, jerry, yuxi and simon. You know, after a meal you're kinda expected to pay for it, well, being judge, jury and excecutioners, we decided, based on the dissappoint food quality, they didn't deserve to be rewarded. haha! If that was bad enough, we committed trespassing. You know the rooftop garden at the OC? Spectacular view, somehow cordened off. Well, try going ON the roof. Views there are much better and satisfying, but chances are you'll get busted and called down by the guards. What school I'm in they asked, Temasek JC. haha! Guess later on we decided to lay off the crimes and just chill out, we weren't granted that right when a guard chased us off when he spotted us playing cards. Like what T said, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE GUARDS HERE?! Can't we just chill out and play cards and not disrupt anyone or break any property? We weren't gambling anyway. Still, the adrenaline from climbing up the ladder up to the roof kept pumping all night. Then it kinda went down when we say this trans dancing flirtatiously outside a bar, directly facing the band playing, i could udnerstand why they were looking down. haha!

Sin 2, too much booze!

Sin 3, TOO MUCH FOOD!!! Yesterday's mutton bryani and today at Tony Roma's. Whoa, I need to start running or I'd grow fatter. haha. I've still got a nike human race to complete next Saturday. Shirt ain't as nice as last year's, but still its good! $20 for a race, original nike tee and bottle, talk about value for money! Or, Nike simply sells SUPER OVERPRICED goods. Yeah, Tony Roma's has great steak and ribs. Whoa, Blue Martinis, a house mix cocktail and Bloody Mary ( SPICE PACKED! Try it, haha. Find out their special ingredient. Didn't really knew they had TOBASCO till i actually tried it today. I was like, THIS TASTES LIKE FOOD!!! Then my mum asked the bartender to find what they had put inside, its good, but think i prefer tobasco, out of my drink. haha! Blue martinis still rock).

Seriously, how unruly is this? Damned guards...

Peace.

What?!

You know, there are times in life where things may seem complicated but when you look back, they just are the most trivial of things. These are the times which include feeling horrible when you are supposed to feel happy and when you're supposed to feel down, deep down you feel this joyful kid waiting to burst out. I've no idea why I'm thinking this way, perhaps its the flu pills messing with my head, gotta tell ya, by far the MOST effective medicine ever to keep me lying on the bed. Gotta stop taking them. Guess I forgot how it feels like to feel "sober" again, feeling how I want to feel and how it should feel.

It may not be surprising at all, cause I'm sure many including myself feel this way at times, things just don't go according to plan. Okay, i SERIOUSLY hope the doc didn't mix female hormonal mood swing powder into the supposing flu tablets. Mood swings? Damn, no idea.

Then there's this phenomenon, what you may think you want, may not be true. Cause once you get it, its like, what? what happened? Oookay. Yes, I'm talking about exams, this is one of the few that falls under this list. Take exams for instance alright, you've been looking for it to be done and over asap. But once its over, the expected inner joy you get isn't there somehow, perhaps lost in the wandering deserts, who knows.

On a lighter note, things that make you truly happy, aren't the ones you expected it to be. They just come along, the little things that put a smile on your face and go wow, I totally did not catch that coming to me, but thank god it did. I'm not saying that things you work hard for aren't fulfilling in the end, they are! Its just that to the broad definition, there are exceptions like this which come to play in our daily lives. In fact, those are the main goals in life we should head towards to, cause it makes you realize how much you can achieve when you want something so badly you're willing to push yourself over the edge to get it.

So, what I'm saying is... ...

SUIT UP!

Sometimes, though the truth is hard to bear, its better for the other person to know it rather than to ignore.

Stay contactable, at least give an answer to a question than to leave one to false hope and eventually make one realize it oneself. It'll be more time saving to just let it all out, too hurtful? Use your words wisely and convey the message wrapped in bubble wrap.

A little voice, which may cause one to reconsider their actions in the future. True, what one doesn't know can't hurt him. But, letting one waste time pondering what happened, does.

:)

Finally feeling the breeze splashing into my face...

(compliments from Tommy)

OH MY GOD! Finally its over! I mean, its been so long since I've officially been able to chill out. June holidays was officially a holiday, but it was more of a BETTER USE IT WISELY kinda holiday. Meaning don't fool around or you'll be played a fool! But everything has its price, having to sit through the final and TOUGHEST paper I'd say. Not very hard said Lydia, I THINK NOT! haha! I'm so gonna kill her, having sit through a paper where I'm incapacitated, strapped to a chair and forced to read Sanskrit. I guess that'll be how it feels like for normal people who aren't handicapped in Chinese as I am.

Well, that's that and I'm SOOO glad its over. Heard from Graci and Josef, bbq. Nice! Been asking, where's the outing? This Saturday? Later? Set ar! Now with promos out of the way, let the good times roll! haha.

Now lets see, upcoming events? I'd say this picnic/dinner/ i don't know what's gonna happen on Friday and should start phoning people now! haha. Then there's this even Dunstan said it'll be awesome, I should make plans for that soon now with school out. And WAY MORE CATCHING UP SESSIONS!!! Oh my, seems like a decade since I've seen my sec school mates. I'm back in the game now and its time to let loose! haha.

Cheers to all who have gotten rid of their exams, I'll leave a glass or two for those who haven't, don't worry. We'll hang out soon.

Take care.
P.S. I just made this blog public.

New blog?

2009-10-13T13:14:00.004+08:00

Hey guys! I can say I'm baccck...Apparently I've to change to this template cause I wasn't able to access my own blog and perhaps I'm getting sick and tired of spammers already. Apparently, that was a case which was too complicated I shall say. Well, apparently it kinda stopped, one way or another. Well, this is a new beginning i shall say. Wait till I get the hang of the functions here. This is kinda new to me, didn't really changed to the new version cause I had to discard my blogskin. Owells, things have to start somewhere.

I shouldn't really be blogging right now I'd say, ITS STILL PROMO PERIOD! Okay apparently, from what I just heard from Tommy like 5 seconds ago, I have to revert back to the classic template to have custom blogskins. Darn! Leave it to later...

Or I have just reverted back to the classic template again. haha! It just happened.

You know, now is a GREAT time to watch TV series. I mean for the comedies/drama/thrillers based in USA, this is the time seasons are renewed and time to start downloading! Did i saw downloading? Oh, i meant borrowing from kind strangers. haha! Speaking of borrowing from kind strangers, yesterday, I just found out that I didn't have my ez-link card with me. Cause my bro went to borrow it and it never occurred to him I'll need it the next morning, haha. Yeah, then I was this jumpy boy kinda shocked and started to borrow change from others, i mean. I had a fifty, ten and a two dollar note in my wallet. Hell no I'm gonna waste the first two notes. So i almost resorted to wasting my two dollar note for a bus ride.
Fortunately, the bus driver said "Hey, don't waste that, go get some change from others" and that was what i did, apparently, not many had change even for 2 bucks. Merry go round i went till i found this girl whom i had woken and she kinda gave me 50 cents. That was the end of my borrowing money regime. Felt kinda bad for that. Note to self: must return her the change when i see her again. haha.

And yes, now almost ALL of my tv serials have resurrected! Come on, Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother, South Park, 90210, Big Bang Theory are out!!! Like new episodes every weekday. In fact, I think my balls just shrunk, haha! I somehow found Gossip Girl entertaining, i don't know what they did to me, but I actually "borrowed" the entire season 1 of it! Cat fight bitching, sexy babes, guys getting hot babes laid, rich world, i don't know, its nice somehow. haha!

Till next time,
Take care folks!
