I Gotta Feeling

Tonight's the night
Let's live it up
I got my money
Let's spend it up
Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let's kick it OFF

mind blank-mont blanc

wow I hate it man. My mind is just paper white blank now. I can't even think of anything, either because I'm too tired, or I'd exhausted my supply of brain juice.

Tired

Yesterday was Bryce and Cousin Wanzhen's wedding banquet at Sheraton Towers. Weddings are cool and it's great that one by one my cousins are finding their true love. Although it's saddening that I am no longer close to them. Not to say that I was very close to them in the first place.

Bah

So Thursday was celebration for Nicholas Wong's birthday at Vivo City. Still can't believe that he got straight ace for all his tests and exams, thus eliminating the need for him to take JJ's promotional exams. Damn smart man.

The Ugly Truth

Today, I went to watch the Ugly Truth at Bugis Junction. I think it was an awesome movie, and is worth every cent of my $9.50. The movie explains the intrinsic complexity between a man and a woman. It gives me an insight as to what do girls really want and, when it comes down to the real deal, what we guys are looking for. Coupled with the satirical humor and coarse language, this movie really made my day. =)

Irresponsibility

Sian. Holidays are my bane- ever since the start of this month long semester vacation, my concept of time has changed into one of infinitesimal flexibility. I now have reversed my biological clock, turning day into night and night into day. Every day is a Sunday for me.

If I keep this up, not only will I be stripped from my committee position in SPcheer, I'd most probably be removed from the hierarchy of cass club as treasurer. Not a very pleasant thought.

Anyway, Pulau Ubin on 16/9 was fun. =) But extremely tiring lah. Took alot of pictures, and somehow I feel uber lazy to write it all down again. I shall let the facebook pictures do the talking.















On a side note, the roads of Ubin can be compared to a rollercoaster ride- a very unstable on that is. Majority are pockmarked with imperceptible "potholes" that provide sudden dips which cause jolts to your bum and nether regions.

In Ubin, you learn to appreciate the down slopes and curse the up slopes. The down slopes more often than not give you a sudden rush of adrenaline and makes you want to go WHOO. On the other hand, the up slopes cause you much pain and misery. Although you'd persevere pedaling up the first few seconds, majority will end up giving up and resort to pushing their bikes.

There are also numerous locations that provide you with refreshing drinks and a place to rest, otherwise known as "pitstops". On the island, you will learn to appreciate 100 Plus, because of the intolerable humidity which literally suffocates a person at times, and cause a constant thirst which never goes away, even when you have downed more than a dozen cans of the cursed drink, which gets sick after a while.

Results are out on 23rd.. the feeling of anticipation will probably kill me before I even receive them

haji lane..?

WAH.

So today, I went to Illuma at Bugis to catch Aliens in the Attic with clins, wl, fw, ivan, cm and th.. which I swear, is an extremely dumb and retarded show. For all who are wondering, Aliens in the Attic is your typical alien-invades-earth-but-humans-fight-back type of movie, seen over, and over, and over, and over, and over again in about a million other Hollywood movies such as the War of the Worlds and Mars Attack! . It is about interesting as Marketing (in other words, not interesting at all) and the scripts are lame, at best. The only endearing scene is the part where the grandma fights the evil boyfriend. I think that part is super cool. =)

I recommend no one else to watch it ( and when I say that I really think its really that bad ) because film-makers need to learn not to recycle plots over, and over, and OVER again and perhaps exercise some of the creativity the have in store inside their empty vessels of a brain.

Lan at Illuma was eye opening, because this is the first time I played in a lanshop that offers both a Razer mouse and keyboard. Not to mention a pair of headphones. Its cool, but if it was not for the fact that today is a weekday, during which it costs $2.50, I would have never agreed to spending $3 on something I can play for free at home.

Finally, we headed over to Haji Lane for dinner. Let me just say, it was a really bad choice for a eating place. First of all, cm couldn't find the Arabian restaurant (I am not even sure if its CONSIDERED a restaurant) and we walked for, oh , close to half and hour just to find the right one. In the end, I realised the only reason why we didn't find it was because it was tucked behind the corner of two streets in a rather obscure manner.

Next, there were no seats. Believe it or not, the restaurant was actually pretty POPULAR, and it was featured in a few newspapers. I think. Though my experience contradicts that popular belief. And we had to settle for some dinghy room with low lighting atmosphere, surrounded by a sea of shoes and a Mickey Mouse.

I must also add the utter SMOKINESS OF THE WHOLE FUCKING PLACE. God, the air literally stank from the enclosed area which hampered the ventilation of all the smoke from the shisha and cigarettes. Needless to say, without ventilation, the place was fucking hot.

Last, but also the major turn off, was the god damned service.

The most epic conversation of the day:

Nicholas Teo : Hi, can I ask if you accept Nets here

Fucking stupid Indian waiter with no sense of service etiquette: Yes, Snapple

WTF?!

DO YOU SENSE. THE TOTAL RETARDEDNESS OF THE ANSWER. WHEN YOU ARE ASKING A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION, AND THE GUY JUST REPLIES YOU WITH SOME RANDOM ANSWER

e.g.

Guy, "Let's get married"

Girl, "Yes, I want chicken rice"

WTF?!

NO LINK?


And that wasn't the worse. Oh no it wasn't. We had to wait close to an HOUR for our food. Do you know the feeling. When you are fucking hungry, and the food you ordered an hour ago REFUSES to come? Naturally you'd entertain high hopes for that Shish Kebab. You'd think that when it comes, it'll be piping hot, and the monstrous Kebab would be pierced through a two foot long stick, and you'd spend the next 20 minutes or so navigating your way through that chunk of meat.

BUT NO.

THE KEBAB WAS FUCKING COLD. AND IT DIDN'T EVEN TASTE OH-SO-EXTRAORDINARY. Definitely not something I will pay $15 for. BUT I STILL DID. Oh my god, the thought of it makes my blood boil... The final insult was that after I'd cleaned up everything, I WAS STILL HUNGRY. FUCK.

Really, I was so damn agitated.

Gah.

Monday, September 14, 2009

OMG!

OMG! Today was a damn nice day lah. Really. I totally enjoyed myself. Haha. Went swimming in the early afternoon at 12.30 pm with wl, ivan and cf. Damn it. Just when I thought I can enjoy my virgin trip to the Jurong East Swimming Complex at Chinese Garden (whose slides, according to wl, is epicly awesome), just when we finished walking FOR A FULL TEN MINUTES, outside the entrance, they had to label

"MONDAYS- CLOSED"

OMG!!!!!!

DO YOU KNOW HOW CUI IS THAT OR NOT?! THE FEELING. OF ANTICIPATION. AND SUDDENLY! ALL YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS GOT CRUSHED.

Nah. Actually I was just very pissed that we walked all the way there for nothing. =)

But seriously lah. We were damn unlucky. We had a 1 out of 7 chance of going to swim on the wrong day, AND WE HAD TO PICK THAT DAY. Since when did public pools get "off" days?!

Headed over to Bukit Batok Swimming Complex, where we scammed the people of their rightful $1.50, by buying a Child ticket, which costs like $0.50.

I SWEAR AH. Only chinfung will think of playing with the locker key. Seriously. The magic key which holds access to close to $500 worth of assets. AND HE HAD TO THROW IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE POOL. LOL. Thank god for the one of the few good Samaritans left in this world, who appeared to us in our moment of distress and helped us dive to the bottom of the 1.8 m deep pool to retrieve the key for us.

Apart from that, the little swimming stint was tiring, but uneventful.

After that at Boris's house, we were surprisingly fucking high, and had lots of fun. I enjoyed myself there veh, veh, VEH much :D Still cant believe he made us climb through the window when in actual fact, his house key was lying in full view on his couch. Haha. Had ALOT of fun, and even now my throat is still suffering from the after effects of all that chaos.

I now know that weilong is a hardcore scammer in Cheat, Fanwei basically enjoys collecting cards, and I, for one, can't cheat for nut's sake.

Nice day man. Seriously.

poker.. again?

Nice. Went poker-ing with boris, wl, ivan, fw and cf today. I didn't learn much, except I found out that rumours abound about Boris's mom is true. She is really fierce one => she managed to scam me with nothing when I had a pair. Also, I learned that money makes the world go round (not that I already didn't know that little nugget of information)

ownage

gg.

Today is a nice day because,

a) I won my first 1 million chips in poker (rofl finally, i know.)

b) I won a 4 v 5 game in which wl, who was the only hope for our team, left halfway because he kena kp by his father. lolol.

c) I went to watch GI Joe, which I think is damn awesome prz. Srsly. All the actions damn cool. And we weren't sitting in the front row. =) Can't wait for GI Joe 2 to come out.

Spoiler alert. I think its damn cool if I can get that super cool camouflage cloak. Cb reminds me of harry potter's invisbility cloak. Hehehe. And the accelerator is like super awesome lah. If only I have that, I wont have to worry about NAPFA/NS ever again. :D

So nice to dream.

MLIA.

100th Post

Wow dudes and babes. This past three days were fucking awesome. I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING MISSING IN ACTION FOR THE TWO DAYS. =( My handphone jitao ran out battery yesterday afternoon, just when we reached the chalet.And I didn't have a charger with me. FML.

I am telling you. I totally enjoyed myself at Costa Sands Resort (Downtown East). Yes, I was stoned and talking nonsense and doing random stuff towards the end of the chalet, but really, it's all because of the lack of sleep. I really enjoyed this chalet alotalotalot, from the process of conceptualizing it, to actually putting it into action. This chalet would not have been awesome without my super caring and supportive PTN Miss Doris Nga, who gladly sacrificed her $130 worth of money to make this a cost free chalet, hence bringing about a better good by enhancing overall class bonding.

A major part of the success of this chalet is definitely credited to my super awesome and cool classmates from DMC05. Definitely, there will be people who decide not to join us, for one reason or another, and some who feel that things might not go according to plan.

BUT THEIR FEARS WERE UNFOUNDED.

And now, after this chalet, I really do know alot more about my classmates, and I discover that I have found myself a very special class, because there are all sorts of different people inside it. Somehow, I am reminded of Fiona's favorite food, the Clementi Rojak. Because it seems to me that we really do have lots of people with varied cultures, races and personalities that make up the entire product!

The whole planning of this chalet and executing of our plans were so largely successful because mainly of one thing: the $7.50 PTN Class Fund each person had, whic amounted to like $165. This meant that all our food, beverages, and entertainment issues were settled. At no cost to us. Hence I must take this opportunity to reiterate that, "Money is the root of all evil- if you have it, don't be afraid to use it" I would dare to bet that if we were to pay for the cost of out accommodation, food, drinks, and entertainment, (which would be a bomb) it would probably not be as successful as it was.

So yesterday, Fiona, Benedict, Diyanah and I went to buy the various stuff such as cutleries, drinks, and snacks at the Clementi NTUC, after which we went to meet up with a smattering of the rest of the class at the chalet. AND WE PLAYED CHEAT, INDIAN POKER AND TABOO! God, it was damn epic, especially when Miss Nga joined us in the games. Fuck, all those forfeits were damn hilarious, and their antics really perk things up.

Then it was dinner (where most of the class came), for 4 extra large Canadian Pizzas (bought with the PTN class fund), Sambal Sausages and Fishball (by Radha! they were lovely, but was a TAD too bit spicy for my liking..) and Sushi! (by Kaien...'s maid. They were equally delicious and were snapped up pretty fast).

Gosh, was it filling. Heng we decided only to order 4 pizzas, because at the end, there were even left overs, because people couldn't finish them up.

We had a bit of class television bonding with Singapore Idol! Rofl, I think the scene must have been pretty epic, everyone squashing together on that bed. =D

And after that, when we got the alcohol (albeit just a little), and the mahjong set, we got down to business. Fuck, damn it was good. I NEVER had this type of heart to heart talk to anyone before in my entire life (excluding the one at Weilong's house, because it was just the three of us.Heh.) But this was like one huge group. And every round, just spam the deepest darkest secret you have within, and others have a choice to probe further, and you have a choice to decide not to answer. But most played along, and this went on for like four or five hours. Omg. Surprisingly, I don't regret telling them any of the things I said, because I know I can trust them and they know they can trust me.

Fuck. These types of things are the best. I keep thinking about what would happen if we did this for 4b1'08. Perhaps the class would turn out to be more bonded? Perhaps we would keep more in contact now? I don't know.

MAHJONGG. I NEVER HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING MAHJONG! LOL. ROFL. DAMN FUNNY. :D But seriously lah really very sway. Like poker. Whole day waiting for that ONE card (which will never come out).

HENG NO MONEY LEH. ROFLMAO! GOOD PRACTICE FOR ME.

And lastly, WILDWILDWET WITH FIONA, LINA, AJMAL AND VERENA! Omg. Damn fun. Seriously. Haha. I had a hell of a time exploring the place again (the last time I went there was like two years ago I think)Omg I think my personal favourite is the Youtube already. (This slide, which the attraction is shaped in a "U", and the float is a 2-in-one thing which is shaped like an "8") and the runner up will be the dark dark tunnel where I can scream as loud as I want and as long as I can BECAUSE LIMPEI IS FROM BAND HOR FIONA! :D

Fuck man I really enjoyed myself this past two days. =)

M18

Today, I went, for the first time, to watch an M18 show- Final Destination! God damn, I knew it. Heng I grabbed the opportunity when it came by after today's ICP exam! :D Lina, Fiona, Benedict, Verena, Vivian, and I went to Iluma's cinema, where we managed to buy the tickets to the movie. =) God damned Bugis Junction didn't allow us to go through. Well fuck that, I think Illuma's cinema is much more comfortable and epic.

Anyway, I think the only reason why the show is rated M18 is because of all the different ways the people are killed in the movie. So creative and so imaginative, but also so fake. Seriously. Remember the car accident by the security guard (gasp spoiler alert. And the swimming pool. And the escalator.) Sigh, But nevertheless, it's my very first M18 movie! Virgin show =)=)=)

Quite enjoyed it I think, though not the part where Lina grabs my hand until I can actually see marks on them. Heh.

Arcade was pretty fun too! Played DDR with Fiona, and I OWNED HER K! Omgomgomg. Nicholas Teo? Playing DDR? Are you serious?

Yes. No joke. My DDR is so good, I can win Fiona. Seriously. Just ask her. Though I think I will lose to her in King of Fighters. Fiona's violent way of gaming traumatised me so much, the next time she'd ask me to play KOF, I'd probably just give in to her and die faster so as to avoid the imminent torture that will follow... (example, lots of screaming, shouting, buttons smashing, legs tapping..)

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER PLAY LEFT4DEAD THOUGH! LOLLL!!!

After that was window shopping at Bugis Street, where we spent hours walking the endless corridors of clothes, shoes, and what nots.. Quite a nightmare.. Lol no lah. But if you guys didn't already know, I fucking hate shopping, so this type of things are more like a torment to me.

ICP Exam is finally over. Exams are finally over. HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!!!!

OMG CHAOSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

:D

._.

Oh, the irony.

Today, a person who is constantly being judged decides to judge me. The world is filled with so many insecure crackpots who need regular affirmation by average people like me in order to give reason to themselves that they are part of the fabric of today's society. It is no wonder there are so many discrimination abound, because for them to find a solution to their problems, they decide to take things into their own hands. That's when all the gossips and bitching comes into play.

Black is black, white is white. Left is never right and right is never left. Sometimes, it's best to leave the past untouched. For these type of people who take advantage of people's kindness, sometimes the best solution is just to avoid them like a plague.

Retards.

369 Day

GG. I think I finally know the meaning of desperation. FOM Marketing- which constitudes 50% of the entire module, is in danger of being in the red zone. Oh god, if that coveted "A" is not to be mine, at least give me a "B". "C" at the bare minimum.

Hehe.

Fucked Up Day

Fucking shit. I swear, I am fucking dulan.

This was supposed to be a damn awesome day, but somehow, it got screwed up. I shall be brutally honest here: I fucking hate it when people insult my integrity. When people suggest that I am cheating, and when there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why I should, I get extremely pissed off. In fact, my blood was reaching boiling point, and I almost felt like I was going into cardiac arrest.

I mean, now I am not even talking about the money. Fuck that shit. So what if I won $24 and I got back like $12? I don't give a fuck. Screw those nerds who dont have a sense of sportsmanship. But then they start insinuating that I cheated and took extra chips, and THAT'S when I start getting mad.

Even worse is when people start chattering incessantly at me. And not just chattering incessantly at a whole range of topics, but they keep harping on that one single topic. Have you ever encountered this situation? When people get so obsessed with something that they keep bugging you about it. On and on and on, like an irritating fly around your ears which you can't swat away. I swear, those people are the worse.

Fuck that shit. No mood to write any more.

Too good to be true

Sad, really.

Today was the last lesson of Introduction to Media Writing and Design Basics. After partaking in the course for close to seven months, I feel almost attached to them. Almost. I got to say, Mr Heng is a pretty damn nice teacher. For someone who transferred from a Junior Collage to a Polytechnic, and got assigned to our class, he is someone to be respected lol. Especially since we were the ones who caused him to lose his bonus.

LOL.

Damn, if it was me, I'd go crazy and kill everyone on sight, only because I'd lost my bonus to a bunch of kids who were using laptops in my lesson.

This is probably why I'll never be a teacher.

Design Basics was pretty awesome as well. The Photoshop skills I learned from Miss Nga will probably stick with me for the rest of my life, only because they're so useful in removing blemishes/pimples (Think Healing Brush Tool and Patch Tool)

Went to Sakae yesterday, and I must say, the feeling of (excessive) stuffing oneself is not awesome at all. Though I most definitely enjoyed myself, I think I had enough Sakae to last me a few months. On a happier note though, I bought me a new mouse!

Hello, Logitech and Piss off, MobileGear.

Hehe.

Too many projects and exams hurling themselves at me. Trying my best to fend them off.. but the deed is done! I must play some more. Lolol.

For the love of Holidays.

Sigh.

Thursday, August 6, 2009

Nice Day

Whee~! Life has given me hope after my brief depression stint. Suddenly, the world is colourful again. =]

Today, I received a piece of good news which made my day- Design Basics CA2 is in the good books of Miss Nga.

The Outcast of the Cockheads made Nightmare look like the fucking Statue of Liberty (which means its totally awesome, thats what I'm trying to express). Gosh, I love my group.

On the other hand, though, ASUS Mouse FAILED ME. Haiz. Here I am, being so impressed with the reliability and trustworthiness of the brand name, and half way through ITB Microsoft Words lesson, all lights were snuffed out from the mouse. That's it. No word of warning or symptoms of distress. I had to struggle throughout the rest of the lesson like a dick, trying to insert a chart into the document. All because I didn't have a mouse.

Sigh. Its ok, I still have MobileGear. :)

Sad Day

Today is an emo neno screamo day. I won 100k at Poker.. but I lost them almost instantly with a misplaced "All In" at the 10,000$ room. Damn, I hate those words.

So, I've been really busy everyday. It's either Poker, Dota, or Movies. Hehehe. Project deadlines and exams are looming, but I can't really couldn't care less. Seriously, it's like the Poly virus or something, procrastination seems to be the order of the day.

Waitwait, who am I kidding. I'd been procrastinating ever since.. forever.

Talking about a virus, I was really sick a few days back with Influenza, cough, and fever. I had my hopes up for a moment in expectation of a one week Leave of Absence for h1n1, but all hopes were crushed when my fever receded back to something more reasonable. Sigh. Life is cruel.

God knows I need a break. Not that I'm not enjoying life now, what with all that fun and games, but holidays>school. period.

Ok so tests so far are outrageous. I expected better from myself. Or actually not really, cause I hardly study for them. Wait, what's studying? Hehe. I seriously hope to get a highhh highhh GPA so that I can prove that poly>jc. period.

Need inspiration. pronto. Sigh. Should probably start on my DB CA3, OralComm Speech Powerpoint, IMW CA3 and et cetera, which includes studying for FOM and ICP.

Haiz.

P.S. More motivated now, because I won Clins in some weird Random Abilities DotA mode. Hehehe. Must treasure, not often I get bragging rights. Ahahaha.

Bankrupt

There is no luck in life, only skill.

Well I beg to differ. Totally hate it when I step into the cesspit of a losing streak. Thank god I'm only playing Internet money, or else I'll go crazy.

Hehe 5v5 Lich Same Hero is so psychotic. I seriously felt like I was going blind. Lmao. Gosh, icy white glare everywhere, and when everyone chains together.. madness!

I think I still like 5v5 Zeus Same Hero the best though. Lol it's the best- 5 Thunder God Wraths all zam at the same time= confirm die.

School is pretty kind to me, except so far, if I am not careful, I am going to repeat ONOW Module. Which is damn sad, if you come to think about it. Usually, people start failing around Year 2 or Year 3. But SPCA talks at Tanjong Katong Secondary was cancelled today last minute (god damn it) and there is no replacement for us to find in time!

Fuck.

Still can't believe I fell for the email virus shit.

Red Car :)

Hehe.



I know, I am awesome.

Lol Clins and his red cars. Seriously. I can't understand him. In NP, he can have ALL THE ferraris and Lamborghinis he want, but NO. He wants something custom made. Cb. Sad, really. :D

Felt really sick today- had flu and cough. I bet someone at the concert passed it to me. Zz. And what is more, we had to chiong Marketing report today. God damn sian.

I Believe In Music XXVII

Today, I had I Believe in Music XXVII concert. Although I wasn't exactly very happy, I did enjoy myself overall. Fortunately, with the presence of friends and relatives, it made things so much easier to bear.

Thanks Russell, Melvin, Darrin and Charissa for attending the event. And not to mention dearest cousin Elaine, with her boyfriend (who apparently fell asleep *cough cough*), Ling^2, and mother. And apparently Mrs Lam, the director of CASS also graced the concert, but I didn't see her. To be honest, I think I was just lazy to find her.

Rehearsal starting at 9 in the morning was tiring. To make things worse, I STILL didn't have my black long sleeve shirt. IMHO, I actually thought that perhaps without the full last minute rehearsal, the band might have appeared more energetic and expressive. But oh well. Different conductors do it differently I guess.





Bright and happy Sunflowers by dearest cousin Elaine. Real one some more hor



Cool flower by Charissa. I managed to wear this during the Godzilla Eats Las Vegas Skit! =)

And lastly



Haha cute. if rus didn't tell me, I probably wouldn't notice. Should have done something like that for everyone, sure damn cool.

Sigh.

Just glad this is over and done with. I can finally get on with my life now.

hehe

Today, I attended a post birthday celebration outing for Chunming and Boris with Nic W, Chin fung, Clins, Wl, Fw, Changwen and Ivan.

We went to Cineleisure Kbox, where although I didn't really sing much, I had a hell of a time. Considering that I don't really listen to chinese songs and much less, sing chinese songs, it was pretty awesome how I actually knew quite a few of them.

I think I have a weird problem- I can recognise the tune of the song, but I can't remember for my life the title nor the artist.

Dinner at some Hong Kong restaurant was expensive, but filling. I liked my seafood horfun alot :)

Lastly was the mini party at Esplanade rooftop- but too bad it was marred by the money problem. Actually the final part of the dinner was spoiled by the money problem too.

God damn it. Totally hate the issue of finances. Why can't things be simpler? It's so annoying when one tries to keep track of who owes what.

Concert is tomorrow, and I don't have my black long sleeve shirt. Neither do I have my shades (which I was suppose to borrow from darren, but I totally forgot. Damn.).

Gg.

God damn it

JI BYE!

HATE THE WORLD!

FUCKERS.

Blogger sucks.

What is going on with Blogger man?

Lol awesome night. I swear, I need more excitement in my life.

tonning at Weilong's house with clins last night was just about the most exciting thing I did in the past week.

DotA, Poker and just talking cock with friends is the one thing that can make you feel better, no matter how shit ass things are now going for you.

Oh man, totally don't want to get back ICP results. =/

Toilet humour













I think this is god damn funny. Lol.

-p.s. I didn't compose this. Don't have such awesome poetry skills.-

Gosh I can't wait for 050909- 6 weeks worth of vacation awaiting me.

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Whatever

Damn it. I totally hate it when people give up on me. Deep down inside, I just want to say, "Fuck this world." Sucks to be me. Argh!




















Awesome right? I know.

School sucks. End of story.

Jeez, I'm too lazy to even write.

Another weekend.. gone

Sigh.

There goes another weekend, gone in a flash. Damn, why does time pass so fast?

Today, I finally went to exercise after 34389278713 years with Shaun. Kinda weird, but I miss P.E. . Like, a lot. As in, during primary school and secondary school, I totally love P.E. cos it's like totally cool and awesome.

No, actually, I love it because it's like a free period. And free periods didn't come often those days. And partly because I can bluff myself that I'm actually keeping fit through that one hour of (more often than not slacking) physical exercise.

Now during poly, there is no one to tell me, "Dude, go run 2.4km", or "Dude, is that a push up you're doing?!" and last but not least the dreaded "how many pull-ups can you do now? I can reach like oh. 273892739817. ONLY."

God damn it. Totally hatesxz NAPFA. I swear. But yeah. Thing is, there is no one to tell me to exercise now. And if I didn't have the discipline, I'd probably never exercise till Year Three, when I grow fat and wheezy, and can't walk 5 metres without gasping for breath. Not to say that I have lotsxz of discipline now.

Same with homework and attendance. Damn, going to school now isn't the same as going to school in Secondary school anymore. I could pon the whole entire week without a valid reason, and people won't even care, unless I'd exceeded my 25% worth of MIA attendance. Totally miss teachers like Mr David Chan who would chase people endlessly for homework that needs to be done.

That said, SO THERE SUCKERS WHO HAVE TO STUDY MATHS, SCIENCE AND CHINESE! NO MORE TORMENT!

Omg. If there is one thing I totally love about poly (or more accurately Mass Communication), it's that I NEVER EVER HAVE TO TOUCH MATHS, SCIENCE OR CHINESE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

That is SO AWESOME. Remember the days when I used to moan and groan about dy/dx, covalent and ionic bonding shit, and CI DI WU YIN SAN BAI LIANG - BU DA ZHI ZHAO. (that was some random phrase which came to my mind) Yeah. and all that shit.

Don't. Ever. Need. To. Touch. Them. Again. =)

phew

watchmen is like sososo vehvehveh AWESOMESXZ.

I must watch "drag me to hell" soon.

Had ITB Group Presentation, and Mr Tan said my Excel part on Student Distibution by Regions through the utilization of the Pivot Table was totally AWESOMESXZ. Ok lah, he didn't exactly say that. In fact, he commented that it was rather plain.

Hmm.

God, there's just SO MUCH TO DO, and so little time to spare.

Sigh.

Transformers.. again

I swear. Totally hatesxzz.

Today, was Andreas's 17th birthday!

happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to andreas
happy birthday to you

Sorry I didn't have an actual physical present to give to you, but I'm sure you appreciated the fun, peace, laughter and joy I brought with my presence today. Anyway, it's the thought that counts right? =)

Fanwei, Nic Wong, Junwei, Chinfung, Andreas and I met up at Mr Prata for lunch, and headed to Cineleisure after that for some car action. Despite my utmost protests, they were quite insistent on watching Megan Fox. Sigh. I can't believe I really gave in and spent (a shocking) ten dollars on a
movie I'd already watched! Haiz. But never mind I guess, since Andreas wants to watch it, I'm fine with anything.

After the long and predictable movie, we went over to Novena's Velocity, where Andreas made a contribution to the children cancer patients of Singapore through his kind and altruistic action of paying $30 for a skin head hair style. *cough* Quite interesting I guess, but you'd have to kill me first, because no way I'm going to voluntarily shave my hair bald. Unless it's for National Service of course.

Lmao. Reminded me of my primary school days. =) So cute. Me when I was young, I mean. =p

After being drenched in the rain, from which I think I'll be really sick tomorrow, we (excluding chinfung) headed to Nic Wong's nearby coffeeshop to have dinner. There was quite an interesting spectacle, when Fanwei and Chinfung started to fight at the Raffles Place MRT Station. I was a victim of Chinfung's jokes too, but Fanwei really took it to heart, and that's when things started ugly.

Kinda reminded me of the epic battles between Fanwei and Chinfung during the days of 4b1'08. The fight for the world wrestling championship title never fails to entertain me.

Oh, and apparently now Weilong wants to quit Dota because his Centaur Warchief lost to my Zeus. =) Haha. So interesting. =p Credits to my totally awesome teammates lah seriously. Ahaha

Haji Lane

Haji Lane is totally awesome. I swear.

Today, I went to eat 火锅 with Chujie, Mathias, Kahyan, and Yvonne. It was.. great to catch up with them and spamming the beef simply reminded me of the good times at weilong's house. Lol. And I discovered a new type of beverage today, named Tsing Tao. Kinda like Jolly Shandies in terms of alcoholic content (in example, 5%), and it's less bitter than Tiger or Heineken. Totally cool.

We headed to Haji Lane, where the Egytian restaurant was the order of the day. I think Shisha is totally awesome. Lol. Especially when you get to exhale through the nostrils. Ok it sounds gross when described in words, but in reality its fucking awesome.

I think I'm screwed. More specifically, my logic is freaking screwed. I'd try shisha, but I won't touch cigarattes for my life.

Anyway. Apple mint is nice. Lol.

Went to Starbucks, where I enjoyed their Signature Hot Chocolate drink. Think I learnt quite alot about makeup and waxing there. Zz.

Friday, July 3, 2009

It's over.. for now

Today, I had my Introduction to Communication Principles test. I thought it didn't go very well, and hope that Miss Trudy would be oh-so-kind as to mark me a wee bit more leniently.

On the bright side, ICP is over at last! Now to look forward to ITB's Excel ICA and IMW's CA2. :)

Spent the entire day mugging like some nerd for a test which comprises 30% of the overall module. And even so, I wasn't confident at all. Nothing interesting happened.

Went to dinner at Sumo (again) with Fanwei, Junwei, Nic Wong, Jason and Chunming. Felt pretty bad that I didn't go play pool with them, but when push comes to shove, even if you're a god at pool, you still need to pay up. That's the cruel world for you.

Geez.

Salvation

I is fucked.

I swear. Oh god, please save me from the fiery pits of hell. Salvation from the impending Judgement Day. And the day I truly become bankrupt.

Today, I went to watch Transformers- Revenge of the Fallen at Jurong Point. It was.. awesome. I swear. Although I don't remember much of the plot, because from the beginning till the end, the action never stops. Always moving, always shooting, always fighting, the scene changes from the relative peace to earth shattering climax in a lightning quick pace. Which was pretty good, considering how it kept me glued to the screen, enraptured.

A word of warning. Megan Fox's assets are seductive. She wasn't voted the "Sexiest Women in the World in 2008" by the FHM readers for nothing.

Overall, I think the movie was super awesome, and it's definitely worth it, because it's three hours of non-stop action pack scenes, and GV's seats are comparatively comfortable.

Possibly the only downside is that after staring at the huge screen for an hour or two, you'd start to get these headaches. Don't worry, nothing a Panadol can't solve.

School was terrible. Had a terrible time adjusting back to the timetable, and lectures were oh-so-boring. Not to mention Photoshop skills were largely deproved.

God damn it. There is an ICP test on friday. Such depressing news.

Weirded Out

God. I just had the weirdest two days of my life. Wow. God really knows how to play tricks on people. Just when i though I've seen everything he has got to churn out, he comes out with another trick up his baggy and voluminous sleeve.

I SWEAR.

FUCK THIS SHIT.

________________________________________________________

Tomorrow is the start of the new term. A fresh start, coupled with a few common tests thrown in, is the perfect way to begin school life. Oh, and add the fact that there is NO EXTRA WEEK OF HOLIDAYS?!

Life sucks so much, it can't possibly get worse. Thank god I'm in a Polytechnic.

Need more time to Prototype. Need more time to sleep. Need more money.

Sigh.

The irony of life- such that every single moment of our life is filled with how to satisfy our materialistic needs. And not do something constructive, like "Studying", for instance. Then again, who needs to study when you've got a full range of games in your personal computer. A whole gamut of games, so much so that you can't decide which one you play first. And after all that, you end up playing everything, but completing nothing.

Like last thursday, I was at the Ctwinds Band Camp. I am not too sure why I was there. After all, most of the Secondary 4s have stopped attending practices, and truth to be told, I'm not really close to the other members.

So there I was, with Darrin and Melvin, (rus didnt come, unfortunately.) feeling damn old suddenly, because it's my first band camp that I attended without participating in it. As I watched them play Double Whacko, and Water Balloons, I'm suddenly reminded of the previous band camps that I had. And the foot drills just made me grin, because I remember all that sweaty times we had under the hot sun. And the dreaded "samula". god, those were good times man.

Now, we go for cheap thrills such as "oh, that girl is so hot, she makes me melt inside"

and the not so cheap thrills such as "play poker at ____ house", which I really dread now, because of late, my luck is really terrible.


Should probably get to bed soon.

Saturday, June 20, 2009

Pool.. Again?

Haha. Pool today was fun, with me partnering Junwei. Lol. Wah seh, Junwei's pool skills really not bad sial. Lol.

Went to dinner with Chunming, Fanwei, Junwei and Nicholas Wong at Macdonald's where we saw quite a few familiar faces. Headed to the West Coast Recreation Centre, where we met up with Boris and Anthony (who had apparently been waiting there for quite some time. Lmao) and proceeded to have a great deal of fun. :)

Yes lah, we won two games! ^^ Those poor souls who dared to challenge us met with their unfortunate fate. But it's ok. In a game, there can never be two winners. LOL.

Damn happy now. Just had an exciting in house match, where Yours Truly's Syllabear was owning!

I SWEAR.

At the top lane, Anthony (who was the Chaos Knight) and I, faced off against Weilong (who was the evil Lucifer trying to solo two stunners) and we proceeded to control the entire lane, because whenever we saw a certain Doom Bringer, we proceeded to harrass him like no other, forcing him to be unable to farm.

As Clins says, a Weilong who cant farm is a very unhappy Weilong, and what's more, my Spirit Bear was so godlike, only because it's stun rate is about, oh, 90% of the time.

End game with 8-1-10, Boots, Mekanism, Sange and Yasha and two Bracer for the good ol' Syllabear, and Power Threads, Radience for Spirit "Monster" Bear.

Good times.
Lol.

Shopping

Today, I went shopping with Chunming and Weilong. I didn't have any money to spend. FML.

Headed to Chunming's house, where he proceeded to drag me to Hair Vintage for a supposed "hair-trimming" session. This is where the cue for Nicholas to pay $12 kicks in. I swear, my hair doesn't look any different from before. I don't actually know why people invent the term "trimming". Perhaps it is just another elaborate scam cooked up by all the hairdressers in the world in order to cheat young, innocent boys of their hard earned money. Just another conspiracy.

Sigh. Anyway. Point is, money is hard to come by, and I should stop splurging. Soon. Damn it, holidays are absolutely annoying.

Out of the kindness of my heart, or rather, the stupidity of it, I decided to accompany them to Far East Plaza, where we had hours of fun had a tough time dissecting through the mountainous variety of clothes, shoes, bags, belts, and many other unidentifiable items. More specifically, they did. I basically stoned.

Walked over to Wisma Atria, where they oogled at the o-so-desirable-yet-so-fucking-expensive Topman clothes.

I swear, I HATE shopping.

Gah.

Tanglin Hostel

The Tanglin Hostel- Stay for free. At a price.

Today, Chin Fung, Wei Long, Ivan, Anthony, Zhibin, and I went to the Tanglin Hostel, where we experimented with the supernatural. It was a pretty eye-opening experience I guess. This was nothing like the Singapore Polytechnic Night Walks, but yet, still bear certain similar characteristics to them. You're addicted to the cheap thrills, but at the same time, you don't fucking wish for anyone to jump at you from behind that dark and creepy corner.

We went to the wrong location at our first try, and I got pretty annoyed at that because it made me all worked up for nothing. Imagine, the atmosphere is tense, and everyone is literally crawling with anticipation for something to pop out, but when we got to the dilapidated house, we saw... a sports car. A Porsche, to be exact. It's extremely anti-climax, and somehow, we felt cheated, because we'd braved Tetanus from the rusty old metal gate for nothing. Not just once, but twice.

Another phone call determined the correct location after we exited the place, where we took a breather, and discussed our options as to whether we should continue with our adventure. We did. This particular hostel was particularly scary, even from outside. The fencing was broken down in many places, and the entire compound was drenched in darkness. Fortunately though, the night offered sufficient light, which was able to illuminate the path. Inside, though, it was a different story. First of all, there were many debris lying about. In example, glass, wood, and such. The entire place was literally collapsing. It was hard to walk anywhere withough stepping on something which made a sickening "crunch" sound.

Secondly, it was stiffling inside the hostel. Literally suffocating. It was compounded by the intense fear everyone felt, and I swear, it's like a continuous stream of salty perspiration which continously flow down your cheeks.

The compound was huge, and badly defaced. Vandalism was everywhere, and often, we saw symbols which most likely were Satanic in origin. There were five stories, and we explored each level cautiously.

It was a pretty.. enriching experience I guess. You learn to stick with your friends, and understand the concept of "safety in numbers".






















































































At the end of a long and tiring, but eventful expedition to the Tanglin Hostel, at the bus stop before heading home.

Pictures taken and uploaded by Ivan Ngoh.

I swear, I don't know how the girls do it. We boys posed for six photos, and already, we can't be bothered to take more. But the girls! They cam-whore for hours.. and never seem to tire. Different poses each time too.

CTSS Barbeque

A round of Daidee before the start of the barbeque. Clockwise, at the casino table, Weilong, Me, Clins and Changwen.















Another round of Daidee before the start of the barbeque. Clockwise, Weilong, Me, Clins, Changwen and Fanwei.















Gg, OWNING. Taken after huge intakes of Vodka. Consumed PURE. From left, Me, Chunming and Clins.















Another shot at a proper photograph of the three of us. I swear, if we'd properly rationed the limited Sprite resources, we MIGHT have been less knocked out. From left, Me, Chunming, and Clins.

-Photographed and uploaded courtesy of Lai Chunming, who was knocked out on the night of Sunday, 14th June 2009, when he started singing random chinese songs, and wouldn't stop giggling to himself.-

The CTSS (cliques) Barbeque was pretty successful I guess. Apart from the considerably little amount of food wastage, and the fact that we were all pretty damn high at the end of the exceptional nightmare of a logistics event (for me at least), I think I really enjoyed myself. The booze helped. A bit.

Though everything pretty much went downhill from there, when I lost $8 at poker. Which was rather.. emotional. But you have to understand my predicament. I'd been spending money throughout the entire week. I'd spent close to $60 on the barbeque, AND I ONLY GOT HALF OF IT BACK. The eight dollars was like a slap to my face.

Let's not even talk about the injuries. I have absolutely no idea how I got them. I swear. Mun choon tells me I also got ran over by a car. Credits to mun choon though, he is a pretty damn good friend, after he helped me dress my wound(s) (which hurt like hell.),promise to help take care of my bike till wednesday, and allow us to ton over at his house.

Oh, and let us review more of his *ahem* Harry Potter movies. Theoretically.

Like a fucking icing on the cake, the hangover was like a final insult to me. I swear. And it wasn't even those type of "oh, I feel so fucked, my head feels like a bomb" type of hangover. It was the "zzz. emo-nemo, I don't feel like talking to anyone, fuck the world, it sucks." type of hangover. Also known as, the emotional hangover. Sigh.

Oh god, I need some sleep.

Pool

Lmao.

Went to watch the guys play pool at West Coast Recreation Centre. It was.. pretty hilarious lah. Lol. I swear, the one thing that stuck to my mind- Icefrog's latest creation: Doha 6.61- Taj Mahal. For Fanwei only. Lmao.

Did Oral Communication project work today for a couple of hours, after saxophone sectionals got screwed by a miscommunication. Oh well.

Band camp next week.. fortunately no over night though. (:

Excel

Ownage.

HOLY NONSENSE.

WAH YES LAH I FINALLY FINISHED EXCEL ASSIGNMENTS.

DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I FUCKING HATE EXCEL?!

God damn it!


And(Life sucks, I am tired)

Thursday, June 11, 2009

happy :)

Yes! Haha. Once in a blue moon of opportunity of winning Clins.

Haiz. They don't call me the "TIDEHUNTER GOD!" for nothing! hahaha. =p




















Ok lah, I must admit. It wasn't a fair fight at all, mainly because:

a) I had five persons gold. LMAO.

b) Strength versus Agility is not really a fair fight bah. Although he IS ranged and I'm melee.

c) Spamming Gush really damn pain, when you come to think about it.

(:

_______________________________________________________


Holidays so far has been pretty. Ahem. Boring. Band every other day, in preparation for IBM, and CASS Club holds regular meetings as well.

Although this few days were pretty interesting. Yesterday was lunch at Mos Burger with clins, fanwei and chinfung, while today was to Swenson's, where we sampled their one for one deal. I swear, it's not bad at all. At the end, we even got to test their ice creams for their student deals which included ANY two sundaes for just $9.90. Changwen joined in the fun. Heh.

I tried the Mega Burger, and the Sticky Chocolate (Monster) Sundae. I swear, the Mega Burger is REALLY HUGE. As in, you literally can't even bite the whole burger even if you opened your mouth to the maximum. Believe me, it's tried and proven. And it's pretty cheap too. Like $7++. Including the ginormous Sticky Chocolate Sundae, which is absolutely delicious and sinful, the total came up to $13. WHICH is a damn good deal already, considering how we ate till we could feel the food rolling about inside (meaning, it's about to come out soon, if we continued the madness.)



Still damn happy. :D

Mr Goh

I am telling you, Mr Goh fucking owns. I swear.

Goh Hwee Chuan wants all his students to memorise the value of π, as it will be set as a 10 mark question in the 'O' Levels. It is approximately 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 after truncation to 50 decimal places.

I bet he memorised that lah. He's probably like the next Pythagoras. Like Pythagoras Junior. It's freaking scary, but at the same time, it's damn cool. Whew. Thank god I don't have to touch Maths ever again in my entire life.

Sunday, June 7, 2009

Aesthetics Concert

Wah I'm damn happy. Won three games in a row! Whoo! It's 3 a.m., should I go for another round? LOL.

Hmm anyway, today was the aesthetics concert at RP. Darrin, Melvin, Rus, Charissa and I met at the Causeway Point to consume some PastaMania. Which was pretty expensive, because when my 8.20 Meatball Spagetti was added with some combo, it totalled to like $12.20. I am going to be broke.

Then it was off to the fancy pancy Republic Polytechnic, where we attended the "Ikebana!" Aesthetics Concert. Basically, Ikebana refers to flowers. So, yeah. In the concert, they tried to link everything to the different types of flowers. Such as daisies, and um. Daisies. Yeah. The effect was that it make things a tad bit more interesting I guess.

Hmm. The band. I realised what I said yesterday was probably a little harsh, but today's scene was really.. upsetting. To say the least. I mean, obviously, there was some misunderstandings going on, and perhaps certain parties over reacted, but.. hmm. I am not sure what to make out of it. All I know is that the current administration has a different style of carrying out their operations, and for better or for worse, Ctwinds is going to be stuck with them for quite some time.

When I saw Charissa break down.. I swear my heart when out to her. I had a pretty hard time controlling my emotions, and for my part, I felt angry at the stupid world, the screwed up society, and life in general. Especially when I think about how much effort she has put in for the band in the past four years. To deny her of the opportunity to play in her last concert.. now that, THAT, is the most crushing demoralisation any one can ever deal to her. It is an assault that stabs not at the body, but straight, like a dagger, to the heart. Possibly this is the most traumatising event one can ever face. Scarred for life, you might say.

And yet! Communication is so, SO important. From this fiasco, that's the one thing I've learnt. Whether verbal, or non-verbal, the things we do, the decisions we make, do HAVE an impact on other people. Whether we realise it or not.

That said, it felt weird to be sitting with the audience seat. Listening from the spectator's perception, and participating through the enjoyment of the music. I felt.. old. Grown up. Matured. No longer the kid in brown long pants (ctss's uniform). It wasn't too long ago I was proud to call my self a Ctwinds Sexyphonist. Now, I'm just "the old boy". Pretty sad, really.

But that's life I guess. We grow up, and we move on. Or risk being left behind.

Hence, I think I've decided to say, "Fuck it", and stop being so nostalgic.

Is my nostalgia going to make things better? No.
Can I go back in time? No.
Can time turn back for me? No.

Holidays make me feel weird.

There's too much time to spare. Haiz.

nerds

Taken by a very nice lady at the MacDonald's who particularly enjoyed the word "Enjoy". Though I must admit, it is true. Enjoy life while we can, because it is only going to get worse later.















Hane is being all very touchy feeling touchy-touchy physically ever since she came back. o.o

(edited: Lmao. Rus is spot on about that.)

YES LAH. Holidays ARE HERE MAN. Like FINALLY. I have been waiting for this day for AGES. This past week has gone by excruciatingly slow. And I mean damn slow. Nerds. Even had to chiong ICP project on the last night.

School today was even worse. Came in late at 9.15 am, and Rajan STOPPED THE FREAKING CLASS AT 9.20 a.m. I CANNOT BELIEVE MY EARS WHEN HE SAID, "CLASS DISMISSED" at 9.20! WTF?!

Yeah. The rest of the day passed annoyingly slow as well. Everyone was a little panicky with the ICP Project that was due, but all is well that ends well. ITB was a tad bit hilarious as usual. Seriously, I can't imagine anyone hating Mr Tan. He is such a sweet old guy, with such a funny sense of humour. And he is retiring in like two or three years time! Yes lah, not in our batch can liao. Let the next batch of freshies suffer. (:

Headed to IMM with darrin quan next, where we met with hane and aishah and charissa, and proceeded to talk alot of nonsense.

THOUGH I FEEL SO AGITATED. WTF. The world is cruel, I'm telling you. It's cold, and unfriendly. It is never fair. Seriously, I think some conductors should reconsider their positions, and not abuse their authority. Some conductors should know where to draw the line, and not go overboard. I mean, for example, if a certain band is playing two songs, JUST LET EVERYONE PLAY LAH. WTF. WHY SO GIAM SIAP?! TWO SONGS ALSO DONT WANT TO LET PEOPLE PLAY. WTF. THEN JOIN BAND FOR FUCK. GO PRACTICE PCC?! PLEASE HOR. NERDS.

Seriously, sometimes, I think band is a waste of time. Especially when nonsensical things like this happen.

BULLSHIT.

Whatever. If things don't go pretty tomorrow, I SWEAR. I'll give the person in charge a piece of my mind. Nobody bullies my juniors and gets away with it.

PREPARE TO DAII YOU FOOLS.

wootsxz

GG.

Clinkz got a 1-1 score. Haha!

WE GOT THE RUSSY.

(who had a damn nice invoker btw :D)

LOL.

Credits also to Clins (aka Sven) with Threads+BKB+Aegis = gg all in one tanker/warder/stunner.

Kelvin (aka Huskar) the nerd CJC boy who THINKS he outfarmed and out-killed me. Haiz. Sad boy. Never mind. Since he is the hero of the game, I shall give him credit lah =p

And of course. The NICHOLAS TEO (aka god of dota aka excel legend aka Clinkz). He who strikes fears into the hearts of his enemies through his bony self! His very presence in the game inspires his teammates to do even better! YES. He owns, without a doubt.


_____________________________________________________

Today was CELEBRATION for Fanwei and Zhi Bin's Birthday! Happy advance 17th Birthday to Fanwei, and Happy belated 17th Birthday to ZhiBin! Vivo was.. pretty boring lah I must say. Seriously.

CB WEILONG OWES ME THREE DOLLARS. LOL. (I JUST REMEMBERED. HAHAHA.)

Apart from the movie that is

TERMINATOR SALVATION

was pretty cool lah. Haha. Lots of gunz and action, and the plot was a little confusing. GOOD IMPROVEMENT THOUGH! WE UPGRADED TO THE THIRD ROW! Own. Anything other than the GG first row.

Well, I should start on my Fundamentals of Marketing project soon.

LOL

CHUNMING SO VULGAR ARH?! HAHAHAHA.




















NICE LAH CLINS. WE OWN BUNNIES _l_

__________________________________________________

Zz. Emo. Damn nerd. The feeling of so near, yet so far. Haiz.

Band was fun lah! :D As in, seriously. Enjoyed myself, but the solo attempt was an epic fail. Gg, people seem to always have very high expectations of me, but for some reason, I just keep letting them down. I don't know why too. For some reasons (no surprise, actually.), it suddenly reminded me of the nerd Shenandoah in Secondary Four. Cb, the solo SO BLOODY easy, but when I try to play it, nothing comes out. Z. Emo. Nerd.

__________________________________________________

On a brighter note, though, I finished most of my projects. (: Design Basics totally owned. (Ok, actually I'm just hoping it would own, because I slept at like 3+ just to try to chiong it.) Though when I see some of my other classmate's work, I feel pretty inferior, because my pattern is like, so simple. ICP is almost done (Just need a few more points for my part of the project.) and I am left with tweaking the last slide for ITB's Individual Assignment.

O MAI GAWD, ONOW HOW?!

Sunday, May 24, 2009

Haha

Today at Weilong's house was.. fun! :D

Arrived at the meeting location PUNCTUALLY, but when I reached Vivo City, I saw.. NOBODY. Everybody was late! Wtf, and Weilong said, "4 pm NO LATE HOR". Cb. In the end, I waited, and waited, till like 4.30, AND WEILONG HIMSELF WASN'T EVEN THERE. -.-

Yeah, anyway, we spammed food at the Vivo Mart. In example, beef, chicken, crab sticks, pork, fishballs, meat balls, et cetera. Fanwei and Cf bought a $13 salmon. And in the end, to tell the truth, it wasn't exactly tasty. Not something I would spend $13 on.

Haha, damn epic. You would have laughed when you saw the lonely cabbage, surrounded with meats, in the huge shopping basket. And the best part was, when we got to the counter, we found out that we couldnt buy the cabbage, because they had a separate counter for vegetables.

Wl and his two other friends, Cf, Fw, Cw, Clins and I then took a bus to his house, where we turned it into a gambling den.

The steamboat itself was ownage; we had lots of fun lol.

Texas Hold Em was DAMN funny lol. Weilong, in an attempt to change his fortunes, took out his 2000 RMB Laughing Buddha, but appanrently it didnt take too kindly to being placed on the gambling table, and made him lose $20++. The two sheeps was damn funny also lah. Heh.

Gg, I won $45 in total.

Saturday, May 23, 2009

owned

A more proper post is called for, for what happened yesterday. Heh.

School was pretty much as usual ._. was a little "high-er" than usual due to the lack of sleep the day before, but managed to survive nonetheless. ITB was a LITTLE more fun, with GH3 on "Medium" for Through the Fire and Flames! Jiayou, Nicholas! :D God I love that song. <3 Haha, and yeah steph, all that clapping was pretty fun too. =p

Joel's party was. a. BLAST. it fucking owned lol. thanks to uncle and aunty, for their sumptous "rojak", key ingredients including Black Label, and Absolut, and other stuff in between which I don't really want to know. And damn it lah Mat finished the Baileys -.- Lol. I can't really remember how I got home lol, was pretty knocked out by then.

Actually, everybody was kind of knocked out. HAHA.

Sigh. What I'll give to go back to "O" Levels period? Probably everything. No fucking matter if it was shitty sometimes. Or actually 3/4 of the times. But for that 1/4 period, I'd repeat it over, and over, and over again.

HAHAHAHA HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY JOEL TAN. I LIKE TOTALLY ENJOYED MYSELF TODAY. :D

GG KNOCKED OUT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

i feel like a wreck. ):

this is sad. this is seriously sad. its RETRIBUTION.

_______________________________________________________

School has been terrible to me. ITB quiz was horrible, with me getting 80/120 marks. And I'm getting this nerve tingling feeling for IMW. You know, the premonition that disaster is looming around the corner. That's two modules out of six. How about ONOW? At the rate things are going, I'm not too optimistic.

Buck up, Nicholas.

Burn Out

CALMADO.

Band camp was PRETTY fun bah. Apart from the assault of flour, coffee, eggs, pungent perspiration, seemingly endless station games, it was actually enjoyable overall. And we got the Best Cheer award too! :D

"we are we are calmando
squash you like a tomato
mash you up like potato
wash our toe with komodo
make you emo like elmo
suck you dry like mosquito
while we slacking drink milo
acting like a commando!
go... CALMANDO"
-Copyrighted by Aniah, Nicholas Teo, Yu Zhi, Chong Xiang, Tze Yang, Griselda, Cecilia, Yu Bing, Moose, and Clement

they said "calmando" actually means "calm", but after searches on Google.com and Wikipedia.com churned out negative results, I have my doubts about it.

(p.s. further investigations revealed that "calmando" is indeed the spanish word for "calm". According to http://www.wordmagicsoft.com/dictionary/es-en/calmado.php, that is.)

Sigh. Damn tired. Slept through Sunday, but my body still feels burnt out. Rahh.

To add insult to the injury, there's still tons of projects to do (six in total, at the last count.), legions of assignments, and there is a CA1 IMW test coming up tomorrow. Which I *haven't really* prepared for yet.

Holy crap.

what the fuck.

I am not dead yet. That's a start.

The world has gone crazy.

a) Mas Selamat was caught. In Malaysia. ASLEEP?!
Dude, that's so anti-climax man. I mean, you'd expect a maniacal suicide bomber to probably blow himself up before he allows himself to get caught or something. But NO! He was caught.. ASLEEP.














b) I received this from Tang Chin Fung on Monday, May 11, 2009 at 3:46 PM. It was titled as "Important!"

As I skimmed through the long list of unfamiliar email address, mentally, I associated this to be yet another spam mail. I was right.

Seriously. If there was anything Mdm Yehidaah taught me in the four years of fucked life in secondary school, it was to make inferences from the sources and PEE on them.

Sunday, 25 February, 2001, 11:00 GMT -adapted from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1189119.stm

You don't have to read through the whole bullshit. I picked out the keywords for you.

"Sunday, 25 February, 2001, 11:00 GMT"

and

" fees could be introduced within 12 months. "

Point- The news article is bullshit
Evidence- This article has been released out into the cyberworld for close to a decade. Boys and girls, the year now is TWO-O-O-NINE.
Explanation- ITS FUCKING OBSOLETE . Whatever relevance this article had eight years ago does not matter now, because if MSN is going to start charging me each time I went online, IT WOULD HAVE STARTED A NONG, NONG, TYME AGO.

On the hindsight, it's pretty fucking funny how many people actually believed the hoax email.

So if next time I decided to go into the scamming industry, most likely the email I'd mass send to everyone would go a little something like this:

This is Nicholas, the new president of the United States. I would like to sincerely apologize for the interruption, but OSAMA BIN LADEN is going to bomb the Twin Towers. Again. I know many of these messages have been sent out lately, and that they wouldn't be true. However, this one is in fact true, and it will occur soon.

OSAMA BIN LADEN will bomb the Twin Towers soon. This is due to the fact that too many inconsiderate people are causing global warming, so he plans to speed up the destruction of Mother Earth. Therefore, we only have 578 days left to live. If you would like Osama Bin Laden, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON. We would not reccommend this, because if in the future you'd like to live, and you don't send this message on, you will be CHARGED to use the Earth monthly. If you would like to save the Earth then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. As we said this before, this is no joke, and we will be shutting down the servers. Please send it on. We do not want to be receiving phone calls stating that this is bullshit, or that you are being coerced into sending spam emails to the mass cohort - because this will be your fauly for not sending it on. The estimated cost for saving the Earth monthly will be about ten dollars CAN.

SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. NOW YOU
KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION. In case you believed this is yet another of those 'prank' emails, go to:

http://news. ccb.co.sg/ 1/hi/business/ 1189119.stm

Once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts, your balls will become blue.

Regards,
Nicholas
New President of the United States

Retribution

Gg, I have lumps on my fucking neck.

And I am not even joking about it.

Let me just describe them. They are small. They are round. AND THEY DON'T BELONG ON MY FUCKING NECK.

God damn it. Goodbye, cruel world.

WAH CB

FUCK IT. I'M NOT GOING TO PLAY TOWER DEFENSE EVER AGAIN IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

HAHA.

TD SUCKS BALLS.

End of story.

School

I own lah. Like, seriously.



Sian. There it goes. A short May Day holiday, but a holiday nonetheless. I had a good time, but it's time to look forward to SP!!! Can't wait to get back to it's quirks and eccentricities. Lmao. Yups.

Anyway. I seriously want to watch XMen- Wolverine. Can't believe I spent $10 watching a movie (Fast and Furious 4 ; at Vivo City) that I didn't really want to watch in the first place. On Labour Day, no less. DAMN IT.

But on a less biased note it's not too bad lah. They could improve on the story line- half the time the cast was zipping around in ungodly F1 cars, screaming unintelligible noises at the top of their lungs. However, it's still quite exciting bah.

I think the worse part was not about the storyline though. Now, believe me, when I say it ABSOLUTELY SUCKS BALLS when you're sitting in the front row of a cinema. Don't believe all that bullshit about it allowing you to feel the action in the movie. After approximately two hours of craning your neck and adjusting your level in the seat to find a more comfortable spot, AND coupled with the first symptoms of a headache looming, it's not a really nice experience at all.

Fucking unlucky.


Asdf. Got to stop patronising places such as these:














Superdog @ Vivo City

I think I'll stick to 7/11 hotdog sandwiches. For $10, I got to "enjoy" a Chicken Ripper, a box of pork infused fries, and a small Iced Lemon Tea. Damn it. I don't know about other people, but $10 for hotdogs is not something I'd spend on a regular basis, even if I have to admit it's not that bad tasting at all.

Gg, damn tired. Hate the MSN transfer speed. Sucks balls.

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Tired.

Zzz.
















Clinston's personal favourite. Mine as well. Hahahahahaha!










Today, I went to eat ramen. No, not just any normal ramen, but Ajisen Spicy Tom Yam Ramen at Takashimaya! It cost all of $12.85, inclusive of a side dish and a cup of ice water. It's.. tasty lah. But probably not something I plan on doing often. Ended up being late for Miss Lai's IMW class, which makes me feel guilty.








And we visited the Aston's Specialities at the Cathay after school, where I tested their Black Pepper Chicken, seasoned fries, and ice water, for $6.50. It's actually quite sumptuous and value for money lah. Heh. The chicken came with two other complementary side dishes, and I picked the mashed potatoes and Tasty Rice. Lol.

Had a great time today, and I think I really enjoy the company of newfound classmates. (:

Monday, April 27, 2009

SHAKE IT.

VERSUS

















Facebook's Guitar Geek is so nerd lah. TSK. I only support genuine products- GUITAR HERO FTW.

On the other hand, Chain Reaction IS very addictive. Hahahahaha!




Having second thoughts about many things now. For one, Singapore Polytechnic sells Left4Dead at $52! Irresistibly tempting. For another, Band seems to be a very, very, very gloomy thought.

OWNED.

WAHWAHWAHWAHWAH!

















Everyone, please say "HI!" to Mr Melon!














Isn't he just adorable?

:D

Saturday, April 25, 2009

DAMN IT.

FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Immensely aggravated now. GAH. Lesson learnt- Never play Dota at full performance whilst relying on battery power alone. Damn it. The bloody Pitlord was going to to get his Radiance when *BLANK* goes the screen.

*screams a multitude of vulgarities*




I SHALL PREVAIL IN PHOTOSHOP. JUST WAIT AND SEE.

Southpark!

Southpark owns. Seriously.

My school bag is starting to weigh down on me. I'd happily carry my Asus around with me everywhere I go (Battery, adapters, mouse, the whole works.) , but when I got to bring along my textbooks (which weigh a ton.) and my lecture notes (one whole stack of them.), it is GODLY HEAVY.

IT'S ONLY THE FIRST WEEK GOD DAMN IT.

And the heat! Oh don't get me started on the heat. It FUCKING OWNS. I mean, as soon as I step out of the lecture hall/classroom, the HEATWAVE turns SP into a bloody desert! Seriously. It. Is. Sweltering. Blistering. Suffocating. The vocabulary is not exhaustible.

And have I mentioned how SP is like one fucking labyrinth? Ok, I got used to that more or less. CASS and SPSU camps helped to a certain extent. But it doesn't help that it takes like twenty minutes to walk from one end to another. Damn bloody tiring just to travel around.

Argh.

Thursday, April 23, 2009

Holy crap

Everyday should be a Thursday, because I get to sleep till 11.30, and that owns.

School rocks, because I got funny lecturers. Which perks things up, even if the lessons are essentially technical in nature. Take Information Technology in Business for instance. I learned how to use Hotmail today. Seriously.

Still have no idea how PhotoShop works.

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

Lewis's house is totally ghey. If I had the finances to taxi to and from school EVERYDAY, and have a whole range of ownage games at home, and EVEN a personal gym of my own, I'd say "Fuck it", quit school, stay at home and totally ROT.

With three guitars, a microphone, and a drumset, it's a fking gig dude.

And that's only Guitar Hero that we "tested". Damn.

Oh, did I mention? He has a German Shephard names "Hitler".

Gg.

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Assignments!

Assignments! After six months.. I finally have something to call... HOMEWORK! *GASP* And I'm actually happy about it! Haha!















Nigel, Yours Truly, Lina and Benedict, from the class of DMC/1A 05, posing at a dinghy carpark in the supposedly renowned Mediacorp. Now you may be wondering why the fking carpark, of all places in Caldecott.

I have no idea as well.

Asdf. School rocks.

Okto LIVE was pretty gooood man. As in, apart from the fact that I had to like, stand for the duration of the show. Which kinda sucked, because I would have prefered to sit down. Chen weilian looks different life. Still inspirational, though. Steven Lim was.. extravagant. Flamboyant. He had muscles twice the size of mine, and Ben insinuated that they might be.. well. Artificially induced. I have to agree with him.

The loyal caller was.. interesting. Ron, I think. Exceptionally vocal and opinionated, but outwardly, he looked like your typical nerd. As in, SERIOUSLY. Turns out looks can be deceiving. (I already knew that.)

Okto Live, made by Singapore Polytechnic students, for Singapore. I think they seriously rock, because they are like DMC (Diploma in Media and Communication) students, and I support local productions. Hence, Singapore Poly students own Ngee Ann students, because we produced it, and we're on national tv. Hah. Beat that.

Moderate Irritation

WAH CB DAMN DULAN WTF IS WRONG WITH SYNAPTICS DAMN YOU! ARGH.



Never mind. I still love you, Asus.

Monday, April 20, 2009

FIrst Day

I think first day of school owns. Damn happy that lecturers are fun! Still think photoshop = gg, because I know nuts about it. Seriously, the Clementi Town computer mastery lessons a bit useless lol.













Haha! That was Fundamentals of Marketing... the first quiz. =x

Good game, tomorrow, from 8 to 9?

Sunday, April 19, 2009

Gg

Gg, the school term officially starts tomorrow. I should probably start sleeping early, or I'll never be able to wake up in time (as usual) to meet the guys for breakfast. Heh.

CTSS 2009 Carnival

Exhausted.

I think I am like, very lazy. I have so many things to say, but I can't seem to find the inspiration to write them out.

Anyway. The CTSS 2009 Carnival. Basically, two words. Boring- and hot. Not that I want to be biased, but it seemed to me that the 2007 Carnival was better. As in, more properly organised. I think it's the location and the weather. The event space was huge; stretching to cover almost the whole school (EXCEPT the parade square.). And of course, the day was blistering hot, which made it all the more worse.

I'd like to complain about the prices. I mean, seriously, they are EXORBITANT. And I feel scammed, because I bought two cups of diluted ribena at three dollars each. And the Snow Ice Cup was pretty lame lah. I mean, wtf. It's $4. -_-

Whatever. Left the school as quickly as I could, after spending finish the $10. A little disappointed, and I couldn't even bring myself to imagine that I'd spent that money for a good cause (i.e. donated it to the school needy students.) For all I know, I might have, but they didnt exactly say who the money went to.

Went to west coast recreation center and I don't feel like writing out the details, because it seems so.. routine. Oh, but on a note, Aloha's Left4Dead 3v4 match was awesome though. Me, wl and cm being the three that is. :D

Later, the guys paid homage to the newly renovated playground at my block, where they created a "helicopter" game. It's actually pretty fun lol, except for the inevitable dizziness that ensures. I bet once the court is ready, it's gg. Heh

Thursday, April 16, 2009

Zzz.

DMC/FT/1A/05 rocks. Seriously.

Flag Day was fun, apart from me being *ahem* considerably late. Yeah.

Damn tired now, but I think my class is like awesome.

FOP

The Freshman Orientation Programme (otherwise known as FOP.) was pretty successful. Can't find the inspiration to write more.



I feel sad.
):

Sunday, April 12, 2009

Your time starts NOW

Sad. After six months of holiday, play time is finally over. Time to pull together my act, and prepare myself for the mental assault and constant barrage of lights, sounds and action!

Nicholas Lim opined that thy's blog is unattractive. I shall try to find pictures, but I'm a really lazy person. Seriously.

FOWA

The Freshman Orientation Weekend Activity, otherwise known as FOWA.

There is only one word which describes it succinctly: "AWESOME!" Yes, it's pretty tiring IT IS GOD-DAMNED TIRING. Pretty much because yesterday (or rather today morning), we campers slept at a WHOOPS-ing 5 am! It's pretty amazing.

Anyway. Andreas and I met at 9.30 on the bus 106, where we discussed the convenience of our location. Like seriously. I mean, considering how some most of the people lived in the east. Or perhaps the North. Whatever.

First we participated in the SPSU Amazing Race! It was cool man. Heh. A lot of interesting activities, such as the Darlie Challenge, Blind-fold challenge, Bread challenge, and the "spot what's wrong" challenge. The rain spoiled everyone's plans though. Left Orchard soaked, with about three more stations uncompleted.

We had the Station games next. This was where we played the Human Fooseball.

Night walk was quite fun. Although personally, I felt that the CASS nighwalk was DA BOMBZ, SPSU's Nightwalk definitely had a "Uniqlo" (aka unique) concept to it, where instead of just trying to scare the shit out of you, they made you use your brains to uncover crpytic clues and shady motives by the "who-dun-it" culprits.

Slept for about three hours before we went for our Tele match.

I think camps are meant to be relished in our minds only. Somehow, I feel that writing about how fun/exciting/interesting camps were as post reflection isn't very effective. It just doesn't feel the same. Or maybe it is just because I am utterly knocked out.

Yawn.

"FOWA ROCKS."

Broke

No seriously. This time, it's for real. I am a BANKRUPT. Sigh.

Went to dye hair today. And I though I don't regret it, I seriously think I may have been A LITTLE rash in deciding the colour. Lol. It's.. well. Mocha colour. It's a little hard to describe in words, but I'll try anyway. Under insufficient light, it appears to be black. However, under fullblown sun light/ artificial light, it's like. Hmm. Light brown. Yeah.

Went to Vivo City next, where Ivan and I became advisors for Cm. It's pretty fascinating how his finance never seem to end, so I made it my personal goal to (urge him to buy) see how much expensive goods/treatments it would take before he declared himself as bankrupt as the rest of the civilisation.

I swear, if going to Ngee Ann's Mass Comm meant that I had to spend (change myself) half as much as him in order to fit in with the rest of the cohort, I'd say "Fuck it." and stick with Singapore Polytechnic's Media and Communication instead.

Thursday, April 9, 2009

I'm broke.

Financially speaking, of course. If only this is an all expenses paid holiday.. I would be a lot richer by now. Sigh. Today was a particularly heart wrenching day. Decided (with peer pressure, no less.) to go to the newly extended Tampines Mall with Zc and Cm. Should I have stuck to my guns, I would be happily playing Spore on F6Ve now, gobbling up microscopic creatures in order to grow fat. Sigh. Woe betide me.

Anyway. We went to patronise this store- Uniqlo. It is apparently a Japanese cum American inspired design clothes retailer, recently opened for business, which will explain it's Opening Stallwide Promotion; and also the massive crowds which snaked all the way from the entrance to the toilets. Yes, it is that huge a turn out. After waiting in line for a considerable amount of time to enter the shop (yes, we had to wait so long just to enter the shop. And yeah, there were more fools behind us who waited equally long), we had to methodically search through the entire shop to find the best buys. And I couldn't rely on those two, because apparently our tastes differ greatly.

Managed to find a Dragon inspired (Haha! I have a particular affinity with dragons, don't I. =p) Japanese design tee shirt, apparently from an acclaimed artist, and a simple "proclamation" tee shirt (those with just words on, not much designs included.). Each for a respectable amount of $19.90. Was a bit disappointed that the tee shirt which really caught my eye (also from the Jap artist.) was out of stock.

But that wasn't the end of it. Even as we had chosen the clothes we wanted, we STILL had to queue to enter the fitting room in order to try the clothes. And let me tell you, that was no mean feat. We stood at the same spot for AGES, and YET, there were people taking their own sweet time to try out the clothes. It was positively aggravating. However, the attitude of the staff of Uniqlo is commendable, as despite the heavy turn out, they were agonisingly polite and courteous, and went out of their way to provide assistance to the customers, even going to the extent of repeatedly apologising for the long waiting times. Various calling outs of "Welcome to Uniqlo!" was also pleasant. Fortunately, payment was pretty efficient, and they utilised every single counter they had (Which of course is a good thing lah. Who wants to be slow when it comes to handling customers.)

Went for "high tea" at Macs, before ending off the long (and tiring) day exploring the rest of Tampinese Mall.

Lol. I have come to a conclusion. For information technology related issues, Clinston is more reliable. As for fashion, however, Zachary has the upper hand. Haha. I'd learnt to make the fine distinction between the two of them when each started telling me different stories.

Should I, or should I not dye my hair. Haiz. Considering the losses- hair loss, money loss, natural hair colour loss. And the gains- new hair colour, new experience. In all circumstances, the cons out weigh the pros, and a rational person would never willingly (or otherwise) damage his hair roots. This question deserves a more thorough debate. Sigh.

Exhausted

I am so proud of myself. Today is a day of achievement- a day to remember! I forced myself to go to the horrifying gym.. and swim after that! What a dreaded combination.

Met Andreas at like 10, (BECAUSE SOMEONE COULDN'T WAKE UP.) and we walked (to save on transport fees, of course.) to the Clementi Sports Stadium. I have to confessed something here- out of the entire sixteen years of my life, I never once stepped into (nor knew the existence of) the Clementi Gym. Hence, it was a rather pleasant surprise to know that there's actually a gym (conveniently) located so near to my house. Headed over to the swimming pool after that (just a stone's throw away from the Sports Stadium) and swam for a good while, till like twelve.

I am not abashed to admit that I am hideously out of shape. As a matter of fact, I haven't entered a gym in like two months. The last time I jogged (with Shaun) was approximately three weeks ago. And don't even even talk about swimming. If memory serves, I think it may have been like many, many months before, when I went swimming in Mc's condo swimming pool. =/

Oh well.

Then we went to play pool, where I *ahem* lost to Andreas by a narrow margin. (in example: 2-1) As in, one black ball. Strictly speaking, it wasn't fair lor, cause he played cheat soooooo many times. Tsk. Lol anyway it was a pretty good game lah. Then went lan-ing with Zac, Mc, Cm, (and Cm's friend. Damn I forgot his name. Um. I think it was William. =x) Ivan, and Cf.

[edit: the name of chunming's friend is Matthew.]

Super bored.

Post Configuration in SP

Went for Post Configuration in SP today. Damn crazy, the wait was seriously interminable. It required patience.. lots of it. Haha.

Still think Asus is sex.

(:

Seoul Garden

Went to Seoul Garden today with Yirong, Clins, Fanwei, Ivan and Chinfung. I must impress on the total ingenuity of the whole concept. After all, it is not often that we get to cook things ourselves- most of the time it's served up to us on a silver platter (Not literally, just a metaphor.) And it's cheaper than Sakae Sushi! Haha. Apparently thats the only reason why Clins went. Heh.

Had camp briefing today, and it turned out to be a disguise for ice breakers. Guess they didnt want to waste time on such things during the camp itself. But it was quite ok bah. Met some cool dudes, sexy girls. Heh. Hope it will turn out to be as fun as the recently concluded (and pretty successful) CASS camp. Went to Clins house after that, where he introduced me to this really sexed game called Spore. It's your basic Pacman concept- with a more interesting and exciting presentation. I am so going to download it. Lol.

Then it was Causeway Point, where we spammed beef and chicken and prawns and fishballs and other unidentifiable meats. Haha. Enjoyed myself there. Thing about all the cooking, though, is that it leaves you feeling all sticky and smelly. The ensuing residue of pungent scent (and breathe) is not something I would like to experience often. Heh.

At about five, Charissa messaged me about the good news of Ctwinds achieving the Silver Award for the 2009 Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Central Judging Competition. I think they really tried their best and went for it, and definitely, I'm like super proud of them. (:

Asus is sex.

Sunday, April 5, 2009

There is no time like a present

Thanks Fanwei, Nicholas Wong (brother!), Junwei, Andreas, Yirong and (I think) Chinfung, for the (extremely) belated birthday present. I have no idea why you thought of couple watches, and I have no idea who the other pair was meant for, but thanks anyway. :D

The PS2 work out for fingers was brilliant. Heh. Bleach owns. (: Went for dinner at Mos after that, and I think Fw is very "Lol".

Asus is sex.

Rah

Wow so many events happened lately. For one, I haven't written about the CASS camp which I just came back from, like two days ago. Or that I haven't written about my new and sexy Asus F6Ve. It's really awesome, and there's so many unique and fascinating functions that I can't stop playing with it. (:

First things first, CASS camp was.. hmm. Pretty interesting. At the very least, I enjoyed myself and made some new friends who are in the same course as me (DMC). Also, although the Blue team, otherwise known as Perverted Ultraman was not in the top three, I think we are still like DA BOMBZ. Seriously. (: Lots of activities, most of which I won't go into detail. A few memorable activities were the Night Walk (boy, that one was crazy.) the Scavanger Hunt and the Amazing Race. Overall, I think it was a pretty successful camp!

I THINK MY ASUS IS LIKE SEX. OMG.

For some reason I can't find any inspiration to write further. Sigh. The looming school term is like so depressing. =/

MY TIMETABLE IS ASDF. Wtf.

Friday, March 27, 2009

Boring

Didn't do much today, except going to Cm's house to collect a CD, and heading to Singapore Polytechnic to submit the financial statements (or something like that). I finished writing all the Notes tagged by Yensze and Yanwah though! Very happy. There's a sense of accomplishment. LOL.

Sigh. Life sucks when you have no money. If only money dropped from the sky.

):

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Tired

Wow. I just finished writing just TWO notes and already I am exhausted. Yanwah's tag was relatively simple, but Yensze's tag was particularly pesky. Heh. As in, there was alot of questions to navigate through, and I have to scroll up and down the screen just to answer them. Lol.

Went Aloha AGAIN (May I add, for the third consecutive time.) with Cm and wl. I have nothing to say. It is really plain to life lol. But desperate situaitons demand for desperate measures, and since I have no intention to stay at homeand rot (pretty loner-ish attitude too) I went to Aloha for hours of endless fun. At a price of course. Sigh. There is nothing we can't do to make our money worth it's value. Lol. But I think if we keep this up, we can definitely break even the membership fee. Lol. Paid alot less than the non members ( boris, ivan ) Heh. Dota and Left4Dead owns when you're playing with friends. And when you're owning, of course. Though without Clins, the team definitely had a little *ahem* lost of confidence. Heh.

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Street Fighter- The Legend of Chunli

Today was movie outing day.Met with Clins and Chunming for lunch, then we headed to Jurong Point. We were suppose to meet at three, butwe arrived at about three thirty. Lol.

I must proclaim; It's inordinately interminable when you're trying to find an ATM, but no matter how hard you search, you can't find one. Happened to me at Vivo and Funan, so it was like de jav at Jurong Point. Have you experienced the helplessness when you cant find an ATM? That's what I felt. When you don't need them, they are everywhere. When you DO need them, they are now where to be found. Sigh. Such is the paradox of life.

Went to watch Street Fighter- The Legend of Chunli after a passionate argumentdebate. Cm, Clins and I put our foot down against Dragonball Evolution, but they were adament on watching it. Lol. In the end, everyone reached a compromise on Chunli lol.

I must whine here. It is annoying how Clins always manages to scam people. I mean, for a drink at the cinma, which costs $2.80, he had to scam the uncle of a dollar. Sigh. Singaporeans these days. But of course, the uncle was to blame for his poor mental mathematical calculations.

The movie was pretty good overall. Lazy to do a more detailed review. Lol everyone was complaining about how ridiculous the movie ended after that. Heh. But it was seriously a little weird lah, and it definitely could be improved.

Went crazy and we chionged to Aloha (me clins wl and cm) for another few more hours of gaming fun. Heh. Then we headed off for late night supper (our dinner, actually) at McDonald's. Cm said he got home at about 12 (so did I) and Clins almost missed the last train. Fortunately, he managed to reach it just in time I think, with the help of some fancy footwork. He and wl probably reached home uber late. Haha.

Texas Holdem Poker

Lol Texas Holdem Poker is sex.

I managed to go from zero to hero (most literally) on my first try. Wtf. Haha. My financial assets grew from $0 to $13000 in my first try. And I promoted myself on the status bar from the forty fifth position to the sixth position.

I am godly. LOL.

Tsk. Online poker. Asdf.

An Argumentative Essay

I shall try my hands at a Junior Collage Year 2 Argumentative General Paper Essay Question. It won't be pretty, but here goes nothing!

"Do you consider that the gains would outweigh the losses if aggression ceased to be a central feature of human behavior?"

The question of whether the gains would outweigh the losses if aggression ceased to be a central feature of the human behavior has been hotly debated in the annals of time. However, on discussing this question, it is paramount to ask ourselves: What do we want to achieve through the cessation of aggression? Is it world peace? Through that, we can deduce that with the absence of aggression, there would be an end to violence and conflict and hence, lead to a more cohesive society.

Through history, we have learned that violence has also been a prevalent solution to our problems. For instance, the Pacific War. A main factor for the war was the Marco Polo Bridge incident. The Bridge is situated near Beijing. Various studies after the war have shown that the incident, indeed, was not planned, but in face, was an accident.

On the 7th July 1937, some Japanese soldiers accidentally ran into conflict with Chinese troops while the two groups were carrying out a joint search for a missing Japanese. The Japanese were denied entry to a suburb area in Beijing. Fighting broke out, and the Japanese accused the Chinese of opening fire on them. The top military leaders in Japan did not want this incident to escalate into a crisis and lead to a war, hence it ordered the local commanders in China to seek a peaceful resolution. However, the Japanese field commanders prevented the carrying out of the instructions.

Through this case study, we can analyze that the pride and arrogance of the Japanese field commanders had directly influenced their actions in which they disobeyed the direct orders of their superiors, in order to seek "justice" for their fellow countrymen. Their arrogance caused them to abuse the authority laid upon them and lead the two nations in an open conflict. Hence, we can conclude that with the absence of aggression as a primal instinct, the Japanese filed commanders could have taken a more leveled viewpoint towards the incident and cooperated with their counterparts to clear the hair splitting misunderstandings and prevent further escalation of the incident. This would definitely ensure that the two nations' ties would remain close and hence ensure the prevention of the Pacific War.

Another prominent issue is the Hitler's Foreign Policy in the 1930s, which directly contributed to the outbreak of World War Two. In the 1920s to 1930s, Hitler openly declared his hatred of the treaty of Versailles and his desire for revenge. He aimed to bring Germany back to her zenith through rearmament and massive building up of the army and navy. Lastly, he wanted to establish a Greater Germany by "uniting" all the German speaking people in Europe. He intended to achieve this through regaining territories lost at the treaty of Versailles,( such as Saar, Polish Corridor, and the union with Austria.) and by capturing other countries to achieve Lebensraum. With Hitler's idealistic and ambitious plan, he proceeded to carry out his aggressive foreign policy through systematically building up his army and navy. He achieved this even before pulling out of the Disarmament Conference by building an air force Luftwaffe which produced Dornier twin-engined bombers.

As part of his aggressive and expansionist foreign policy, he regained the Saar Coalfield in 1935, which was a piece of industrialized land on the French border, reoccupied and re militarised Rhineland, assisted Italy in sending huge amounts of military supplies and aid to contribute to the Spanish Civil War in 1936. These are just some of the actions Hitler took as part of his aggressive and expansionist foreign policy.

Through this case study, we can learn that Hitler, although idealistic and patriotic , resorted to violence and aggression to achieve his aims, instead of using diplomatic means. Hitler is a disillusioned, yet charismatic, man who saw violence and aggression as the only means to regain his beloved country's lost pride.

Aggression is widespread, and can be seen throughout our daily lives. We reply on aggression to resolve an escalating argument. The society engages in a constant battle to weed out those who do not make the cut to the depth of hell in order to achieve progress. On the international level, nations fight with one another on controversial issues such as nuclear power, right to territories and places of religious importance.

The repercussions of aggression continues to be a central feature of human behavior would be catastrophic. Countries would resort to nuclear war to resolve issues. This could potentially wipe out human existence from the face of earth. Society will become even more defiled through the widespread use of violence. Even for one self, we would take a more narrow perspective in life and not see the extent that our action could lead us.

It is hence imperative that we abolish aggression as a central feature of our human behaviour. Although some may argue that with the presence of our aggression, there is a level of competitiveness in the society which will contribute to it's economic progress in the short term. However, it is detriment to our overall fulfillment as a son of God and result in the defiling of the human spirit, undermining our character and hence destroying the world's dream of unity and peace.

In conclusion, with the absence of aggression as a central feature of human behaviour, the gains would most definitely outweigh the losses as there would be an end to violence and conflict leading to a more open minded society which consists of balanced view points that are essential for a more cohesive body of a global citizen

March Holidays

I am sick.
):

(edit- Yensze says Im a SEAHORSE. Haha! It looks cute though, so ok lah. :D)


















It's close to the end of the March Holidays. LOL. Not surprisingly, I don't feel anything. In fact, this week feels like every other week. This week felt like last week, which felt like last last week, which felt like last last last week. How sad is that man.

On the hindsight, at least this means that time passes so fast, I don't even see it going.

For instance, on any particular day, I could be sitting on my couch watching DVDs. I'd watch one movie. Then the next. And another one. Then when I look up from the television set, I realise "wow. it's getting dark already." Um well that's not a very good example of a very productive day, but yeah.

Or else, I'd be extra perceptive of the weather. Like today. Today, I realised the sky was darker than usual. Then, I thought what that implied. Slowly, I'll get to the idea that it's going to rain. And when I look up, it's raining already. Next, I'll think about the things I can't do when it's raining. Example: Go out, cucling, jogging, playing. Then, I'll consider my options: continue watching tv, read a book, sleep, eat, shit, go online, play games.

And that's about the closest I get to giving my brain a work out. I mean, SERIOUSLY. While other people are obliterating their brain cells over diabolical mathematics questions such as why a+a= 2a, I am racking my brains (on a daily basis, no less.) on the inexplicable dilemma of finding something to do.

It comes to a point where I start having wild thoughts and pondering over the meaning of my existence. (aka how pointless it is.) This will probably be the only time I wish that I am back at school.

This will probably also be the only time when I wish seeing Chinfung and Fanwei having one of their regular duels. Or that I am back in Maths class, listening to Mr David Chan once again, hearing him tell us "not to play games with him". And perhaps, pehaps! Sitting in the physics lab with Mary! Singing "you're my sun shine, my only sun shine, you make me HAPPY, when the skies are grey!" and hearing mr chiang talk about the philosophy of life!

Damn it, it's only been six months. I should not be entertaining these thoughts.

Gah.

Coming Soon

"Coming Soon" is showing now.

And seriously it's totally not nice to watch at all. Definitely not value for money. =/ Wahlau, ten dollars- gone! Just like that. Haiz. =(

Went to play pool at West Coast Recreation Centre with Andreas today. Lol. It was fun lah. :D Met a few familiar faces along the way-

"omg is that kian ann!?" on my way to the West Coast Recreation Center. Near Chunming's house. Kian Ann is my primary three and four friend. That means I haven't seen him for close to eight years! I think you could consider us pretty close then. Heh. Apparently, he is now studying at National Junior Collage. (says "hi" to darrin quan) Sigh. I had a sudden revelation- I have such a irrecovable (and enigmatic) affinity with smart people, but somehow, their "smart-ness" never seems to rub off on me.

Wow. Just seeing him brings back so much memories.. Like how that time he used to tease me about being in Nan Hua's Symphonic Band. He might be the reason why I actually quit the band after just one year in it. I seriously can't remember. And those times he coached me at maths (Yes, even at that time, my maths was sibei jialat one. But so what, I still got an "A" for PSLE. _l_)

Met Shaun Ng at the Bowing Alley, apparently he was with his ACS(I) friends. And I think I saw Shaun Woo as well. Couldnt be too sure.

Lol pool was fun lah. Pretty affordable too. Heh. One hour $7.60 nia. Cheap cheap. Better than Vivo City, definitely. We had a draw (2-2) after I *ahem* gave Andreas a chance to redeem himself and also to end to game faster, so as not to incur a bigger financial loss. Sacrifice for the greater good, you know. Heh. But overall, good game lah. :D

Went to watch Coming Soon at Vivo with Nicholas Wong, Junwei, Jason, Chinfung and Yi Rong after that. Ok, I am going to explain why I indict such derogatory statements of the movie in a few succint points.

a) It is totally not scary at all. I am serious. The movie relies on the element of surprise to shock us. The make up is seriously asdf. I mean, after seeing the same ghoulish creature for two hours, you kind of get immune to it.

b) It's like a freaking comedy! I mean, you know something is definitely wrong when half the time the movie is screening, you see/hear people laughing their head off (ok, not literally; that would definitely be scary.) in a horror movie.

c) It. Is. So. Draggy. The director basically recycled the few rudimentary scenes. A particularly god example is the deja-vu scene where the main actor (Ah Shan aka Som) is suppose to die, but he keeps dodging his pursuers into the room to destroy the reels of film. I mean, wtf! What is he trying to prove man. He repeated the scene not once, twice, but three times! Gah. Half way through we were like, "JUST GET OVER IT AND KILL HIM ALREADY."

d) The ending is seriously "wtf!". I can't find any other words to describe it.

Lol. After dinner, we went to play arcade for awhile, before heading home. Lol.

Seriously, it would be pretty interesting if they made a sequel to this movie (maybe "Showing Now") where Choba (let me first state, I didnt come up with this idea. Kudos and credits to Chinfung.) gourges people's balls instead of eyes. I mean, whats the use of gourging their eyes anyway. Play ping pong? Now that would definitely scare the shit out of people man

Environment

The light of the dying sun slowly faded through the grills of the barred windows. As Yun strained her ears to listen for any approaching footsteps, she could hear the nocturnal creatures of the night awakening. She felt a familiar sense of trepidation as her palpitating heart raced abnormally fast. The wind gently caressed her jet black hair and whispered stories of fear into her ears and she curled her frail body into an even tighter ball.

An echo of a door slamming close resounded throughout the silent house. She cried out in fear, and stared at the wooden reinforced door in front of her intently, willing it not to open. A second passed. Two. She heaved a sigh of relief. It was a false alarm.

*click* An ominous sound of a lock springing free rose from the silence of the night. The door swung open on its well oiled hinges, and a towering figure stepped into the room. The man's facial features were hidden by the gloom of the night, but his silhouette revealed a well built physique and toned muscles rippling from his broad arms. "It's time."

Yun screamed till her lungs went hoarse as the man stepped forward to methodically remove her clothes, pinning her under his arms. Against her frantic struggles, he ruthlessly raped her, and groaned in pleasure. As Yun's incessant screams reached a crescendo, the man gave her a tight slap, and her head snapped back onto the floor, knocking her unconscious, where she was blissfully unaware of the preceding events.

In the ensuring cacophony of thoughts and feelings that assailed Yun, she felt herself being transported into the past. Memories enveloped her and she steeled herself to be engulfed by the ghosts of the past. A moment later, she found herself dancing in the lush green fields, surrounded by the flittering butterflies and chattering of the birds. She was only eight years old. The lithe figure of her mother beckoned her from under the large oak tree, where she had laid out a picnic.

Yun skipped across the plains, and found that the distance between her mother and her grew ever larger. As she broke out into a sprint, thunder clouds loomed, and with a sudden flash of light, Yun's eyes were momentarily blinded. A cacophony of noise blotted out her sense of awareness. With her arms outstretched, Yun choked back tears as she desperately tried to reach for her mother. As her vision finally cleared, in the place of her mother was a charred spot. Her mother was gone.

A splash of water against her face forced her back into an equally dismal reality. Yun was lying naked on the floor, the pool of freezing water seeping through the cracks in the concrete floor. As she struggled into the rags of her clothes, she shivered uncontrollably. Her ordeal was over. For today, at least.

For thirteen years, she had survived night after night of mindless rape and torture. Often, she laid awake at night, on the thin mattress, terrified by the scampering sounds that scratched incessantly behind the wall. The room was her living nightmare, one that she could never escape from. She had grown to detest the dreary grey walls, the dilapidated ceiling, and most of all, the springing of the door lock.

As she clutched the barred window, her eyes traversed over the bleak and forbidding field. The moon, which peeked out from amongst the cumulus clouds, unveiled the overgrown "lallang" and weeds. A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the open space, allowing Yun to catch a glimpse of a withered oak tree. Yun felt tears brimming at the corner of her eyes. Her heart tore at wretched scene before her. The field was the last extant link to her deceased mother.

She felt lugubrious, her mind in a turmoil. Intermittent images of her mother flashed in her mind, colliding with the carnage scenes of rape. Tears of joy mixed with tears of regret, and little snorts of laughter escaped from her throat. She was going crazy, she could feel it. Yet, at the same time, she felt sober and clear headed like never before.

All of a sudden, Yun had a revelation. She could no longer live like this anymore. The life she was leading now served no meaning to her existence. In her mind's eye, she plotted, and sat as usual in the dark and dank corner of the room. She no longer felt oppressed by the forbidding walls. Instead, she embraced it, and appreciated the vivaciousness of the night life.

Seconds ticked by on the clock. Yun watched as the moon gradually fell from her throne in her sky. The sun rose like a majestic king to take her place, and she basked in his glory. Soon enough, she heard the sounds of feet striding down the hallway. She smiled, as she saw the man open the the door. This time, she was ready.

Yun launched herself at the man she used to call father, and became to attack him ferociously, viciously using her long and unkempt fingernails to ingrain deep scratch marks on his arm. The man uttered a startled cry and tripped onto the floor, frantically waving his arms in an effort to fend her off. But it was all in vain. Yun was fully enveloped in the crimson curtain of rage and she could not be stopped.

When the man finally stopped moving, Yun stood up and brushed the dust off her clothes. With a final kick to the man's immobile body, she left the room, leaving behind an unrecognizable corpse with ragged clothes torn to shreds.

The next morning, the papers reported: Girl Found Dead Hanging on an Oak Tree. Yun had freed herself from her torment, at long last.

The Misery

Oh god. The misery! Racking my brains to find new things to do daily to keep myself occupied is so tedious.

Speaking about misery. I feel so terrible not going to the literature musical show to support darrin quan. I suppose he is singing tonight. Especially since I told him I'll go earlier yesterday. I think I shall have to live with my guilty conscience for the rest of my life.

I can't believe I allowed myself to be psycho-ed by weilong.

OMGARGH.

I am such a hypocrite.

):

I.T. Fair 2009

Oh god, the I.T. Fair.

It is so fucking crowded, and so fucking noisy. It's immensely annoying how fast the products get snapped up, especially if that particular product was what you specifically wanted. You'd wind up feeling very hot and bothered. Quite literally in fact.

Went to Suntec City Convention Hall after making a smallBIG (lolol. private joke.) detour with Clinston. Damn funny, lol. Lots of crazy stories on the way. Yeah, anyway, we walked though every single booth, and now I'm like damn exhausted.

There's a hell lot of shops. Enough said.

Life in Singapore

所谓, "活到老. 学到老". Loosely translated into English, it basically means that learning never stops. As a sixteen year old, I have completed three stages in the seemingly endless journey of learning in life, namely kindergarten education, primary school education, and secondary school education. I am now entering the fourth phase of my mandatory education stage: the tertiary education.

In Singapore, there are only three things we place priority on:
1) Money
2) Love
3) Education

Everything else is just bullshit.

At a young and tender age of sixteen, we already know that unless you've got the goods, your dreams will always remains as dreams.

"Without a certificate, you'r destined to become a road sweeper"
"If you enter ITE, It's The End for you."
"Money makes the world go round"

Discriminatory statements? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Many people consider Singaporeans to be "kiasu". "Kiasu" is such a colloquial term. I prefer to call ourselves "realist", "pragmatic" and an "opportunist".

In the current economic crisis, everyone is fighting to secure their jobs. Or perhaps fighting for jobs. The recent conclusion of the Jobs Fair can attest to that.

We all have dreams. Dreams that we hope we can achieve, dreams that seem so near, yet so far.

Yet, without education, what makes you think you can get a job? Passion can only get you so far. Without a mandatory certificate, passion is irrelevant.

As students studying in Singapore, we are under the aegis of our parents, who supports us, and the Government that places a high emphasis on the importance of education, and throws a lifeline to whoever who needs it.

Yes, we have a wide variety of achievements.
Yes, we have a whole room filled with trophies
Yes, we have a wide range of talents.

所谓, "一山 终有一山 高" SO DO EVERYONE ELSE!

Welcome to the new generation of Singaporeans, aptly coined "Gen Y" ("Why")

We are the bunch of Singaporeans who knows not of the hardships our parents/grandparents suffered. The chaotic and destitute days where war and violence went hand in hand.
We are the bunch of Singaporeans that have enjoyed life through prosperous years, and have lived with a roof over our heads and a place we can call home throughout life.
We are the batch of Singaporeans that face the toughest competition yet- with each other.

(The above are claims made in general, of course. Nothing across the board.)

You see, with everyone obtaining the same type of certificate, fighting for the same limited spots in the university (oh, don't deny it.), struggling to be the cream of the crop, theres bound to be some.. conflict. Internal or otherwise.

Oh, don't force me to air the dirty laundry.

When people are down, you step on them, just to make sure that they can't come back up. (Perhaps not literally, but definitely metaphorically.)

"Realistic," one would say.
"One less competition for me," another would comment.
"Survival of the fittest!" yet another would chime in.

And without doubt, this scenario is repeated throughout the world.

In Japan, where students die from excessive studying.
In China, where students try to outfight and outlast each other.

and... of course, in Singapore, where students try to kill professors just because they lost their scholarships (JUST KIDDING. I sincerely hope that's an isolated incident.)

Sometimes don't you just get tired of it all? The mere thought of it, competing against thousands of other students in the same cohort, with the same dreams, with the same aspirations, with the same ideals? Doesn't it make you exhausted?

I don't know. I don't wish to entertain these thought.

Maybe I am thinking too much.
Maybe I am being unnecessarily paranoid.

All I know is that if I don't study,
I can't get a diploma.
If I can't get a diploma,
I can't become a Journalist.
If I can't become a Journalist,
then WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN GOING TO SCHOOL FOR?

Role Models

is a fucking hilarious show. LOL. The ratingis NC16, but somehow it felt more like an M18 show to me.

Met WeiLong, ChinFung, Aven and Zachary at one, before heading to Mos Burger for lunch. Lol. Seriously, I can't understand the long standing trend of keeping long fringes now. Now that I've experienced long and unkempt hair that coms down to cover the eyes, I definitely don't envy them anymore.

I mean, for one, it is superbly irritating. The hair has a perculiar affinity for the eyes. and that not only obstructs the vision, but also causes irritation to the eyes.

Second hair follicles which cover practically half the face tend to cause breakouts due to the blockage of pores, which leads to a rise in the volume of sebum produced. This is particularly disastrous for people with sensitive skin.

Finally, Long hair gives one an impression of being a delinquent, That's why schools prohibit "long, outlandish, punkish hairstyles; it's detriment to your image.

Hah. I feel like such a role model already. :D

We went to Vivo afterwards, and played pool. Lol, it was quite fun, but we literally paid a high price for an hour of endless drama and fun. $12 an hour, so that meant that each person paid $3. Expected, considering the sky high rental prices for shops in Vivo City. A little reckless of us, but oh well.

We lost the chop! Lol. That small, innoucous chop, which was there for one moment, and gone in the next. Haha. Heng the person didn't notice when we went to return the stuff.

Next, the highlight of the day! We went to the cinema with "imported goods" (lolol. private joke. but anyway I bet loads of people do it all the time. Heh. ) in hands. Yeah, the movie was simply terrific. Every twist in the story was accompained by hilarious punchlines.

A particularly memorable scone was when Augie Farks told Danny Donahue that he was going to "get King Argotron in the rear" during the Final Laire battle. Deinitely, the unexpected scenes of nudity cam as a complete surprise. Nobody's complaining though. Heh.

Jokes and puns aside, the movie managedto convey a message so rudimentary we tend to forget it: to go for what we want most in life. It strives to inspire us to accept who we are and what we will become through examples of juvenile delinquests, social misfits, and recalcitrant men.

Perhaps it is the power of friendship.
Perhaps it is the never-say-die attitude.
Perhaps it is love that drives us on.

Or is it a combination of all three?

What is it that motivates us, that keeps us going, overcoming the endless oceans and towering mountains of obstacles that we constantly encounter through our journey in life?

For me, it doesn't seem like anyof the above. Somehow, I think what makes me tick is "Inspiration".

What about you?

bored.

I am bored out of my mind.

Friday, March 6, 2009

Who are we?

They say music transcends any language, race, and religious barrier. It is the language that unites us all, the one thing we homo sapiens have in common- the appreciation of music. Music is the heart and soul of millions around the world.

Something as common as the sound of the passing car makes one feel assured. Without the sound of music, life seems boring, empty even. Music adds color to one's life. As you read this post, you may be listening to the latest hits or perhaps simply enjoying the silence.

Yet, how can one deny the power of music? We continuously try to engage our self in activities that will keep us occupied. Can you deny that inexorable feeling in your heart? The one which fears loneliness? The one which fears solitude? We try to surround our self with friends to chase away that ghastly feeling. We try to expand our social circle, to know more people, to always be "happening".

And this is where music plays it's part. In order to hang out with "cool" friends, we try to accept the legions of music genres, just so that there is a common topic. Not because we actually enjoy listening to them, but unfortunately, in today's society, in the words of America's Next Top Model, "If you're not in, you're out.". Everyone tries to be the most happening person on earth.

However, if everyone wants to be happening, who is going to play the role of the social misfit?

Just like the more appropriate example of the issue of fashion, trends change every few seasons. Are we really going to change our self, change who we really are, just to stay "in fashion"? I am just glad Singapore only has one season, so even if I wear the same type of clothes three hundred and sixty five days a year, there's no reason for anyone to complain.

The point now, is how we can truly "be" ourselves.

How indeed? This seems like an impossible task at hand. What with the media propagandizing the latest "in" things, with friends, cliques, and the society at large! Peer pressure should never be underestimated. The constant struggle to remain on par with the rest of your peers, and the insatiable need to be accepted in a clique.

This is a question I have been pondering over for a while now.

I have to admit that I am still searching for an answer. Somehow, I got the strangest feeling that the solution will be similar to how we solve mathematics questions (oh god, the horrors.) No, not with dy/dx-es or the Pythagoras Theorem, but rather, the concept that there are multiple solutions to every problem.

Hence, I have come to a conclusion that in lieu of the daunting problem that lies ahead of us, the only way to get past this obstacle, or perhaps to overcome it, is to search within our self for the answer.

"This above all: to thine own self be true". - Shakespeare's Hamlet (Act I, Scene III).

"O" Level Certificate

It is official. With the laminated certificate showing the outrageous results I have obtained, there is no denying it anymore. Yet, there is a sense of finality, like there is nothing much I can do about it anymore.

Today, I went to Clementi Town Secondary to collect the accursed certificate with Chunming, Chin Fung, Weilong, Ivan and Changwen.

How should I describe my feelings?

Perhaps I was excited at the prospect of obtaining the highly anticipated certificate which I had worked towards for four years. Perhaps I was sombre at the thought of the pathetic results encased in the unfeeling plastic shield. Perhaps I just couldn't be bothered anymore.

Somehow, it felt like a combination of all three.

Even so, as I filed the newly acquired certificate into my portfolio, I realised what a terrible mistake I have done.

There it was! A miserable, lonely "A", like a thorn among the roses of the "B"s and "C".

Somehow, I don't think this will impress anyone reviewing my portfolio later in life.

The world is cruel. The world does not sympathize with the people who have the potential, but are unable to release them. The society looks down on people who do not make the cut. Friends discriminate against one another. Even family members have high expectations of one another.

Sometimes, you might wonder why God doesn't step in to help cure the world of this terminal illness. Perhaps a Judgement Day will do the trick.

____________________________________________________________

We went to Aloha afterwards! I think Left4Dead Versus matches are so engaging and interesting. Especially if you are part of the infected. The possibilities are endless as to how you could actually kill someone.

You could be given the role of the hunter, where you pounce on the Survivors, and catch them unaware.

You could be given the role of the smoker, where you use that elongated and puissant tongue of yours at a distance to incapacitate your enemies. God, I can't imagine what that tongue could do in a french kiss. It would literally be "the kiss of death".

You could be given the role of the Boomer! Smirk with delight when you manage to cover the opponent's team in your disgusting bile. God, imagine the stink.

OR YOU COULD BE THE TANK. Dance with happiness when your opponents tremble in fear at the mere sight of your hulking rock solid figure!

Lol. CS was pretty fun, I got the ball rolling by buying the ultra gay tactical shield and shooting them dead with my godly "number five" pistol when they're out of bullets. Ahaha! That, coupled with the player kills, really made the game a whole lot more exciting. Lol at the end of the round, you see everyone with negatives scores, because friendly fire was on for some reason.

DotA with the PitLord was rather hilarious. I can't root for nuts. LOL. The hero is an excellent example of a china farmer, but where carry heroes are concerned, I don't think I made the cut. Heh. Oh well. Nobody is perfect. :D

I WANT MY LAPTOP NAOW.

Curiousity Killed the Cat

This post was suppose to be written on JokersOnline. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have now moved this post on the problems faced by teenagers to MatrixRedefined.

_____________________________________________________________

Someone once told me about the abhorrent streak of perverseness in guys in the present modern society. Everyone is connected, and everyone has the power to reach out to tap into the unlimited potential of the Internet to draw on the boundless resources for whatever their motives.

That, of course, means everyone is able to watch films which are by all rights, detriment to the integrity of women and insults their very existence, as part of their effort in either satisfying their curiosity, or perhaps as an entertainment. There are a multitude of reasons why people commit certain actions, and hence the list is inexhaustible.

Although it is obviously illegal for minors to be exposed to such indecent acts, and with coordinated efforts by corporates to ensure that such details are not to easily available to minors, such as Windows Vista, which promote Parental Controls which limit their children's access to *ahem* websites.

As the saying goes, "Where there is a will, there is a way", and if these little guys set their mind onto something, there's no stopping them.

Which brings us to the real, and very present, problem of what on earth we can do to satisfy our curiosity. There is no denying it. Once boys hit puberty, all hell breaks loose. We want to know EVERYTHING, and I do mean everything, about certain body parts and their functions. And most importantly find reasons for particular hormonal (or physical) changes which appear out of the blue.

For example, a considerably less controversial point, the sudden breaking of voice. (HAH. I'm sorry, I refuse to go into the more descriptive points.) One moment, we could sing operas at ease, and the next thing we know, we'd be (what is known in hokkien.) zhao-sia-ing every few sentences. There is no warning. There is no "transitional period". It just happens.

In case you still cannot emphatise with the desecdants of Adam, here is a more provocative example. The appearance of.... HAIR. (HAH. I STILL REFUSE TO GO INTO MORE DETAILS. So sue me, I don't have the guts.) What was once a chiselled and toned body (credits to our high metabolism, of course.) is suddenly violated by the unwelcomed invasions of body hair! And boy, do they invade everywhere. In legions at a time! Again, there was no warning signals.

Hence, you can see from these two very secondary points why there is a need for ready made information at our finger tips.

The Government recognises this need, and that is why we undergo seemingly interminable Sexual Education classes every now and then. But I say that this is pointless! The topics that they cover are just the tip of the ice berg, and answer only the most superficial of our insatiable questions.

The real question that we want to ask, deep down in the deepest, darkest recession of our hearts, is what on earth are girls?!

Remember the times in Primary school, where we'd shy away from girls. I still remember feeling embarassed about the "Walk in two lines, hold hands with your partner" rule that they forced us to comply during that period. It was just a natural reaction, nothing sexual about it.

BUT NOW! Tell us to hold a girl's hand, and first, we'll see the face. Then, we'll see the body. Finally, we will have to decide (if we personally know the person already) if that means that we are steady.

I am not trying to act as some sort of a professional at these sort of things. To tell you the truth, I am as inexperienced as the typical guy-next-door. However, even so, we ALREADY have a perception of how things are suppose to be done.

There is no such thing as "I just want to hold your hand". We know this because if we do that, people will get the wrong signal.

Where do all these perceptions come from? Obviously not from the Sexual Education classes. They never told us how girls don't like guys obssesive with spending every single second with soccer. They never told us how girls don't like guys indiscriminately pointing ther middle fingers, or spouting indecent vulgarities.

There are only a few ways guys can get information.
a) Other guys.
b) Reading books
c) Internet.

and since we all know what happens when we go on the internet to "research stuff", I propose that the Government should review the policy of the Sexual Education classes for them to cover topics which are more relevant to our questions, and definitely, encourage more open atmosphere, where we are free to ask our most coveted question to professionals.

Global Recession.

This post was suppose to be written on JokersOnline. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have now moved this post on the current Global Recession to MatrixRedefined.

____________________________________________________________


For my first topic, I would like to touch on the global financial recession.

It has certainly affected all of us, hasn't it? I mean, what with the rising food prices, the exponential increase of our daily essentials, and not to mention the sudden obliteration of the student concession card. The last point is particularly distressing.

Concession! For sixteen years, we students have been enjoying a luxurious life, one subsidized by the ever generous government with their bountiful taxpayer's money. And suddenly, we, the polytechnic students, are left stranded. What was once 45 cents is now 95 cents! Remembering the past, where we'd tap into an MRT station, and tap out without a moment's hesitation, just because it's fun. Sigh. What has life become? Are we made to pay, just because we made the choice of entering a polytechnic? This is preposterous!

Recently, Singapore's public transport system has reviewed the fare system. They have decided to reduce the fare across the board, in lieu of the global financial crunch.

An exerpt from "http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/download/Fare_reduction_20090221.pdf"

4.6% Reduction In Bus & Train Fares
From 1 APRIL 2009
Lower Fares For Commuters – 2 to 14-cent Reduction
On 23 January 2009, SBS Transit and SMRT announced that they
will not apply for fare adjustments this year and instead work with the
Public Transport Council (PTC) to pass the savings they will receive
from the 2009 Singapore Budget to commuters.
From 1 April 2009, commuters will see an overall 4.6% reduction
in bus and train fares. This more than offsets the fare increases of the past
three years combined (0.7% in 2008, 1.1% in 2007, and 1.7% in 2006). It
also does not include the increase of up to 5% under the fare adjustment
formula that the public transport operators have foregone by not applying
for a fare adjustment in 2009.
The fare revision exercise for 2009 has been brought forward to
April instead of October so that commuters can benefit earlier from the
reduction in fares.

This, technically means that we polytechnic students stand to benefit from the new changes.

HOWEVER.

IT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE'RE PAYING MORE THAN THE JUNIOR COLLAGE STUDENTS.

Comparing statistics gathered by the public transport companies: (After fare reductions!)
Adults(AND POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS) pay an average of $1.15 per trip

while

Student Concession(hi, we are students too.) pay 44 cents.

NOW DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

Its more than two and a half time times of what junior collage students are paying!

I believe that we should be offered the same benefits of a student concession card only because

a) We are students as well! Now who told you polytechnic students do not study?

b) Its unfair for us, we don't earn a single cent. Apart from the diminutive pocket money that we receive on a weekly basis anyway. And even that rapidly depletes with the close to biweekly $20 withdrawalsfrom my Giro acount.

c) We feel discriminated. It's as if the government favours junior collage students more than they favour us.

Sigh. Now you understand the pain we go through everyday. The heartache that follows every "beep" on the ez link card reader. The emotional trauma as we read the remaining balance.

Oh boy, just thinking about it makes me depressed.

I think what we really need is a revamped Jobs Credit Scheme to be unveiled on the next Budget Day. It equates to a 9 percentage point cut in the employers’ CPF contribution rate. It will cost taxpayers S$4.5 billion dollars, and will be funded by our reserves. Now, if just a third of this went to a new Study Credit Scheme, imagine the benefits that would follow!

Now, instead of saving jobs, the government would be REWARDING students for their efforts in studying. Isn't this more relevant to us? After 16 years of non-stop, high octane action, we deserve a Budget Day of our own- specially designed for students.

IF YOU HAVE ANY CONSCIENCE AT ALL! PLEASE JOIN THE FACEBOOK GOUP

"PETITION AGAINST HIGH BUS FARES for POLY STUDENTS"

and join their efforts in raising awareness of every Polytechnic student's plight!

CHIN FUNG OWES ME THREE DOLLARS.

Ok, that was to remind myself, just in case I forgot.

I was supposed to go shopping for clothes today. Note the term "supposed". I even withdrew money from the bank! Went to Jurong Point at about 11, after meeting ChunMing, Ivan, and Boris.

We spent a respectable amount of time shopping, and I even saw something which was actually appealing to me.

HOWEVER, the price was a turn off. I mean. That tee-shirt cost like thirty dollars lah. And I am quite confident that my sister is able to acquire more visually appealing materials at a much lower prices.

We had lunch at MacDonald's after meeting with WeiLong and ChangWen, before proceeding to Chin Fung's house to have like seven hours of tense, edgy, yet enjoyable rounds of card games.

I am quite pleased to announce that I won fifteen dollars! (Including the orginal bet, that is.)

Haha. There were lots of dramatic episodes, but I think that such activities should be limited to the "on the rare occasion", because unlike that Lai ChunMing (heh.), I do not have a magic box which I can withdraw money from as and when I like. Sadly enough.

Sigh.

I am wronged. ):

I am feeling immensely emotional now. ):

People have so little confidence in me!

Dragonball Z

I think Dragonball Z is such an enjoyable game. When you're owning that is. Unfortunately, under circumstances such as mine, you will not only find that the said game is rigged, it's also unbalanced.

The common symptoms one will suffer after three hours of continuous button smashing, constant flowing of expletives and the vexing feeling of being trapped in what seems like a never-ending combination are backaches, sore fingers and a rather sombre mood.

Woke up rather prematurely at 11, then went to meet ChunMing. God, I can't stand his fringe. It literally reaches to his mouth. Tsk. He had his lunch at Mos Burger, and then we talked cock (I should find a more appropriate term someday.) for awhile, before setting off for his house.

I knew we should have went to Aloha.

Nevertheless, I won fifteen rounds, and that made me

The Job.

Ok, I think this is official. I am no longer working at ThaiExpress @ Holland Village. This is partly because

a) I don't have a working schedule given in advance for this whole week.
b) There is no phone call from them.
c) I have not received my pay.

The last point is particularly distressing. Not that I would ever imagine that ThaiExpress is in such dire straits that they can't even afford to pay me $150+-. Perhaps I should give them a call tomorrow morning. You know, just a friendly reminder. :D

I think it's appropriate to do a review of my one month maiden working experience.

Basically, I'd landed a job at ThaiExpress mainly because of Zachary Chee. I should have exercised more discretion when they offered me the position of a "Service Crew". The pay is paltry. Only a miserable $4.50 for an agonising hour. And so I started working at Holland Village, after being deployed from West Coast Plaza. The reason given was that they were lacking of manpower in the stated location.

Obviously I had a hard time adapting to the new and may I add, harsh environment, where everything has to be done in rapid fire succession. For instance, how one is suppose to "clear the tables" and at the same time "push in the chairs".

Ah, the chairs. Don't get me started on it. I have no idea why they bought those type of rocks. For one, it is inordinately heavy. The design is screwed. I always seem to have a hard time pushing them in, because those "legs" REFUSE to budge, and constantly get tangled in the legs of the table.

And the background music. I am telling you, the first few weeks into my job was torturous. There was basically one track, and one track only. All five minutes of it, put on the loop for three hundred and sixty minutes of an average double working shift. That means I listen to the same track for an average of seventy two times a day. And that is only in a single day. I work three times in a week. Its.. pretty annoying, just to think about it.

Sorry for the digressions. Anyway, my main duties include clearing the tables, setting the tables, serving the food and drinks, serving iced water, attending to customers, cleaning the glass door, sweeping the floor, and mopping the floor. It is basically, pardon the colloquial term, a SaiKang Warrior, at the whims of the Manager.

As you can see, it is definitely not a very attractive job offer, despite what it's Recruitment Drive promotion suggests (Good incentives, good pay, energetic crew). Zachary can probably attest to that.

On the other hand, the staff meals are regular, and pretty decent. At least they care for our welfare. The lunch include a free flow of rice, with a typical one meat and soup combination. The dinner however, is limited to just a single plate of what normally is noodles or rice. Definitely not filling at all.

Overall, I'd say it's an ok job for those really hardcore and desperate to earn money. I mean, once you find the rhythm, it's alot easier to do things. On my part, this experience further reinforces my hypothesis that I'm not made to work in the F&B Industry, and to put it simply, if I don't land a job in the Singapore Media scene, I am screwed.

Ok, thats all for this review!

The Inaugural Post

Hello everyone! As this is my first post on the MatrixRedefined, I hope to do a little self introduction of myself before plunging into the inexorable, mundane vicissitudes one faces in the everyday life.

:D

Well, first off, I am Nicholas Teo. Self confessed vocabulary junkie, I enjoy learning new words everyday, and I'm not afraid to use them at the slightest opportunity. Although I'd like to think that English is my forte, the recently concluded 2008 "O" Level Examinations proved that my English has all the potential of a B3. (Not that I like to admit it, but one gets over it in time.) However, I am undeterred.

My dream is actually to become a journalist. A print journalist, to be exact. However, I'm actually not too picky on the specifics. Personally, I won't mind getting sent to the front line, or going to destitute countries, or perhaps being stuck at desk jobs doing editorials.

I have a renewed passion for music! As a matter of fact, I plan to try for the Singapore Polytechnic band. Now why would I do that, you may ask. After having supposedly "suffered" under the hands of various conductors whose names run the gamut from A-Y. (Ok, that was an exaggeration. ) I discovered that music is actually a form of expression, and seriously, I can't imagine myself in other ccas.

As for my personality.. hmm. I really don't know how to describe my personality. I'd like to say spontaneous, but somehow, that seems like a lie. Perhaps it is simply fun- loving. I love having a good time. It all depends on how you would judge me.

Apart from that, I seriously detest people who, in addition to being childish and immature, also enjoy making derogatory statements which undermine others'. I find it entremely repulsive. People like them should be condemned to the depths of hell.

That's about all for an introductory post. :D Seriously, I hope school would start soon. Everyday seem to be the same routine, and I've run out of new things to do. In addition, after six months of disuse, my brain feels rusty.

Sigh.
